Profile pane motor mount

Profile Plane motor mount

This was designed for use as the motor mount in home built foam board profile planes, I use this in an Extra 330 shock flyer that is extremely over powered.
This motor mount allows for maximum strength and minimal weight.
By having the mount in 3 parts and glued together at installation I was able to have the layers print in the optimal directions.
All 3d prints have a “grain” to them where they are extremely strong in the the X and Y axis but relatively weak in the Z axis.
This design is glued with CA (or epoxy, gorilla glue) glue then screwed together with 1.5 or 2 mm screws, 3 down the length and at least 6 on the face, once the glue has set the screws are removed.
The the mount is glued between the foam layers (I generally use 2 layers) & clamped.
The motor can be installed and “clocked” as needed the mount can also be lengthened or shortened for a specific plane.

Print settings: 0.35mm nozzle, 0.2mm layers, 100% infill
