Connex Prosight Antenna Holder- Wishbone

thingiverse

This Connex Prosight antenna holder is designed to flex (made from TPU) while still keeping the pads fairly isolated from impact/twisting forces during crashes. The bridging "arch" allows the pads to be pulled away or pushed towards each other to absorb some of the impact, but prevents it from being done to the extent they could get damaged. The design has been crash tested many times, and did fairly well, but on one crash, the cable was ripped out of one of the pads, so it made me secure the cable and pads with hot glue, to prevent extra tension from ripping the cable, and the pads from popping out in extreme cases.

Post-Printing Cleanup Clip off any strings and excess material. Clip off the poles that are along the middle section of each pad, leaving 2mm at each side. Clip off the about 5mm from the center of each top "guard" to allow sliding in the pads from the top with ease. Hot glue both tops, bottoms- front and back, and cable all the way down to the original flexible rubber mount.
