RS-550 motor cover

thingiverse

We use widely available RS-550 motors in high school robotics projects. If the wiring terminals are not shielded, they can easily snap off. After replacing a pair of motors with damaged terminals, I created this cover to safeguard them from further damage. It's a bit rough around the edges, but it got the job done efficiently. This cover protects the terminals from impacts while still allowing airflow to the motor vents. I printed this in 95A TPU material. If you attempt to print it with anything rigid, it will likely not fit properly and the "legs" will easily snap off. To secure the cover to the motor, I simply wrap a piece of electrical tape around the legs. I have included exported Fusion 360 and STEP files for your use in any project you like. *** Update *** The original files were all exported in inches. I replaced them with metric versions to provide greater flexibility.
