F450/Q450 Flame Wheel Quadcopter Top Cage

NEW NOTE June 17, 2016: the STL models are in Millimeters, so it may show up very tiny when you import it into your slicer. I forgot about this because I use Makerware, which automatically recognizes this issue and prompts you to scale it up. One inch = 25.4 millimeters, so if you import it into your slicer and it is super tiny, you can resize it from mm to inches by uniformly scaling it (that is, scaling it in all directions, X, Y and Z) by 2540%. Simple top cage for DJI Flame Wheel 450 quadcopter (or imitations). Protects electronics and provides a convenient mounting point for FPV antenna. Also makes a good place to secure wires for strain relief. Instructions: Print Part1 and Part2. Snap two parts together at 90 degrees as shown in the photo. Attach to quadcopter arms with zip ties. Note: the slots where the two parts connect at the top are intentionally tight to avoid vibration. You will probably need to slightly trim the insides of the slots by sanding or with a knife. Print Settings: It worked well for me at 40% fill with two shells. If you like it, please click the "heart" button and leave a comment. Thanks! PS. The KK2.1 flight controller case you see in the pictures is the one posted on Thingiverse by "rcmanchild". Works great!
