While having some control issues with the mill, I decided to replace the stepper motors with something newer and more powerful. I 3D printed end caps that fit over the ends of the motors and secure a connector so the motors are fully modular. I haven't yet tested the full torque capability of the motors, but I'm pleased with the result. A little silicone holds everything together and seals out liquids.

I ended up using NEMA 42's. The performance was about the same as the original motors.
