Hi all,
I’ve ordered a CEDRUS Foil Drive Integrated Mast. The plastic puck/insert supplied for the integrated mast doesn’t match the bolt pattern for a Flipsky 6384 motor, so I can’t mount it properly.
Has anyone already designed an adapter puck (or revised insert) that can be 3D printed to suit the Flipsky 6384 pattern?
Thanks!
Alex
Hi! I don’t have an adapter plate, but I’m sure you could do it in no time on onshape.
Draw a circle with 63 diameter, draw inside that circle a 44mm diameter.
Draw a line 45 degree up and down from the middle. Place a circle with 4mm diameter where the 44 diameter circle and the 45 degree line meet.
Draw a square from midpoint (foildrive measurements -idk exact but I think 27mmx21mm or something)
Place 4 mm circles on it.
Extrude the thing.
Place a counter sunk drilling on the side you need it.
You could do just half a side and mirror it later
Thats not a cheap mast, why not just buy a foil drive motor?
Alternatively if you are feeling creative, I bought a FD stator only and then ran a normal 6384 rotor which I waterproofed myself. That would bring the motor cost right down but would give you the right connection.
It’s the cheapest integrated mast on the market, and I can use it with both my AXIS and Armstrong foils with the correct adapter.
Foil drive high power motor is $995.68
Flipsky 6384 is $108.00
That’s well outside my current skill set — and I’ve seen some very talented people on this forum who would do a far better job than I ever could.
So I can get a stator only in the UK for £299
I would imagine its not to expensive in the states.
The big issue you will face with Flipsky is the adaptor with the plug. It will need to be really decent. It will add 20mm to the rear of the motor too I would imagine.
