FT Mini Arrow Canopy Hatch

thingiverse

I needed extra space in my mini arrow and didn't want to print out an entire new electronics pod, and this gives you an extra 5mm of clearance vs the foam board canopy. after you print it out heat it up until the ABS/PLA is floppy then mold it directly over the electronics bay. You really only need to secure the top section because once it is molded to you plane the bottom will hold in place without needing anything. You could velcro the bottom section if you feel it is necessary. the picture is from my first version, which worked fine, and as you can see handled several very hard crashes. This is version 2 and should be quite a bit better. Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: FolgerTech Prusa I3 Resolution: .2 Infill: 100 Post-Printing Heat up the lower half of the canopy and mold it directly over the vertical foam board that makes up the electronics pod. Use whatever you want to heat it up, I waved the lower half of mine above an electric stove for a few seconds and it worked well.
