ArduCopter Y6 Hexacopter Motor Mount

thingiverse

Quick and dirty mod for my ArduCopter Hexacopter. This is a prototype Y6 motor mount derived from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11604 This is basically a dual motor mount with extra thick mount platforms. The Turnigy motors that I use have a very long shaft that quite simply need clearance. The extra thickness accounts for the added shaft length. Make use of the adapter plate X mounting hardware by using it to secure the motor to the mount. You should notice that the hole pattern was rotated 45 degrees to accommodate mounting motors on both sides. The original screw channels were removed as they were not necessary. Instructions As the original author said: "Print them out. Slide them onto the end of the arms until the outer hole lines up with the existing hole, I warmed mine up a bit with a heat gun to make them go on easier (they are a tight fit). Drill another hole through the other hole in the motor mount. You may want to drill it from one side and then the other rather than all the way through so you don't miss the hole on the other side. Secure the motor with 2 long screws and 2 short screws." Be sure to center the item and place on platform before printing in ReplicatorG
