Electric Longboard Components

PROOF-OF-CONCEPT: 3D-printed PLA Motor Mounts I took on the challenge of building a DIY electric longboard, doing as much as possible by myself. To meet this goal, I constructed and printed motor mounts, cases, and wheel covers - both inside and out - with an infill of 100% using my modified Anet A8. All parts have worked well for half a year without needing replacement. Given the electric longboard's peak power output of 4.4 kW and top speed of 40 km/h, I prioritized reliability to avoid issues at high speeds. Showing how I built my electric longboard is impractical due to numerous variables: battery, BMS, VESC, charging port, display, power button, wheels, motors, gears, belts, trucks, and board type. Instead, these parts serve as a proof-of-concept, demonstrating the feasibility of 3D-printed PLA motor mounts that can withstand 4.4 kW of peak power. I never saw 3D-printed motor mounts before and wanted to make it happen. Building my own saved money compared to buying special trucks and metal motor mounts.
