Upgraded from a NEMA24 to a NEMA34.

Before going out and milling or buying it in metal it is always a good idea to testprint it.

Probably will use the plastic part for a while as 3mm wall-thickness PETG seems might already be good enough.

    For us beginners in 3d printing.

    What do the numbers in nema moters actually mean.

    I recognise they go up in size/power. But being from the UK. And Nema being a US standard. I’d love a guide.

      The number is the width/height of the mounting face in inches. So Nena 17 is 1.7inx1.7in on the mounting face, nema 23 is 2.3inx2.3in etc. though looking at datasheet for different nema sized mount that seems like an approximate not dead on number.
