Abstract - 3D printing technology used to create physical objects layer by layer from a digital model. In FDM, a thermoplastic filament is heated and extruded through a nozzle onto a build platform, where it solidifies as it cools, forming a precise structure. The process allows for complex geometries and custom designs to be produced with high precision. FDM is commonly used in prototyping, manufacturing, and even in healthcare and education, due to its affordability and versatility. Materials used in FDM include PLA, ABS, and PETG, which can be selected based on the desired properties such as strength, flexibility, or durability. This technology has revolutionized industries by making rapid, cost-effective production more accessible

Key Words:  stepper motor, extruder, PLA, Build platform, 24-volt power supply
