DX6i Gimbal Stick Protectors

thingiverse

I wanted some gimbal stick protectors for my old-ish DX6i radio controller, but I couldn't find one that suited me, either by design or aesthetically. So, being the CAD designer I'm supposed to be, I took it upon myself to make my own. And since we don't reinvent the wheel, I took inspiration from ErgoFPV's Taranis M7/M9 "That does not fall off" (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3191975), tweeked it a bit to fit Spektrum's old DX6i and voilà. As I couldn't say it better than him, ErgoFPV states on his design that "the protector locks on the bottom side of the gimbal stick end, which is at a different height for every pilot." For this reason, I'm also leaving the CAD files for anyone who has any trouble with their own sticks being different to mine. Made a pair for a friend, worked out for him too so... Thought maybe someone else may need a pair. Enjoy :) EDIT : Redesigned the outside ring lip to make it larger, so that it can be printed successfully without supports. Adds roughly a gram of material. I didn't include any extra CAD files for it though. Please leave a comment if ever needed. Big thanks for the original design from ErgoFPV.
