I made the thickness of the upper part bracket 3 mm, I then did another same size constraint to the lower of the bracket to ensure it was also 3 mm thick. I then extruded the bracket using the symmetric option, so it extrudes equally on both sides of the sketch plane. I extruded the sketch by 50mm.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_486\" style=\"width: 390px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-486\" class=\" wp-image-486\" src=\"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1750\/2023\/03\/L-Brackt-No-Holes-300x235.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"298\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Motor mount with no holes.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Using the know midline (sketch plane) I draw a circle that was 9mm in diameter to fit the shaft of the gear, this circle was near the horizonal portion of the bracket. From this circle I drew 2 lines each one going out 17.5mm from the center of the circle, I then drew a line from the ends of each of these lines that moved away from the horizontal portion of the bracket I then made these line 8mm long. From the end of these lines I drew a circle (on each end) that was 4mm in diameter. This resulted in the part of the bracket where the motor its stepper would go.\u00a0 After drawing these circles I then moved to the Sketch plane line on the upper part of the bracket, and drew 2 lines going out 17.5mm left and right. I then drew 2 holes 4mm in diameter from both ends of these lines. After drawing these lines I extruded all these holes into the bracket to remove the material. I set the extrude settings to have extrusion go to the face opposite of the drawings. This then create the holes for my motor mount.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-488\" src=\"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1750\/2023\/03\/L_Bracket_With_Holes-300x118.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"213\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From this point I exported the object and saved the object as a 3MF files so I could import it into the PrusaSlicer, after importing the object into the PrusaSlicer I set the material to be used to Generic PLA, I had the print settings as .15mm, I set he printer as the Original Prusa Mini &amp; Mini+, I then set the infill at 20%. I then sliced the object, I used the default settings for the slicing, I then exported the G-Code to a USD Thumb drive and printed the object on a Prusa Mini printer.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_489\" style=\"width: 596px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-489\" class=\" wp-image-489\" src=\"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1750\/2023\/03\/Prusa-Bracket-300x161.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"586\" height=\"315\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-489\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Motor mount in the PrusaSlicer<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The motor mount took 58 minutes to print, and it came out of the printer with a decent quality, I took my stepper motor and attacked it the bracket and it fit into the holes, and the attachment holes lined up as well.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_490\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-490\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-490\" src=\"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1750\/2023\/03\/Motor-Mount-bracket-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-490\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Printed motor mount and mounted stepper motor<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a project for ENGR 199 that had us design a motor mount for a stepper motor, and then print the mount.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1963,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-engr-199-intro-to-eng"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1963"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":497,"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494\/revisions\/497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portfolio.wcu.edu\/asmccoy2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
