Description
1. Print with 0.4 mm nozzle (Tried 0.8 but didn't work very well for this model). Can print vertically with a brim for holding down. Support isn't really needed when printed vertically.
2. Screw onto the back of a Nema 17 Stepper Motor
3. Pop in this RJ45 Breakout Board:

Might need rubber mallet or equivalent thwacker for a bit of convincing!
4. Solder wires from stepper and possibly end stops. I still need to do this but I am pretty sure it will work cause I have seen plenty of people using RJ45 for steppers.
5. Use another breakout board near your actual control board (will probably make another print for that in the nearish future).
6. Enjoy being able to use ethernet cables for your stepper motors :).
