Chameleon XT60 Arm Brace

thingiverse

This is a two piece "brace" for the BF3 FC and the Armattan Chameleon. I don't much care to run the lipo lead up through the GP mount, nor did I like it just hanging off the side of the frame. Since the BF3 FC is a PDB, I couldn't easily use Armattan's provided XT60 saver so I, with some help, came up with this design. I've printed it in PLA+ and TPU. While PLA+ worked, 5-6 hard crashes and it broke up a bit. The TPU version is going strong though without any ill effect. The tabs are there to "lock" the part together, however I found if one makes the lipo lead cables JUST the right size, then the wire will keep the part together perfectly. Otherwise drop a bit of glue/CA on the tabs and press fit. Note: Due to the frame size the vertical room below the plate is minimal. You will note the top perimeter is very thin. I may do a second revision that lowers the entrance for the Lipo when not using a 4in1 ESC in the stack. Please let us know if you have success with this part or have any ideas to improve it! Enjoy!
