Nema 17 Extruder Using M6 Hobbed Bolt... Does it exist?

Hi All,

I have on hand pretty much all the pieces for a RepRap Pro style M6 Hobbed Bolt Nema 14 extruder...

Trick is, I have Nema 17 motors in excess and no Nema 14 motors handy.

I have not been able to find any Nema 17 pwered extruders which use a an M6 Hobbed Bolt and 626 Bearings.

Does such a design exist for download anywhere?

I used a hobbed 8 mm bolt on a Nema 17 motor in my direct drive extruder design: [www.thingiverse.com]. It would be almost impossible to hob a 6 mm bolt and drill a 5 mm hole to fit over the motor shaft.
