Maybe on my next buildđ. I want to keep this board as light as possible because i will use it as a daily commuter. It wont be facing bad roads.
Ok if so, ill change them .
Many members have had to deal with cutting the heads off stainless hardware in order to remove their motor. Itâs a PITA. Just giving you fair warning
This.
Please do. Try not to use anything other than 12.9 in any application that requires you to torque the screw down a fair bit (e.g. motor mount screws & motor screwsâŚ).
So. I changed my mind. I will design my custom mount and 3d print it. If everything fits as it should i will fabricate it from aluminum( dont know how to yet, probably with file saw and a drill ). Will post my design here so you can take a look and tell me if its ok.
Where are you located?
Why reinvent the wheel motor mount? Current ones have economies of scale working for them to keep the price low.
If price isnât an object, designing and fabricating a motor mount is an excellent learning opportunity (:
Why not? I like this attitude. Just suggest a backup mount plan if it ends up taking too long.
Slovenia
I have a whole winter infront of me so im realy not in a hurry.
I made my own motor mounts on my first diy board. It was a good learning experience. I was so proud of what I made. Now I just buy parts and put this together. Like you all I have was a drill and a few hand filers. Go build the mounts and if it failed and you get hurt itâs your own fault
Update: i found a good looking mount on thingiverse and printed it. Everything fits perfectly. What do you all think about it? Mount:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3401743/comments
I will add some pics tomorrow when i have time.
@b264 you got a link to the hardware used on the enertion mounts? Figured save him the question lol.
Those mounts are great. What filament and setting you using to print?
Dickyho makes decent and very affordable mounts.
So does boardnamics. https://boardnamics.com/product/caliber-ii-63mm-motor-mount/
I printed it just for test, the mount will be made from aluminium.
Just remember to use the right grade too (:
LoL we have a whole thread just for those bolts.
I have some bolts that work better than the orginal if someone is in dire need.
Which grade do you think will do well?
T6 6061 or T6 6082 aluminium.
Since you are from Slovenia i think finding 6082 will be easier for you.
