I don't use it and figured I put some feelers out to you folks on the forum. If there is any interest, I'll post appropriate info.  |

Hey Tom, I'd be interested to hear the price you're asking Hello Ronin,
I'm not sure about selling now. I've been reading about motors and it seems like Nema 17 steppers should not be used on a belt-driven Z axis. They lack the torque needed to be effective long term.
I am considering building a bigger machine and using as much of the M3 parts as I can to maybe save a little money.

Tom, That sounds like a great idea! I've been pondering doing something similar.

In that case, are the Nema motors plug-n-play? Can I buy I Nema 23 and just swap it out with the 17, or is there more to it? |

I would have to do a bit of research, as I haven't done any in a while. I think you'd have to either change drivers or change the current. You'd do best by having a conversation with the provider you're planning on buying from. Note that the NEMA ## designations are not model numbers btw.
