    Hi,
    The stepper motor of heat bed stops working for 2nd time. Now I decide to change it with a stronger stepper motor. Please help me to select a compatible one.

    In my experience it has been the steppers that go bad before the motor.

    If you really want a stronger motor the bolt hole configuration is a NEMA17. Anything off Amazon or any other source that is the same size will be a direct swap. I think the stock motors are around 40in-oz so just look for something with more power. If it has a gear box on it you will have to reconfigure your steps per mm in the firmware.
