0x23/MicroManipulatorStepper
A sub-micrometer 3D motion control plattform.
An open source, low-cost motorized XYZ micro-manipulator achieving sub-micron motion precision. It uses a parallel kinematic design with off-the-shelf steppers, magnetic gearing to boost encoder resolution down to ~50nm steps, and is controlled via G-Code over USB serial, with a full motion-planning firmware stack. Intended for optical alignment, electronics probing, and microscopy.
Why now: A new hardware version 4.0 was released fixing ball joint, homing, and build-consistency issues, and it was featured on Hacker News.
Who it is for: Hobbyists, labs, and engineers needing affordable precision motion control for microscopy, alignment, or probing tasks.
