Does anyone know if any team ever 3d printed drill motor mounts for their featherweight robots?
I'm currently making mine out of HDPE plastic, but I wanted to if it has ever been done before.

Tried but wasnt happy with the strength. If you have the right sized drills then its quicker and stronger making them out of HDPE than printing
Those ones failed as the layer bonds crossed the direction of load. The regular ones I have which don't are strong as hell.Quote:

I just tie wrap them to the base plate :-)
