Designed for precision and ease of use, this driver module enhances your 3D printing experience while reducing heat output. ## Description Specifications: Interface: Step/Dir Configuration: CFG Pins or UART Native Microsteps: up to 1/256 MicroPlyer Microsteps: 1/256 Logic Voltage (VIO): 3-5V Motor Voltage (VM): 4.75-36V Motor Phase Current max: 1.2A RMS, 2.0A Peak. Therefore, the reference voltage of the driver module should not exceed 1V. At the same time, the driver module must be dissipated, otherwise it will affect the life of the driver module. Note: TMC2208 driver needs extra fan to cool it, otherwise the high temperature may destroy it. Do not connect the motor when measuring the voltage, otherwise it is easy to burn the driver. Power should be connected when measuring voltage, do not just connect USB power supply. Package Includes: 2 X TMC2208 Driver 2 X Heat Sink 1 X Screwdriver ## Features - TMC2208 is an ultra-quiet two-phase stepper motor drive chip, continuous drive current 1.4A, peak current 2A, voltage range 4.75V-36V, 256 subdivision. - The flexible microPlyer interpolation unit provides up to 256 subdivisions, allowing perfect sinusoidal control even in systems with limited pulse frequencies; these are also designed because stealthChop2 ultra-quiet technology is widely used in 3D printing. - Compatible with existing 3D printer electronics, eliminating the expensive costs of redesign. It can replace the original TMC2100 A4988 DRV8825 LV8729, lower heat, especially for 3D printing market. - With this adapter you can test your SilentStepStick or flash the TMC2208 SilentStepStick with an USB-to-serial converter. - The adapter comes with stackable headers, so you can use it direct on your 3D printer board. The tester is pre-configured for standalone operation on an USB to serial adapter (VIO-VM jumper closed). ## Product Details - **Color:** blue - **Brand:** DORHEA - **Voltage:** 36 Volts (DC) - **Material:** Plastic - **Operating Temperature:** 50 Degrees Celsius ## Images ![2PCS TMC2208 V1.2 3D Printer Stepper Motor Driver, Upgrade TMC2208 Stepper Driver Module with Heat Sink Screwdriver for 3D Printer Controller Mother Boards Reprap MKS Prusa i3 Ender-3 Pro - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51FtRCjjGWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome *by A***R on July 3, 2025* Absolutely the best thing I did for my Anycubic i3 mega s printer. They work great and holy moly is it quiet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazingly Quiet! *by R***N on January 6, 2023* I upgraded my DIY motorized blinds from DRV8825 to the TMC2208 and I am amazed at how much quieter these are than the DRV's. I mean, it is night and day. And they are almost 100% pin compatible. There is no sleep or reset pin on these but the step, direction, enable, microstep, motor,and voltage pins are all the same. One limitation though, the only way to go into full-step mode is to use them in UART, which I didn't want to go to the trouble to do so I am running them in half-step mode and they are still just as quiet. Just apply your VCC to the MS1 pin to get the 1/2 step setup.Also, they probably wouldn't have been a problem but it appeared to me that the solder joints on the top of the pins got too close to the heatsink for my comfort. So I trimmed them with my micro-cutters before applying the heat-sink to give extra clearance, just in case. And you will need the heatsinks. These do get much hotter than the DRV's. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these drivers! *by T***. on November 6, 2020* Awesome upgrade! Was running Arduino/RAMPS1.4 with A4988s. Had unrelated issues but decided to change the drivers for TMC2208s. They were a drop in replacement (I use them in legacy mode) and are just fantastic! The noise level is just about zero. The only sound I hear when I print is the retraction and a bit of motor "grind" when the printer homes at the start of a print job. Can easily forget it is on! It is really THAT much quieter!.Note on setting the driver vref, I tried it the way the doc says and was not making any progress. Instead I followed the instructions on a youtube video and it worked great. Connect your volt-meter ground to the board wired ground to the power supply. Connect your positive probe to a small metal screw driver using an alligator clip. Watch the volt-meter readout as you turn the screw driver. Easy. Get the correct sized screw driver and verify it with the board powered off. Practice getting the screw driver onto the "pot" without touching anything else. Then power all. Connect volt-meter and adjust pots. I started with about 0.95 per and had to adjust from there over a few hours of practice prints. You don't mind if the stepper motors get warm but they should not be too hot to hold on to. If you go too low you will get skips so warm motor is OK.
