Thrust bench

thingiverse

I had to design some motor test setups, so I built this device.\nAll you need are some M3x10mm screws, an 8mm shaft (which could be a wood dowel or carbon tube), 16mm carbon tubes, Z608 bearings (2) and a motor mount.\nI use TAROT RC 16mm clamps and custom carbon plates, but any motor mounts that fit on 16mm tubes will work.\nDrill the carbon tubes with a 2.5 or 3/32 bit when they're in place (screws will lock in there).\nThis bench is made for use on any scale between 5 to 10cm high. The main mount is adjustable to height to get an accurate reading.\nDownloadable motor mounts: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:723234 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1459883\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: \n RepRap\n \n Printer: \n Prusa i3 2020\n \n Rafts: \n No\n \n Supports: \n Doesn't Matter\n \n Resolution: \n .20\n \n Infill: \n 50%\n \n Notes: \n You can use support for the main plate, but it's only for mounting slots; they don't need to be precise.\nEverything else doesn't require any supports.\nPRINT ALL THE PARTS FLAT! The main support needs to rest on its "back" (the largest flat surface on the build plate). The block/pivot needs to be on its side. Support is optional, but you can also heat-up the block a bit before fitting the tubes (a tighter fit and better readings result).
