That's right mate, I make this stuff up as I go along. I even found and translated a random Japanese web site showing stepper motors with plastic gears from a random manufacturer. Give me a break. Mine is a Temma 2 Jr, with a crook gearbox motor, I looked it up, others may be different, who knows. I was warned not to post that info, stupid me.
