How would I wire up and control a 40mm stepper motor?

I'm modding my Ender 3 3D printer and need to drive a 40mm stepper motor. I found this shield that appears to be compatible with it.

Would I need to supply voltage externally? My plan is to pull 12V from the printer's PSU to power the Arduino board if I can find a tap. Otherwise I can get a wall-wart for that.

you follow the shield's instructions or datasheet for wiring it up. if you can't find any, buy a different one, or from a supplier that gives you the instructions.
