Bix3 Motor Mount

cults3d

Motor mount for the Bix3 to accommodate for bigger standard motors and props I designed this mount for a Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 2836 1040kv motor. A Propdrive v2 2836 1400kv also fits and possibly other 2836 motors as well, as long as the mounting plate has a hole distance of 33mm diagonally. With this mount it is able to spin a 9x6 inch prop safely. Non printed parts You will need 8 M3 x 10 countersunk screws with corresponding M3 nuts, possibly Nylock, if you have them. Assembly - screw the motor to the mounting plate with the (lock) nuts on top. - place the other 4 nuts in the recessed hex shaped holes on the mounting tube part - screw the mounting plate with the motor to the mounting tube - Cut the foam tube that usually holds the original plastic motor tube roughly at the height where the original motor tube would end. - glue in the 3d printed motor mount using CA or epoxy. The protruding plastic "wings" should line up with the recessed parts in the foam With 30% infill this thing is very robust. I have had a few very bad crashes e.g. with the whole foam part holding the motor breaking off. The mount stayed intact during all of these.
