TX16S Gimbal Protector - Snug Fit / Single Piece

thingiverse

While I liked a lot of the gimbal protectors out there, I really wanted a single simple piece that would grip the control stick and not fall out. I printed these out of a flexible filament, but they may work as a snap fit PLA. To put them on I just lower a stick, place the piece onto gimbal, and then push the stick into place. They are nice and snug and then to release I grab both sides of the opening and lightly separate to get them apart (flexible filament only). I also included shots with a failed print to show you the "grip" of the lower stick. The rest of the shaft isn't grabbing the stick if you wanted to modify these for a wider thumbstick. EDIT: Original files are in inches, not MM. If you don't want to convert the sizing then use the MM model.
