Part 2 is here:    • Let me explain microstepping and chop...  
Stepper motors! Pretty important for 3d printers, right? But does anyone understand how they work?

Me neither, but armed with a little knowledge and a lot of Wikipedia, and maybe some long nose pliers - we'll get to the bottom of this.
Join me on a 3 part voyage of discovery into what's inside them, what makes them tick (hah), how you drive them, and eventually we'll get on to how you shut them up!

Part one (this part) is about what they are, why they are, and taking them to bits and watching them move. Fascinating.

Any comments please let me know, I'm sure I've missed points, made mistakes on this one, corrections will go here or be picked up in the next episode.

Waste: None. Nothing.
No steppers..okay maybe one stepper was harmed in the making of this video. For science.
