The plan is for the mount to break along the print layers next time I crash, to avoid damaging the motor shaft. I'm sure that plan will be tested.

3D Printed Model Airplane Motor Mount
Last time I had my plane out to fly I had a rather hard landing that broke the motor mount. I expect that I'll probably do that a few more times, so I built a model of a mount and 3D printed a few of them on the Omaha Maker Group's 3D printer. I made the model to the exact size, so I had to do some filing before I could get it to fit properly. I'll have to keep the oversized printing in mind next time.

I have a bunch of prop savers at the space if you want a couple. I'll likely be ordering more. They won't save your blade at all, but they will save your motor. I'm also not entirely sure what size I have.
3mm prop savers
