What each maker states

• Gearbox length Lg: the makers differ (Pololu 12.5 mm, TT Motor 12.0 mm). The model uses the largest stated, 12.5 mm, so a mount or enclosure made to it clears every maker's motor.
• Front boss height h: the makers differ (Pololu 0.7 mm, TT Motor 0.8 mm). The model uses the largest stated, 0.8 mm, so a mount or enclosure made to it clears every maker's motor.
• This size's can is 15 mm. Motraxx's 15.1 mm can is drawn on its 9 mm box only, so the 12.5 mm box's can is 15 mm, though the motor behind both boxes is the same. Left at the defaults of the open decision (#1372); check your own motor's can if it matters.
