Our Review
After integrating the 2pcs for Anet ET4 ET5 42 Stepper Motor Nema 17 1.8 Degree 0.9A 0.4N.M 90cm Cable for A6 E10 E16 A8 Plus ET4X ET5X 3D Printer Parts Proactive into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include Step Angle: 1.8 degrees, Rated Current: 0.9A, Holding Torque: 65 Ncm.
Mechanical performance was consistent in our testing. Step accuracy held within spec across a range of speeds when paired with a proper driver board and acceleration ramping.
Wiring was straightforward. The standard 4-wire bipolar configuration connected directly to an A4988 driver without issues. Color codes matched common pinout charts.
Overall, the 2pcs for Anet ET4 ET5 42 Stepper Motor Nema 17 1.8 Degree 0.9A 0.4N.M 90cm Cable for A6 E10 E16 A8 Plus ET4X ET5X 3D Printer Parts Proactive fills its role well. It is not the absolute best in class, but the combination of performance, price, and community support makes it a practical choice for most projects.
What We Like
- High holding torque keeps position under load
- NEMA 17 mount pattern fits most CNC and 3D printer frames
- Reliable bipolar winding configuration for consistent torque
- Works with standard A4988/TMC2209 stepper drivers
Watch Out For
- Wire color coding varies between manufacturers
- Draws full rated current even when stationary (gets warm)
- Loses steps at high speeds without acceleration ramping
