Upgrading your 3D printer, assembling a compact CNC, or tuning a laser engraver and want maximum accuracy at every step? Then you need a stepper motor that combines reliability, power, and value. The XIAOXI 3D Nema17 Stepper Motor (model 17HS4023) checks all those boxes and is a popular choice among makers, hobbyists, and pros who refuse to compromise on quality.
This motor delivers a holding torque of up to 0.42 N·m, a 1.8° step angle for high precision, and runs at 1.5 A — ideal where stability and control are essential: 3D printers, mini CNC machines, laser engravers, robotics, and automated DIY mechanisms. Compact, efficient, and built for serious performance.
The best part? On AliExpress it’s only €6.39 (VAT included!) instead of €14.86 — more than 50% off. Order via this link: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c2QbmsH5
AliExpress now pre-collects VAT and any applicable customs fees, so there are no extra doorstep charges. In the past, cross-border parcels could bring surprises, but that’s fixed now: reputable sellers clearly show VAT-inclusive pricing and no hidden costs.
Even better: with the same link https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c2QbmsH5 you can stack extra savings with coins and promos, including an instant €2 off on orders from €14. Grab it while it lasts.
The motor is sold by XIAO XI 3 WEI Store, a well-rated AliExpress seller. Reviews are notably positive (average 4.8/5) with comments like:
– “Item as described.”
– “Fast delivery, goods as described.”
– “Top!”
Exactly what you want from a component: quality, zero hassle, and fast shipping.
Tip: pick the version with a Dupont connector if you want plug-and-play compatibility with many 3D printer and CNC controllers. That option is available here: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c2QbmsH5.
Heads-up: you may see this product on obscure sites or from dropshippers at much higher prices. They buy it on AliExpress, add hefty markups, and often charge return fees. So don’t pay more than the AliExpress price — buy smart.
Another plus: AliExpress returns are often free, especially with EU logistics. That’s very different from many dropship stores advertised on Instagram or TikTok.
