TMC2208 stepper motor drivers are a popular choice for reducing the stepper motor noise on 3D printers and laser cutters, particularly because they are able to easily replace the A4988 drivers which are commonly used. I wanted to test them out against the A4988 drivers to see how much quieter they actually are. The results were quite surprising! Here's a link to the write up of the test - https://www.the-diy-life.com/tmc2208-vs-a4988-stepper-motor-driver-sound-level-comparison/ Buy TMC2208 (5 Pack) – https://amzn.to/3j78RMR Buy A4988 (5 Pack) - https://amzn.to/3o0sABv If you've got any project, tutorial, or review ideas, let me know in the comments section.
