Electric Longboard Motor Mount

thingiverse

************* This is the old version. Check out https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2457930 for updates on the motor mount and case. It is still in progress but should be done soon with explanations, instructions, and the results of testing the actual longboard. ************ This is a remix of Matt Carl's electric longboard motor mount. I couldn't get his motor mount to fit on my trucks so I bought a pair of trucks for which I could find a cad file online. The design may seem really simplistic since I ripped part of the design from Matt and did the rest in Microsoft 3D builder; but maybe that's a good thing- KISS. It is designed to fit on Cal ll 50°Caliber Trucks (but should fit on other Caliber trucks as well). I'm using it to mount an OM-6085 200kv motor (from ollinboardcompany.com). I'm using high strength aluminum shafts and shaft collars (from vexrobotics.com) which I had lying around my house. I also plan to print either in polyalchemy elixir pla or polycarbonate. Note: There is a slight bug. The holes for the shafts are covered by a super thin layer which was not supposed to be there. I doubt it would cause any problems in real life because it would be easy to poke through. I haven't had the chance to print this and test it yet. I will update once I do (which should be soon). I also foresee a future update with the motor holder rotated downward slightly to give more clearance (as the trucks should really be the only limiting factor in that department). *****UPDATE****** I just got the Caliber trucks in the mail. My 3d printed parts fit it well. That's not the problem. The problem is that I'm using a wheel pulley from amazon which doesn't fit on these trucks (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y1RZW7T/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). As a result, I will not be working anymore on a mount for the Caliber trucks. I don't know the name of my trucks I'll be making the mount for. They are the trucks which came on The Fury from whitewavelongboards. Right now the parts for it are listed as OT (for Original Trucks). I'll make it into a new thing once I've tested it. The OT parts have the motor holder rotated lower so that it is beneath the truck. I hope to have a working electric longboard in the next month. Once I get it all working together I'll post my whole board as a thing (and I may make a tutorial).
