For my Creality Ender 5 Plus, I want to  make a Quad-Z setup. So I ordered some Z-Axis stepper motor mounting plates which turned out to have the motor about 5mm too far away from the frame. Since these plates are hard to find aside from AliExpress, and I didn't want to wait 4 weeks for them, I decided to design the plate myself using the incorrect plates as a starting point.

I added a little ridge to add rigidity. I printed the one in the pictures on my Creality Ender 5 Plus with a 0.4mm nozzle with:

  • Jupiter PLA (123-3D.nl)
  • 0.2 mm line height 
  • 50% infill 
  • 10mm brim

To mount them you will need:

  • 4x M3x6 to mount the stepper motor to the plate
  • 4x M4x8 (+ optional washer rings)
  • 4x M4 T-nut
