Hey Chris,

A lot. (of steppers with the same footprint are available on the market). The footprint is [NEMA 23](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor#NEMA_stepper_motors).

Do you think they should?

> As for the performance of the stock stepper, I don’t think the Onefinity CNC manufacturer would have released the [80 mm mount](https://www.onefinitycnc.com/product-page/80mm-spindle-mount) without thoroughly testing the machine with a 80 mm spindle, there was too much demand for it to deceive buyers with a underdimensioned stepper. They stated repeatedly that they see no reason for a stronger Z stepper.
