Quiet BerdAir motor mount

thingiverse

I needed a mount for my BerdAir type motor to fit in my delta printer, so I designed this one myself. To keep it as quiet as possible, it uses three types of parts: a pair of brackets printed from PLA with 50% infill and a layer thickness of 0.2mm - shown in blue and green, a set of parts printed from soft material using Recreus Filaflex with 20% infill and a layer thickness of 0.3mm - shown in brown, and an endcap for the motor printed from semi-flexible material using Real Filament Real Flex - shown in black. The motor I'm using is a 24V DC Diaphragm 555 Vacuum Pump Air Pump High Pressure Micro-Vacuum Pump available on AliExpress. To help keep the motor cool, the rings that hold it have plenty of cutouts for ventilation. Cable ties can be used to secure the motor if needed. These parts are also shown as a complete STL file in ThingiView to demonstrate their orientation - not for actual printing. Two M4 bolts and washers are used to mount the unit to the printer frame, and two M3 cap screws are used to assemble the two solid parts. The orientation of these parts is a bit weird, so just lay them flat on your print surface and they should print fine. Other parts I've designed for my printers include: - GT2 Belt Clamp (Prusa Y-Axis) - Arduino Mega and RAMPS v1.4 Case - Prusa i3 Steel 10mm Upgrade - Prusa i3 Steel Y-Axis Motor Mount - Prusa i3 Steel X-Carriage - E3D Chimera / Cyclops Mount - Dual E3D Thermocouple Amplifier Board - Housing - Belt Driven Bowden Extruder with 1:2.5 Reduction - Enclosure for SevenSwitch FET - 8mm Z-Axis Leadscrew Bearing Holder - Z-Axis NEMA 17 Adjustable Endstop Bracket - Cable Chain - LCD Housing - PSU Cover - Chimera & Zesty Nimble Drive Cable Spacer - Chimera Zesty Nimble X-Axis Set for i3 Clone - Dummy NEMA 17 Motor to Hold the 5mm Shaft - Duet WiFi Housing - Layer Fan for Smart Effector - Sannce I21AG Mount for 3D Printers - Cooling Duct for Noctua 40mm Fan on Duet Smart Effector - Quiet BerdAir Type Pump Mount - Raspberry Pi Case with 40mm Fan For clarity, this item is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License - see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ for more details.
