HyperVolt motor mount

The local high school's athletic trainer had an expensive massage tool that helped athletes, but someone broke it. The original part attached to the motor with three screws and secured to the frame with four rubber grommets held by four screws. At some point, one of the grommet mounts on a corner fractured off. Disassembly required using a small automotive puller to remove the metal piece from the motor shaft. A new part was designed by measuring and manipulating shapes in TinkerCAD, then fabricated with an Anycubic Kossel 3D printer. The new part is thicker and reinforced for added durability, but its robustness remains uncertain until further testing. This is version two, with a potential version three involving more precise screw placement. Two of the screws had to be moved about one millimeter and all chamfered deeper using a larger drill bit to secure the mount. The result works, saving the athletic trainer time and budget while keeping athletes comfortable.
