	*"Here is a design for a low-profile (18mm) stackable gearbox that fits onto a standard NEMA 17 stepper motor. The gearing ratio of 4:1 allows for increased torque and positional accuracy from the motor. Herringbone gears are used to provide smooth power transmission from the stepper motor while eliminating the need for thrust bearings. A flat rotating output platform is also provided to allow for easy mounting of attachments. More details along with a step-by-step guide to designing gears for 3D printing in Autodesk Inventor is provided below."		*"Here is a design for a low-profile (18mm) stackable gearbox that fits onto a standard NEMA 17 stepper motor.

			*Modification:
			:*add bearings to planet gears
			:*add a cover with bearing. Planet gears serve as second bearing support point, but a double bearing in cover would release pressure from plastic gears. Because of short profile, we can add double bearing in cover to get lifetime >>1000 hours for extruder geardown applications
			:*Use hobbed bolt as the integrated shaft
