I really don't know about arduino other than the youtube tutorials and I would like you to explain a little about the subject. I have 12 and 24v motors for laser printers and photocopiers. help :c
Sure, but you need the accommodate for those motor differences in the power supplies, drivers and calibration of the axes.

You will have to find technical details on each of the motors otherwise you cannot properly size and or drive them. Such things as current, voltage, etc. Links to technical information on them would be a big help.
Now I have these and I don't know what to do or which ones to use.
24v model pm35s-048 (of these I have 3) and one pm42l-048 of the same manufacturer
16v the model is kh42jmb140e (of these I have 2)
vexta a3700 and another 072066step (5 phases I don't know how to use these)
and one mitsumi m55sp-2nk
THANK YOU A LOT FOR YOUR HELP.
My old school surplus CNC machine used 5-phase stepper motors because they provide smoother stepping than the steppers used by Arduino projects. I know of no controllers for them, so they are no use.
and the others if they are useful to me?
Only if you have a project they can be used in. How will your 3d printer use your stepper motors? You surely have a design in mind.
the traditional model I would say and the Z-axis with the 2 parallel motors at the top
Can the motors you have be mounted that way and can your motors run belts like that one? Do you have access to the individual pieces for that type of machine?
I think it is possible, I am not a genius on the subject that is why I ask for advice and guidance or do you think it would be better to use a delta type?
If you want a printer this year or next year, just buy one.

yes I could buy it but this is a personal project.
I will be direct: from the questions you have asked, I think the project you have given yourself may be unrealistic.
I think you may be underestimating the difficulty of what you want to achieve.
I am guiding by ToyRap or something like th
There is a lot of hardware shown here; much more than collection of stepper motors you have assembled. Have you considered what other supplies you will need?
I suspect that you could end up spending more on parts, than it would cost to buy a pre-built 3D printer.
If you are fixed on the idea of building your own, it might be wise to find and follow a well written guide, with good instructions and an exact list of parts.
I would say that there is arguably no value in continuing with the salvaged steppers for this project; they are liable to cost you more in mistakes than they will save you in parts.

I don't know if there is anything to offer that you haven't already found in a tutorial.
These resources may or may not be of some use to you:
-
The datasheet for pm35s-048 is good information to have on hand.
-
Datasheet for SN754410, a "Quadruple Half-H Driver", suggested by the tutorial above.
-
Marlin, a commonly used firmware for 3D printers.

I understand and appreciate the sincerity right now I have everything I need for a homemade 1 arduino the ramps and its drivers, the power supply and the material for structure for the moment and knowing that they are small engines planned to make a small and then make a larger format and my question if it is. if anything I serve these engines even if small
You are the one with the small unknown engines, so try it!
thank you I will be uploading my progress

Verify the motors' amperage and torque, and everything seems fine, but they have different voltages. I was given this information, and I would like to know if it's correct:
-Connecting the power cables from the PC power supply to the drivers:
-For the 24V motors (extruder and Z-axis): Connect the red cable (+) from the PC power supply to the "VMOT" pin of the driver corresponding to the 24V motor. Connect the black cable (-) from the PC power supply to the "GND" pin of the driver.
-For the 16V motors (X and Y axes): Connect the red cable (+) from the PC power supply to the "VMOT" pin of the driver corresponding to the 16V motor. Connect the black cable (-) from the PC power supply to the "GND" pin of the driver.
And, also, connect the power cables to the Ramps, is it correct??
