Micro metal gear motor housing

thingiverse

A micro gear motor housing is designed for antweight robotics, similar to these: http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/mm-gear-motor-50. This unique design lacks grooves found in standard models to lock the motor into place. Instead, heat the plastic and press it around the motor for a secure fit. These motors have been proven effective by users. The package includes three file types: 'motor housing', designed by myself and compatible with purchased versions; and two others that allow for heightened stand-off from the bottom plate, fitting standard Pololu wheels like these: http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/wheel-32-7. The second design features ears to accommodate those who struggle with small parts printing. After 3D printing, insert the motor and heat the plastic around it, gently squeezing for a secure 'lock' :-)
