Nema 17 Stepper motor mounts for Delta Printer

thingiverse

Assembling a widely-used delta 3D printer from available plans required a more secure attachment method for the steppers. Relying on zip ties was not sufficient, so I sought a stronger and easily removable solution. Additionally, the build's lateral movement was compromised due to the materials used - MDF and metal rods - which introduced unwanted play. To rectify this issue, I incorporated four machine screws with custom mounts, achieving a notable reduction in lateral racking and twisting. For optimal results, mount the print faceplate downwards. The Nema 17 Steppers employ an M3 size, an 8mm length (any longer would cause bottoming out), and a 5mm pitch.
