Do you have part numbers for the motors you used?
The RoStock web site references NEMA 17 stepper motors which doesn't
actually include any useful specifications

The OpenBeam extrusions actually look line modified 80/20  or
Rexroth structural frame material. Is there special framing just for 3D
printers?
