Creality 42-40 Stepper Motor

Stepper Motors are responsible for translating signals and power into precise movements in mechanical builds and designs. Robot arms, conveyor belts and 3D printers are all machines that rely on stepper motors to move crucial parts around. 3D Printers are constantly moving on many axis’s as it builds your models one layer at a time. However, because stepper motors are commonly the most overworked parts on 3D Printers, there’s no doubt that eventually they will give up, either entirely by simply stopping operations, or by giving skipped steps and reduced torque as they age. And of course, it goes without saying that a broken stepper can immediately put a 3D Printer out of operation, while a faulty or worn stepper can easily cause artefacts or other faults in designs as they miss steps. We keep stock of a good range of 3D printer stepper motors so that you can quickly replace them when necessary and get straight back to being creative with your 3D printing.

This Creality 42-40 Stepper Motor is a common part and stocked as an Original Creality Spare that’s compatible with multiple Creality models on the X-Axis, Y-Axis, and E-Axis. As an X-Axis motor, this 42-40 Stepper Motor controls the gantry’s vertical movement on printers like the CR-10 Max and CR-10S Pro V2. On the Y-Axis, the 42-40 Stepper Motor moves the bed back and forth on your CR-10 Smart or CR-6 SE. The E-Axis pushes the filament through the extruder itself, allowing you to print smoothly and precisely. The 42-40 Stepper Motor replaces your CR-10 Max or CR-10 Smart printer’s E-Axis motor. Having a decommissioned 3D Printer is a terrible fate, but Creality Original Spares are specifically designed as easily drop-in replacements for you to continue creating beautiful, functional or just plain silly prints on your favourite 3D printers.

Although Creality 3D have been working within the industry since 2014, their addition of the Creality CR-10 series is what really catapulted them to the front line of competition, as it offered substantially better quality compared to other 3D printers – while simultaneously reducing the cost and complexities of the machines.

The quality of Creality’s 3D Printers and accessories shows through in their market history, with the brand selling around 3000 printers in their first year on the market, followed by about 10,000 sales over the next year. Now, Creality easily sells around 30,000 or more 3D printers each year, with sales continuously rising as they bring out more models. These are impressive numbers when considering the fact that they entered the industry as unknown competitors, quickly rising through the ranks and now even competing with Wanhao and similar top brands.

If you are looking for excellent 3D Printers that offer affordability without compromising on quality, Creality 3D is certainly a brand that you should take note of. From the basic Creality Ender 2 all the way up to the large build volume Creality CR-10 S5, there are few other brands who are capable of offering such a refined package while still maintaining some of the most enticing prices in the industry.
