Awesome! Important to note that I used smaller steppers that the most common size. I have a link in the GitHub docs to the steppers I used. If you’re up for a mechanical design project you could modify the design for your size of steppers. I think it could benefit from a little more torque on the Y axis TBH. But maybe I can increase the drive current in software without issue, I’ve not tested the limits of that. Anyway it would be useful to try larger steppers as I’m fighting an issue of Y axis sticking occasionally which is very annoying. And I bet a lot of people would appreciate the design work. I’m pretty busy in life but I could try to provide a little help if you get stuck. Just open a GitHub issue and we can connect more directly as needed. I hope you do give it a shot one way or another! The motors I used are cheap on eBay if you want to go that route. I harvested mine from a cheap mini delta printer I wasn’t using.
