3D model description

This is a complete Electronics Housing for the F450 Type Quadcopter found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1206960

In this case you can Store PDB and Flight Controller with 30.5mm Spacing like Pixhawk Mini or any standard INAV Capable F3, F4 or F7 Flight controller. It has also enough room to put an 30.5mm Receiver Module on the same stack. In the Cover part, there are also Mounts for an 3DR Radio and an Eachine TX526 Video Transmitter. The telemetry module can be mounted with a small cable tie and the video transmitter will hold itself with the plug or can be additionally glued in. The VTx channel display and control button are accessible from top. The GPS Mount is hollow to hide the cables inside. The VTx needs an Extension cable to mount the antenna on the side of the housing.

ATTENTION: When using an FC with integrated Magnetometer, DO NOT put the PDB inside the housing, because it will distort the compass. When using an GPS with Magnetometer, this is no problem.

The cover is screwed down with 2 short M3 screws and also the GPS Mount is screwed on the cover with M3 screws. Just screw down the base with one screw of each leg.

The small 2mm holes on each side of the cover are preparation for 2.4GHz receiver antenna cables.

Any suggestions? Just leave a comment.
