NEMA17 mount

thingiverse

This is a custom parametric stepper mount inspired by metalic mounts for NEMA17 stepper motors. I used it to create a mock-up of a Prusa i3 type printer using 2040 extrusion profiles while waiting for the actual stepper motor mount to arrive. The photos show an earlier design without corner cut-offs, but be aware that this was not the final version. If you plan to use this for a real-world application, make sure to print it with a high-temperature resistant filament such as ABS or a specialty co-polyester since steppers tend to run hot. Additionally, consider enlarging the triangular corner stiffeners to increase the mount's rigidity.
