    i created a new cable attachment part that would attach to the extruder and secured to the stepper motor.
    Cant find any bolts that would match the size so gotta order online.
    Anyone knows what kind of bolts used to keep the stepper motor attached to extruder ?

    Nema17 stepper motors use M3 sized machine screws.

    Metric threads don't really designate pitch because 99% of the time they use coarse thread.

    Yea, that will work. It is likely a high temp RTV of some sort anyway.
