The shaft of my Y-axis motor is bent and I need to buy a new one. Where can I purchase one? Sovol only lists one stepper motor on their website but it says it’s for the SV01/SV03, is that the same motor used on the SV06? [https://sovol3d.com/products/42-40-stepper-motor-for-3d-printer](https://sovol3d.com/products/42-40-stepper-motor-for-3d-printer) I tried a stepper motor from Amazon and switced the connector pinout to match the motor coils but still had issues. ---

Subbed for data. I need a pair of Z’s 1 has some axial play. I am not suprised you have an issue, first on the 6, then the Plus, I have pulled the Y bracket, and redrilled it to move the motor 6ishmm closer to the load path (belt). 4 some reason they have consistently placed the huge bending load, at the very tip of the motor shaft. achieving maximum bed deviation, and minimum motor bearing life, all at one go. ---
