Motor firewall reinforcement for Skywalker 1900/1800/1600 (2016)

thingiverse

This is a motor mount reinforcement I've designed that can be used to anyone who bought the Smallpartscnc ajustable motor mount for Skywalkers so it can be used with bigger props.http://smallpartscnc.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=145 The problem in using this is that due to the higher position than expected when the motor pushes, it produces a rotational force like a lever in the original wooden motor mount by pulling the screws there, instead of pushing them like it was designed to. With this part not only the entire motormount is reinforced, but the resulting force vectors applied by the motor will be the same, without any rotation. This plastic part will only work in the ajustable part is placed in the manner shown in the pictures, because it was the position it served me personally to use a 12" propeller. Feel free to modify it if you need to use bigger props. The used screws are M3. The screws in the picture are for illustration purposes only. Use the appropriated M3 screw lenght for your case. UPDATE: There are 2 more versions for you to pick, changing only that there's now a hole for a shaft, in case your motor needs one, and different anchors, just pick your preference. If you need something in specific to be changed, just make a comment and explain, and most probably I'll add the new feature. Update 2: I've found the mount with 6 rods to be the best option. I've added also 2 objects to be used firstly as a guide by marking initially the rods in the foam, and the second to perforate it all the way to the exact depth of the real motor mount.
