Yes, Thats a BTS7960 board. I tried it out tonight, ran the motor at
about half speed for about half an hour. No detectable heating of the
motor or the device. Running on
In a program or even from the MDI. I use the capability to do probing.

Yes, this is in line with my suggestions to design based on the materials
you are using. Countersinks have more bearing surface and are stronger in
plastic than counterbores but MORE IMPORTENTLY a countersink can be printed
upside down (or any orientations) with no need for a support structure.

I haven't used PETG, but I'd print that part with 5 outer layers (looks
like you're using 12-15) and 20% infill (50% maximum). It'll print
faster and it'll probably be stronger in many respects. An FDM printer
lays down strands of hot plastic that squish into each other. If a part
is printed as

You can not print over the top of air. If there is an overhang you need
to enable "support" in Cura. If you do then Cura will print some removable
structure under the overhang.
Most people when they design parts try to design them so they can be
printed without supports by avoiding overhangs bu

Not true. Vectorizers do that, convert from non vector formats (bitmaps) or
