Flite Test Goblin Motor Mount with Speed Ring Cowl

I've dummied up a "speed ring" cowl for the FT Goblin (on an "improved airflow" mount I found on Thingiverse.

This is a remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3311705

It has a cool look to it, for sure.

I have printed two of these, but have not tested to see if it actually assist in cooling of if it just looks cool (they do look cool, I'll give it that).

The original motor mount on Thingiverse is just for "improved cooling" and I thought putting a speed ring on it a) looked cool, and b) might help a little.

It's already in a turbulent zone and I've heard that the motor cooling with the stock motor mount was lacking (that's where (I think) this mount came from...I just added the speed ring

I used Cura to slice and tree supports. The supports come off nicely if you push on the edge of the support roof from between the ring and the motor mount.

Re-orient this so the ring is on the print bed and lower it in the "z" axis by -.35 and then slice. This leaves a squared off trailing edge on the airfoil of the ring, but it really shouldn't make much difference...I actually read someplace that a squared off trailing edge was more efficient than a knife sharp trailing edge... I don't know. I'm not an engineer, I'm a tinkerer. ;)

Cura says 27g of material/9.21meters and 2 hours 30 min to print.
