M4 Router Mounter Be-Gone (use any router with a side entry cord)

Here’s the next set of changes that I will do:

  1. Add the clearance to the upright so that the “top right” motor has full freedom of movement (i.e. that extra 3mm). Note that I won’t be printing this out and using it myself, because with my frame I don’t need to - so (at least) one of you will have to do this.
  2. Come up with a new PCB mount that almost completely covers the PCB (rather than its current skeleton form), to which someone could then stick some foil for a limited amount of EMF shielding from the router motor. Again, I (probably) won’t be printing and testing this myself, because …
  3. My actual goal - Give the router the flick and make a new adapter for the spindle that I have. That spindle has no way to mount a PCB to its top (that’s where its cooling fan is), and that situation/problem was the inspiration for this design.
