    I want to build a 3dof system, I will place the motors at an angle of 120 degrees, I can't find a motor with a worm gearbox, please help me. I have a nema 34 in mind, with a torque of 8.5 or 12. The first one is more budget-friendly, but the second one is a bit expensive. Please tell me which one is better to choose and what is the optimal gear ratio, thank you!
