NXT Motor Base Bottom to Tetrix Channel connector

thingiverse

Connects NXT motor securely to Tetrix channel with ease. Print both sides of motor mount to ensure stable fit between motor and channel. Recommended print method: 0.25mm layer height for strongest connection. Secure options abound when attaching motor. Option 1 features long screws (1.75" preferred, but pictures show 2") paired with one technic pin per side for a rock-solid hold. These screws grasp the motor tightly in place. Alternative attachment option uses no long screws; instead, employs three technic pins on each side for a snug fit. This method works beautifully because regular Tetrix screws keep the printed parts locked to the channel, effectively securing the pins and motor in place. No supports or special print settings needed for this design - prints flat as a pancake.

Stronger part results when printing with no infill; special settings unnecessary. Important to print both normal and mirror versions for a complete fit.
