Nema 17 Stepper motor mounts for Delta Printer

thingiverse

Building a popular delta 3d printer from some plans, and needed a better way to attach the steppers. People are using zip ties but I wanted something stronger and easily removable. I also had an issue with lateral play because of the nature of this build and the materials I used (MDF and metal rods.) By adding the four machine screws with the mounts I noticed a huge difference and any lateral racking and twisting was eliminated. Print faceplate down for best results. The Nema 17 Steppers use a M3 size, 8mm length(any longer and they will bottom out), and 5mm pitch Also used #10 machine screw for mounting to the printer
