[solved] breaking motors and having a dent in it
I could cry, second motor had has a dent:
But in the Meantime i found these motors:
Mikromotor DC Ø 6 mm * 15 mm 1.2V-4,2Volt M660
Rated voltage: 1.2--4.2V (DC)
No load current: 55mA (max)
No load speed: 47000±2000rpm.
Rated load current: 1050mA(max)
Starting voltage: 0.8V (max)
Terminal Resistance: 2.7±0.5%Ω
Insulation Resistance: 10MΩ
Weight: 1.6g approx
They should be suitable too, no?
But this seems to be especially for beginners like me a likely problem, cause if you get too hard on a wall this happens after some time ;(
So probably we could add some damper inbetween the PCB Arm and the motor like a strip of the double sided tape for the lipo...
Also i was a bit confused about the bottom of the motors, need to attach something there too ... [update]
use pliers and press on the 90 deg sites of the dent and a bit up and down and around, and you probably get the motor working again ...
i got two of them back alive
And the tracking code for hong-kong post isnt working, so no idea when the new motors from there arrive :/But in the Meantime i found these motors:

Re: End of a Crazyfle Life - extension
Hi,
Sorry to hear about the motors There's a "stop" that has been put in to protect the motor from damages from the PCB arm. The same kind of "stop" has been put in beneath the motor to protect the bottom of the motor/wires when lading/taking off. We will have a look at the design again and see if there are any adjustments that can be made.
One method for extra motor protection can be seen here.

Re: End of a Crazyfle Life - extension
ah perfect, think i will buit something similar, but anyways after using fine pliers and changing the metal surface of the motor on different places its bein free again and works nearly as before
Re: End of a Crazyfle Life - extension
Yeah, the stop at the bottom of the motor mounts are not efficient enough; my wires are getting flat from bumpy landings. Also there doesn't seem to be any stop at all between the arm and the motor.marcus wrote:Hi,

Maybe something to adjust for the next batch?

I cut some "package bubble" from previous delivery box and put them on each arm of my crazyflie.
I hope this may help saving more lovely crazyflies.

It can provide not only a better protection than a tape but also keep light weight.I hope this may help saving more lovely crazyflies.

Awesome. Coolest crash protection I've ever seen!

Re: [solved] breaking motors and having a dent in it
Sorry to bump this topic, but I have another solution for "the dent" problem.
I have added some Styrofoam bits to my crazyflie.
Works well.
