Nighthawk 280 Pro - Protection Kit

thingiverse

Underplate The underplate just clips on. It still allows airflow over the PDB while protecting it. It's 1mm bigger than the pdb in every direction. You can land on the underplate since there are little ledges at each corner under the clips to securely hold it in place while still being easy to remove. Gloves The "gloves" are completely inside the dimensions of the "hands" at the ends of the arms so no thrust from the props is blocked or wasted. The recessed holes are set such that they act as clips to hold the gloves on. You don't need to unbolt the motors or find longer screws. I've also put 1 tiny spot of superglue on each so that i can still easily get them back off again but this is optional. The clip idea alone is not super secure, fine for gentle use only. Github I have the openscad files on my github: https://github.com/CraigJPerry/Nighthawk280ProtectionKit Print Settings Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: Mini Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 2mm Infill: 20% Notes: I use a 2mm layerheight & 20% infill in both HIPS and ABS. HIPS is slightly lighter, ABS is slightly stronger but HIPS is stronger than needed here anyway. I used 1mm wall width (i have a 0.5mm nozzle) and i used 1mm top and bottom. I feel these are excessive, when re-printing i will turn these settings down. Might save 2-3g. The USB hole in the underplate does NOT require support, at least on a lulzbot mini. How I Designed This See the comments in the OpenSCAD files. This was my first OpenSCAD project.
