TL-Smoother V1.0 Addon Module for 3D Printer Motor Drivers
TL-Smoother V1.0 Addon Module for 3D Printer Motor Drivers
Upgrade your 3D printer's performance with the TL-Smoother V1.0 Addon Module — a compact filter and debounce board designed to smooth out motor driver signals for cleaner, more consistent print results. Whether you're running a delta-style printer or a parallel-structure machine, this module helps eliminate irregular signal waves at low speeds, resulting in noticeably improved print quality.
Why Use a TL-Smoother?
Motor drivers — especially popular stepper drivers like the DRV8825 — can produce uneven voltage waveforms, particularly at low speeds or with low-resistance motors. The TL-Smoother addon module works as a signal filter and voltage regulator, smoothing out these inconsistencies so your stepper motors move more uniformly. The result? Reduced surface artifacts, cleaner layer lines, and more precise prints.
Key Features
- Signal Smoothing: Effectively filters uneven waveforms at low motor speeds for cleaner, more consistent motion

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the TL-Smoother V1.0 module do for my 3D printer?
A: The TL-Smoother V1.0 is a signal filter and voltage regulator addon module that smooths out the waveforms produced by stepper motor drivers. It reduces irregularities in motor signals — especially at low speeds — helping to minimize surface artifacts and improve overall print quality on your 3D printer.
Q: Which 3D printer setups benefit most from the TL-Smoother addon module?
A: The TL-Smoother V1.0 delivers the most noticeable improvement on 3D printers using DRV8825 stepper motor drivers, particularly those running on 24V power in a delta (parallel structure) configuration. It is also effective on printers using low-resistance motors that are prone to uneven motor movement at low speeds.
Q: Is the TL-Smoother V1.0 easy to install on a 3D printer?
A: Yes. The TL-Smoother is designed as an inline addon module that connects between your stepper motor driver and the stepper motor. Installation is straightforward for most users familiar with basic 3D printer electronics. No soldering is typically required, though setup details may vary by printer model.
Q: Will the TL-Smoother work with my A4988 driver?
A: The TL-Smoother V1.0 is compatible with A4988 and other common stepper motor drivers in addition to the DRV8825. However, the improvement is most pronounced with DRV8825 drivers. Results will vary depending on your specific hardware configuration.
