There’s a moment in every hardware journey where ideas turn into reality.
For NorthForge3D, that moment is happening right now.

Today, we placed our first official component order for The Deuce — and it wasn’t just any order.
It was for a set of custom 0.9° ultra-precision stepper motors, built exactly to our
specifications and paired with fine-lead screws designed for exceptionally smooth motion.
These components will form the core of our motion system, and in many ways, they represent
the heartbeat of the machine we’re building.

It may seem like a small step from the outside. But inside the forge, this is the spark that
ignites everything that follows.

For years, FDM printing has lived with a ceiling — a limit on how clean the surface finish
could be, no matter how well a machine was tuned. The idea of “resin-like” quality on an FDM
printer has been more joke than reality. But as of today, that boundary starts to move.

We aren’t following the industry. We’re stepping outside it. By sourcing motors designed
specifically for this project — motors that don’t exist off the shelf — we’re setting the
foundation for something different. Something sharper. Something smoother. Something worthy
of the next generation of high-end 3D printing.

These components are more than parts. They’re a commitment.

A commitment to precision where it matters most.
A commitment to build a machine that doesn’t hide behind filters, firmware tricks, or buzzwords.
A commitment to create a printer that feels engineered, not assembled.

As the shipment makes its way across the world toward our workshop in Western Canada,
the fires of creativity are burning brightly. There’s a certain excitement in knowing that
each piece we source brings us closer to the machine we’ve envisioned — and closer to
sharing it with the world.

This is just the beginning, but it’s a meaningful one.

The forge is lit.
The Deuce is coming.
And what comes next will redefine what’s possible from an FDM 3D printer.

Stay with us as the journey continues — and watch these early sparks turn into something extraordinary.
