Laying carbon fiber sandwich over TPU 98A printed parts!

Note for future me : tiny 90Ā° straight bridges are fucking useless when working carbon fiber!

Donā€™t be. The amount of work I put into this shit is obscene. Just buy from @eBoosted or @BigBen and be happy that you never have to worry about the woes of making your own enclosures.

Just checked. Is 270. Has to be the high temperature one. A good way to tight those long bolts and keep the correct alignment, is to install the motor with the long bolts totally loose. You slide the motor on the truck without the collar bolts. The you start screw the front big black nut on order to give the right compression to the motor can. You stop when the motor is fully seated and there is no later play, but the drag while spinning the motor by end is still smooth. From here you have the right compression and just apply green loctite on the long bolts and screw them in on a star fashion way. Let it dry one day.

Cool thanks for the info. Just got the 270 ordered. Looks like I bent my backplate pretty bad. Luckily I have the spares from my old drives
