Thanks for the responses guys!
The reason I am looking at NEMA 17s over 23s (I actually have some 23s from my old rapman) is because I am planning on concealing them in a corner joint with aluminum extrusions. I havent actually drawn my design up in CAD yet, but it would definitely make the joint larger.
Also, I am planning on going with a Bowden extruder and a printed guide on aluminum extrusion for a carriage. So I dont think it will be very heavy. However, I would like to have interchangeable tools so I can switch from an extruder to a laser to a Dremel. But I think that might be a future upgrade once I get it built...
