Brushless DC Motor Parts v0.1

thingiverse

To overcome the issue of purchasing motors, hobbyists designed small motors for RC planes but required specific custom parts. The user aims to make such parts more accessible by designing similar ones. They chose a brushless design because it's easier to print and more reliable than a brush motor. The inspiration came from a webpage (http://www.flyelectric.ukgateway.net/cdrom.htm). The user is unsure if this will work but considers it worth a try. They admit they are out of their depth but hope it could be useful for others who prefer printing a motor over buying one. However, the user encountered an issue with non-manifold holes in the center of the model, likely due to connecting multiple objects to create the stator. They seek assistance in fixing this and share the .blend file. The instructions involve printing the rotor and stator, attaching magnets to the rotor's rim, drilling a hole in the stator for the axle, winding wire around each stator spoke (with help from the provided link), and attaching a metallic piece to create electromagnets. The stator is placed on the axle, and the coils are connected to an ESC. The user plans to share tested instructions with pictures after printing the motor.
