As you might have noticed there are some vibrations in the video, these are due to me typing at 1.5m from the printer. It is that sensitive! That makes it even more impressive to me how little vibration there is from the stepper motors when it moves.

The stepper drivers are TMC5160s with microPlyer (interpolation between steps) and StealthChop (noiseless operation at low speeds) technology.

This is my setup. Yes it is messy. Yes that's a piece of lego to stop a pin from shorting...
