<p>1. Print with 0.4 mm nozzle (Tried 0.8 but didn't work very well for this model).  Can print vertically with a brim for holding down. Support isn't really needed when printed vertically.</p><p>2. Screw onto the back of a Nema 17 Stepper Motor</p><p>3. Pop in this RJ45 Breakout Board:</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08XB8G52H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08XB8G52H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1</a></p><p>Might need rubber mallet or equivalent thwacker for a bit of convincing!</p><p>4. Solder wires from stepper and possibly end stops.  I still need to do this but I am pretty sure it will work cause I have seen plenty of people using RJ45 for steppers.</p><p>5. Use another breakout board near your actual control board (will probably make another print for that in the nearish future).</p><p>6. Enjoy being able to use ethernet cables for your stepper motors :).</p>
