I agree, looks good...I wanna see the actual mount. Pretty CAD is nice and all, but until its tested for a while there's no way to know how it will hold up. Also something about the website strikes me as odd...Does anyone else feel that way?

Oh man, that would be a great hack for the builder community. We could stop using Wiimotes haha.

I was actually planning on just getting the mount, removing the motor. From what I've seen it looks to be a 63mm brush-less that they are using. They have their motors wired to one input, easy enough to separate out. and from what it looks like I'm pretty sure I could 3d print a sprocket for an...

I want to buy the truck with the motor...I feel like its a standard brush-less. I spoke to someone at the company but they were hesitant to tell me that I could get it and use it on a home made kit. Its a pretty nice mount...looks like it could easily be modded...anyone else have this idea or am...

Hey guys I'm back...its been a while but I've been caught up with school and work and have no time for printing. I've gotten my rig to work but as expected the plastics are too weak and melt too easily when under high amounts of friction. I have yet to be able to get my printer to print in ABS...

I modeled it to work with a paris 180 yes...But the truck that I am using it with is actually a cheaper "Compound" Truck from Zumies. I didn't want to ruin a good pair of 180's being that they are expensive. The Compound trucks are almost the same design, the mount seems to work better on them...

Yeah I can print some stuff for you, you'd have to send me the files you want printed. I would not charge much, depends on how much plastic you use and how long it takes.

Did you vacuum coat the pieces in epoxy? or did you just paint it on?

So im not 100% sure that it wont warp...I kinda just broke down and bought a spool of ABS just to be on the safe side, plus it was on sale for 27 bucks (Good quality stuff too!). As far as actual plastic cost I have no idea what that single piece cost being that I print it all myself. Id have to...

So my old design for the motor pulley was using a m3 hex nut inside of the collar and screwing a m3 machine bolt in...that didn't work as you can see in my picture. The new design that actually works because I just tried it is just making a hole for the grub screw but making it smaller so that...

Update...having some trouble with the motor pulley, getting the grubscrew to work without stripping the plastic seems to be an issue. I am reworking the design tonight and reprinting it. I kinda put myself in a hole being that I used AT5 Pulley design, If I ever decide to go alum. I have to...

I went with PLA for now, Its stronger than ABS in the sense that it has a much higher Crush rating. ABS tends to bend and crush. The only downside is that its a bit brittle, but this stuff is still really strong, You have to take a hammer to it to crack it. I've had this mount on for a few days...

So I am currently working on a 3d printed motor mount for an electric Longboard. I have the first prototype setup, just need to test it all to see if the plastic can support the load. My plans with it is to upload it to thingiverse so that anyone who wants the motor mount can download it and...
