Summary

UPDATE (1 MAY 2017)
Uploaded new version of the top as it was too short to fit correctly.

UPDATE (8 DEC 2016)
Made several changes to the design as I've printed and am working on the assembly process.

  • Lengthened overall case to allow more room for wiring.
  • Enlarged hole for the balance plug and 2.1mm power plug and added grooves and channels for wiring.
  • Adjusted snap on lid for easier insertion into case.

UPDATE

Designed this case for using 2 - 18650 batteries with fatshark & skyzone goggles as the stock batteries don't last very long. This is still a work in progress and will post pictures and put together an intuitive assembly process for everyone as I assemble and test...if you make one, please let me know and post pictures!
