Hey @JLabs, Just want to make sure that people know that the mounts I made were specific to the SK3 63XX Motor which has a bolt pattern of 32mm,square and all other 44mm diagonal motors. your motors are 30mm and 44mm bolt patterns so they WILL BE COMPATIBLE with the 44mm.
What do your mounts look like to begin with? Is it this because if thats the case @JLabs may as well go with the classic enertion mount that he finally made completely open source if we’re taking about design A. It’s proven and yours are just remakes of it for the most part. B and C are remakes of DIY’s mount
@jackw Wasn’t sure how the 30 or 44 was dimensioned but if 32mm square is 44 diagonal then okay. If you want post the pics you sent me on here for others too. I just noticed there was a difference in how it was dimensioned
yes i went with this style so they use locknuts instead of tapping aluminum. (lower cost and more fool proof) but there are many more options if using tapped threads.
B I give the credit to psychotiller because he did that style well before torque.
But lately i’ve been looking into style F (keep scrolling) because of forces being applied and it would make other truck types possible(CRONIN) and insert style adapter are very cheap even in us only $3ish (x50+).
style C is nothing like diy or any mount i’ve seen aside from ollin’s new mount that is using an adjustable idler with fixed ctc. which was released later, i wish i had my own cnc!
actually all of these were designed to be waterjet cut since its cheaper and there is no thermal stresses from the cutter. but even then can’t compete with china’s prices for cnc…
Did not realize you were going for a nut and bolt version vs tapped. All I meant to convey is that the motor mount market is for the most part saturated. Unless you can bring something new to the table (in regards to form factor, functionality, material savings ) then it’s going to be very difficult to get others to want to make the switch to your product.
@JLabs and I went all in with one piece models, there are draw backs to this, like you have to have two distinct sides so you have to have two files for machining, might require more money, higher order quantity, won’t appeal to everyone, but there are other obvious benefits (fixed angles, no need to mess around with setting up the mounts, better strength in the piece, much better ground clearance, etc.) and so when designing pic your point and design to achieve it.
