Initially, my plan was to use Acrylic and laser cutter to make a motor mount (last picture) . But after running the FEA, I found that safety factor of 0.88 for the design and material would not support the amount of forces that it must endure during the operation. I went ahead and make a simple mount ( L-shape mount) design using the A36 steel and 0.25 in thickness. Everything went very smoothly with the help of Alex helping me welding the plates together. the mount have safety factor of 5 and is very strong.
