Title: E motor mount - file for 3D printer
Post by: Dennis Toth on April 08, 2022, 03:37:19 PM
Does anyone have a 3D file for an electric motor mount? Seems it might be something like selling plans for a stunt ship. Many may have access to a 3D printer and would need the file and design details (like material to be used in the printer). Anything out there?

Best,    DennisT

I've designed a bunch, and would be printing them if I hadn't stripped the filament feed gear on my printer. I've got a couple of new ones on order, so there is that.
What kind of mount are you looking for?

I'm looking at both a 23 and 28 size motor cans for mounting on 1/2" mounts. I have a friend that could 3D print it locally and save time and shipping.

I'd definitely by several if they were available.

To have them professionally printed in a material that I trust, like I did my own, they run about $20-25 each. I would need to price them again. That is for a mount that would go in .35-.46 size plane (a Magician and a Tutor II, in my case). Smaller motor, smaller mount, cheaper overall.
For a 1/2A size, I priced one out to less than $5 each, and would mount just like a plastic Baby Bee mount that Sig and Brodak make.
To simply have them printed in ABS filament, the price goes down. Again, I would need to check on it. Hopefully in about a week or so I'll have my printer back up and running and I can print them myself. For a simple trainer, or combat plane, realistically PLA filament would likely be strong enough. ABS filament would be better, but cost a touch more.
