If any of you are using the Morris/Okie printed motor mounts, Please check them periodically. I just had one that literally got bent out of shape by vibration. I suspect that the motor got hot enough to soften the mount then the vibration stretched the holes. Luckily I caught it. These little motors put out a tremendous amount of torque and "they will bite you" if allowed to become loose. I fixed it by adding a plywood cap. If I use one of these again on a full body it will have reinforcement.

Get one that is cursive not printed.

LL~ I understand the Chinese are making them using calligraphy but they are not reinforced and have a 24mm hole pattern.

I reversed engineered (well had my son the CAD guy) the Okie Air mount. I did away with the entire center section and put in slots for the aluminum mount that comes with the motor. I think this allows for better cooling and the aluminum will dissipate the heat better and will not distort.

I am having a hard time picturing that but I think it is a good idea. Do you have a picture?

Sure
Let’s see if I can attach a few.

I love it. Is that the 28xx or 35xx mounting plate?

That’s a 28x. But I scale it in the slicer program to fit what ever spinner.
