Hey there,
After building the newly released Sparrow in needed a motor mount an didn't want to do the cutting shown in the build video. So i fired up my beloved CAD program and started making a motor mount you can print yourself.
Right now it will fit 2204/06 size motors using two 6mm M3 screws in the 16mm holes.
The mount is a pretty good friction fit but i've included some holes so you can fix it from the sides using your spare bbq stick thingy. ;)

There is also a small tunnel to fix the cables down with a zip tie.
The mount is offset to fit 6 inch props and i've included two servo horns in the download.
So thanks for checking this out and happy printing

Looks like motor will sit a little lower but at the same position (fore and aft). Does the printed mount weigh more than the foam? Do you need more weight in the nose?

The motor is about 2mm lower than with the power pod design. Had to do this to get to the bolts still. I might change it a little.
Printed weight in PLA is 8g for the mount and i think a little over 10 with bolts. Printed with 0.8mm walls and 20% infill. Takes about 35 minutes on my printer.
I needed the noseweight anyway and i'm balancing it with a 1500mAh Lipo right now cause this is what i had handy from miniquads.
