Aug 25, 2016 at 16:42 comment added spicetraders 5 min limit edits What I was trying to say is the large circle the chassis or the stepper. If it is the stepper then why no rotation, if it is the chassis then I understand the shaft is stuck to top of chassis and only option is a different smaller stepper.

Aug 25, 2016 at 15:21 comment added spicetraders As you state most are square with four point mounting shaft in center. Not knowing how the offset shaft motor is mounted can only expect it is four point or two point or clamp. But should be able to unbolt from the mounting plate and rotate the whole motor on the shaft axis.
Aug 25, 2016 at 9:28 comment added darth pixel according to my experience the most of stepper motors (especially those used in cheap or home made) in 3D printers have rectangular shape and the shaft in in the center (precisely). As an exception I can pint geared stepper motors but I suppose it's not the issue here. So What do you mean by "rotation would move it to the center"?
