A goal of mine was to learn the principles of motors and the way they operate. No better way to do this than by making an actual motor. I chose to create a stepper motor due to the following:
Precise Open Loop Control of step angles
Consists of both a Rotor and Stators
Can be driven with a Unipolar or Bipolar configuration of H-bridges
With the knowledge gained through research and trial and error, I was successfully able to develop an operating stepper motor.

The rotor housing that would hold all the coils and a stator housing to hold all the magnets were designed in CAD to be 3D printed.
Design considerations prioritized achieving a lightweight housing, minimizing material and print times, and tolerances for tight fitting parts.
