3DR Solo GPS Cover MOD

This is not an original idea. Mods have been made to solve impeded signal strength/satellite tracking on 3DR's SOLO drone. This design is my take on the solution and I referenced Tunames at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1828578 in my design. I also attempted to use image-based measuring to determine where holes should be placed. However, apparently, I am not good at taking photos perpendicular to planar surfaces (future project - rig level sensor on camera).**Update** May 30, 2019I printed both designs in PLA at ~212C and was able to fit both on the printer bed. I tested printing at high quality and high density. From the photos, you can see that my design (honeycomb design) that a corner delaminated and on the referenced print the fill was actually very low which resulted in one of the posts breaking off when I removed the part. This might be a result of the parameters Tunames used to create the stl file or from my printer settings or both?I also noticed that 3/4 holes line up between the models, while one corner is shifted about 3mm in one direction further compared to the reference model. So, I don't recommend printing my design until I figure what out caused the difference and determine what the correct dimension is.I will try printing again at a lower resolution next and maybe run a test at a higher nozzle temp to see if that helps reduce delamination.
