You are buying an NEMA23 motor mount when you have a full machine shop in the garage? I found that motor mounts don't need to be so strong, The reaction force from a 3NM motor is at most only 3NM. The M5 size screws used to hold the motor to the mount ar over-kill. I'll post the files when I can show a video of it working but I've just finished a 3D printed CNC conversion of a Harbor Freight Mini Mill. I've got a design that is pretty much just a screwdriver assembly, zero machine work. But all wait until I can post a video of at least the 3 axis jogging. Plastic is more than strong and rigid enough to fill the space between a motor and the mill. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
