I have flown the snot out of my teksumo. I have also hacked it up and used it as an FPV platform. All the flying, and hard landings left me with an increasingly destroyed motor mount.
Lucky for me I have access to a 3D printer, so I decided to try designing and printing a new one.
Basically I took very detailed measurements of what was left of my original mount, then created 2D sketches. Then I used 123D to create the model. From there is goes into Makerware to get processed for the printer.
All things considered I think it turned out pretty well. It seems to be an accurate recreation of the old one.
The holes for the NTM mount even line up!
I have yet to fly it but I think it is going to work out well.
I have posted the files on Thingaverse, if there is anyone out there with a 3D printer who want to try it. I would love the feedback.
I posted additional details and photos here.
