3D Printed Motor Mount, Propeller Spinner, Collet and Spar
Motor Mount Requirement
Motor mount wall should be 3D printed with more heat resistance filaments such as ABS, ASA or HIPS. If your 3D
printer does not have enclosure you may want to try with PETG filament (more heat resistance than PLA/PLA+). In
case you still would like to use PLA, please do annealing process (not sure can do for standard PLA), some successful
with HT-PLA/Hight Temp-PLA. Click here for you to read about annealing article.
Propeller Spinner and Collet Requirement
OWLplane does not provide STL file for printed propeller spinner due to our concern about strength, shape and
uniform weight when spinning at high speed. Not all 3D Printer has really free of skew issues for all their axes. The
skew issue generates uneven shape that will lead to problem when spinning. Good spinner should be available in
your local hobby store or online store, even that spinner, you still need to balance it before using it.
OWL MDM-1 Fox Spinner and Collet Requirement :
1. 70mm Diameter Size Spinner.
2. 5mm or 4mm Shaft Propeller Collet (check your purchased motor shaft to pick the right size propeller collet).
Please watch the following Videos to balance your Propeller and Spinner:
