Quiet BerdAir motor mount by RGN01

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

I needed a mount for my BerdAir type motor for my delta printer so designed this. To ensure as much noise dampening as possible, it uses three types of parts:
a pair of brackets printed from PLA (0.2mm, 50% infill) - shown in blue and green
a set of parts printed from soft material - I used Recreus Filaflex (0.3mm 20% infill) - shown in brown
an endcap for the motor printed from semi-flexible material - I used Real Filament Real Flex - shown in black
The motor I use is https://www.aliexpress.com/item/24V-DC-Diaphragm-555-Vacuum-Pump-Air-pump-High-Pressure-Micro-Vacuum-Pump/32821282878.html
To aid motor cooling, the rings that hold the motor have plentiful cutouts for ventilation. Cable ties can be used to secure the motor if required.
These are also shown as a complete STL file to show orientation in the Thingiview (not for printing).
2x M4 bolts and washers are used to mount the unit to the printer frame and 2x M3 cap screws are used to assemble the two solid parts.
The orientation of the parts is weird, just lay them flat on your print surface and they should print fine.
Other parts designed for my printers include:
