ZOHD Drift custom motor mount

thingiverse

I found when opening the throttle on the ZOHD Drift that a vicious downward pitch moment was present. I examined the thrust line but it seemed to be spot-on the CG. I designed some different motor mounts anyway, just to see if I could improve it, and I did achieve an improvement. After experimenting and test flying, I ended up with a 3D printed mount that is 3.5 degrees down from the original. Now it flies way better! If using the .stl file, please slice it with a brim, otherwise it's very likely that the bottom will be warped. The included gcode has brim enabled with a resolution of 0.12. BEFORE inserting the mount, drill a hole for the retaining screw (marked) with 1.6/1.7mm or 1/16" on the bench as straight as possible. Because of the angle, make sure you insert the mount correct side up, and the motor should lean more forward. I used PLA+ to print it, but it might be too brittle with standard PLA, so use at your own risk.
