I wanted to test my motors with different propellers and battery combinations, to achieve better flight time with my multicopters. So I decided to build a so called motor thrust stand. I wanted it to be portable and compact, so a foldable one should be a good solution.
Needed parts:
-
2 pieces of wood for the arms: 400mm x 46mm x 19mm
-
2 pieces of wood for the base: 100mm x 46mm x 19mm
-
The carbon parts on the picture for mounting the motor and to put the arms together. File is free to use, so you can build your own.
-
4 x M4 screws and nuts
-
Shaft (To-do: Find a metal shaft)
-
Watt-Meter and RPM/KV-Meter
-
Scale
Drilled all the needed holes in the wood. The carbon parts were already drilled from my local manufacture.
Then assembled the parts with the needed screws. Well that’s it for now. I need to find a metal shaft (not like on the last picture) so the thrust stand is strong enough and not shaky. Connecting the motor, ESC, watt-meter and battery is easy, so need to show that.
