Universal RC plane canopy

thingiverse

my rc plane (superfly incase you were wondering) had a foam canopy which was really fragile so i designed this. i designed it so it can be used on many different planes its uses zip ties to go through the foam into the printed rim on the other side i haven't designed a way to secure the lid on but my plan is to use velcro straps and a zip tie as a hinge, at the moment the lid clips in using a piece of a gift card as a stop, its not too strong though so ill add velcro later to hold the battery in i just use a piece of foam cut to the shape the canopy hasn't got any tolerances designed so trim it down in software or sand the edges after you print it the dimensions are 101 x 40.5 x 170.4 mm added a solid plate for soft foam planes added a hook to the solid plate for bungee launches the holes arent symmetrical (the front one isnt for sure, not sure about the others) Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: prusa i3 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.4mm Infill: 100 Notes: i used colorfabb pla 220c 60c bed 100% fan speed (not on the main body which was a mistake) print the lid vertically so you dont need supports
