Can I use another kind of motor on prusa 3d model?

It has to be 4 wired motor or is it possible to use 5, 3 or 2 wired motors?

Here is to expensive to find NEMA 17 stepper motors.

short answer is NO im afraid you cant use any of the motors you mentioned in your second post.
the 2 wire is a dc motor with a gearbox = no accurate position control
the 3 wire you showed are brushless 3 phase motors that are voltage regulated
the 5 wire is a geared stepper motor for low torque low speed appilcations

You can get a set of 5 nemas from ebay for 45US$ ( CHina HK)
