I think I'd center the stud on y=0.

That would work, too.  But black doesn't work.

The Technic micro-motor is all one file.  Which is fine -- isn't its shaft
circular?

The Technic Electric 9V Motor (2937A.dat) is done in three subfiles -- the
base, the top and the shaft.  The shaft looks (on casual viewing) like it's
the same as the mini-motor shaft/base.  That would make things somewhat easier
for you...
