I was wondering since I don’t believe we have a specific area where we can post cad files for motor mounts. Please correct me if I am wrong, I have dug around and can only find the Enertion open source. But I am sure there are other posts for mount files. I will be making one if my dimensions are measured correctly, and will post here.

I am gonna start cutting out one of the open source mounts that is on enertions website.
Turns out the scrap bin has a very long piece of plastic bar that looks really rigid. Not sure what material but it could be counter-top. Will see how it turns out. And it also just luckily happens to be the right thickness .
I decided to see how much the open-source mounts would cost to get CNC’d, turns out the first set will cost $75 for each piece of the 2 clamping parts. Then for the next set it will cost $45 each piece of the clamp… * *. Going to redesign some sharp corners and see how it works out then.
So far. I downloaded their CAD add on for solidworks(they say it works for other programs, you gotta if yours is aupported). Installed the add on and it’s pretty Damn nicely built. It tells if the parts machineable gives very detailed error fix ups. And costs prices based first on the quantity and then based on how early you need it. I will submit a test file, maybe of one if my mounts, this last picture I uploaded will cost roughly 58-60 dollars.
Will post pics shortly
at this point i’m convinced the only 3d printed material that will work long term is carbon fiber mixed nylon. Normal nylon would be strong enough but too flexible
