Looking for a 3D file to get a 3d printed engine support for my 3s big rock if anyone has one could be appreciated or point me in the direction

Check out thingiverse. There are several options if I remember correctly.

I know it's not the STL file but an idea of what's out there. Hope it helps at least.

I've been seeing those pop up everywhere. I'm curious as to whether they actually work or is it just another gimmick?

Check here under 3S: "protection/support"

Other lots of good designs shared with the community as well.

I have one of the 6s printed motor supports on my Notorious from that link above, that sellers store. It works ok. It fits really snug & doesn't move. It has a hole to screw it down but I didn't do that, mine just is snapped under the motor & looks cool & it's functional

The scoops are worthless though. Just cool looking. Just pulls dirt all in the fans. Support does its job

They help prevent the motor mount from bending

And that's an old photo. I took the scoops off & have reg shrouds

Yeah I get that part. However, I've learned that for every part strengthened, you create a weak spot somewhere. Personally I use foam/rubber shelf padding tucked under my motors.and get a 50/50 between it bending and flexing. Then again I'm not a "jumper" with my RCs so I can see a benefit in totally eliminating flex for those hard landings.

Use some fine meshed stainless steel screenings. Not window mesh, this one came from an eavestrough cover:

That looks awesome! Ive thought of using K&N pre-filter there. I have one left over from a car filter.
I'm building a K6 slider. 4282 can. I'm gonna use Buna O-rings around the motor to support it against the chassis.

Welcome!

I do not have a 3D printer (issue for me), and I have found thick O-rings have done a great job for me over the end of the motor. Finding the right size is tricky so I invested in an o-ring kit. Pic is of a 6S, but you can do the same for a 3S motor.

Oring kit, example can find on Amazon, ebay, all over

Whereabouts? Locally we have one of these and I know guys who have used them with no complaints.

Also,hit up FB Market. There are always ads for 3d printing but how good they are is anyone's guess.
