Important Notes
- The motor gear is the same specification as BMG gears. Due to gear height tolerances, please verify motor dimensions against your extruder's requirements before purchasing if using outside the FROG Extruder series.
- Slight color variations may occur due to monitor settings and lighting conditions.
- Please allow ±1–10mm measurement tolerance due to manual measurement methods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this 36mm pancake stepper motor compatible with my 3D printer extruder?
A: This stepper motor is specifically designed for the FROG Extruder series and uses the same gear specification as BMG gears. Before using it with other extruder brands, please compare the motor's dimensions and gear height against your extruder's requirements to ensure a proper fit.
Q: Does this stepper motor work with both 12V and 24V 3D printer systems?
A: Yes! This 36mm dual-drive extruder stepper motor is compatible with both 12V and 24V power systems, making it versatile across a wide range of 3D printer control boards and configurations.
Q: What is the step angle of this pancake stepper motor, and why does it matter for 3D printing?
A: The step angle is 1.8° ± 0.09°. A precise step angle is critical for accurate filament extrusion — it determines how finely the motor can control filament movement, which directly impacts print quality, layer consistency, and overall dimensional accuracy of your 3D printed parts.
Q: What is included in the package?
A: Each package includes either 1x 36mm Pancake Stepper Motor or 1x Heat Sink, depending on your selected option at checkout. Please review your selection carefully before placing your order.
