Ender 6 stepper motor replacement bracket

thingiverse

Experimental bracket to be able to use regular 42-48 nema17 stepper motors on the Ender 6. The factory one has a way too long shaft and it broke, could not buy a replacement anywhere so I got a regular one, a pulley and made this bracket. Prototype printed in PETG which is fine as long as you don't fully enclose your printer. I have it enclosed so I printed it using high temp resistant resin (SirayaTech Sculpt). Requirements: - The original screws that attach the bracket to the stepper motors. You'll only have three that fit, it works fine. - 4x M4x10 bolts - 4x M4 T-nuts (for 2020 profiles) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33014140496.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.77d51832HaPzd0&algo_pvid=null&algo_expid=null&btsid=2100bddf16198063383441276ec759&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ - 42-48 stepper motor I got mine at a local 3D printer store but I am sure any 48mm nema17 stepper would work. - GT2 pulley for a 9mm belt - 20 teeth - 5mm axis https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32949900849.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.40c779b9ljdcJ2&algo_pvid=null&algo_expid=null&btsid=2100bdd016198061986654364e25de&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ Bore: 5mm / Width: 10mm Tested this on my printer only. You will obviously lose the out-of-the-box belt tensioner. My belts are fine but I can't guarantee yours will be. You can play around with the other end of the belt to tighten it a little.
