Is the motor controlled with ODrive , or just standard "dumb" dc?
Also old treadmill motors etc are supposedly a good source as well for large motors (not BLDC, but assuming brushes are in good shape, and motor is free/cheap)

Trying to find a "standard" motor thats easily available and somewhat close to the stepper motor sized options

The circularknitic guys have been using these Polulu shaft mounting flanges, but theyre kinda unique so i wonder if how hard they might be to source for some people https://www.pololu.com/category/137/pololu-universal-mounting-hubs --Dorkmo (talk) 16:50, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
Are those the "Industy Standard" brand for things like this and couplings
Also outside of the Universal Rotor are we using any standard connector?

- it seems like most common steppers have a 5mm shaft, but that mounting flange with 4 holes is kinda weird, but still useful.
- On larger motors there are alot of stand sized motors and shafts. https://www.surpluscenter.com/images/techhelp/nema2.pdf Then also there are a lot of standard bushing sizes for those but i dont see much for smaller stuff like 5mm. --Dorkmo (talk) 19:02, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
