UltiMaker Z Motor L280 (S3, 2+C) 80-215582

High-precision Z-axis motor assembly for UltiMaker S3 and 2+ Connect

The Z motor is the precision actuator responsible for the vertical movement of the build platform. This industrial-grade stepper motor is equipped with an integrated 280 mm trapezoidal lead screw (spindle), which translates the motor's rotation into the incremental vertical steps that define your print's layer height. Because the lead screw is part of the motor shaft itself, it eliminates the need for separate couplers, significantly reducing "Z-wobble" and ensuring superior layer registration and surface quality.

If your build plate is stuttering, making a grinding noise, or showing inconsistent layer heights, the Z motor or its integrated lead screw may be worn or damaged. This complete assembly restores the smooth, silent, and highly repeatable vertical motion required for professional-grade 3D printing.

What is in the kit?

• Z-axis stepper motor: A high-torque motor with an integrated 280 mm trapezoidal spindle.
• Spindle nut: A precision-machined nut that mounts to the build plate carrier, ensuring smooth travel along the lead screw.
• 160 mm Motor cable: The dedicated wiring loom required to connect the motor to the printer's mainboard.

Compatibility:

This motor assembly is designed for the following medium-format models:

• UltiMaker S3
• UltiMaker 2+ Connect
