These parts are my response to receiving the LaForge Fatshark and Diversity receiver modules and wanting to design and print some doors to go over them. I wanted something that fit well and allowed me to utilize the strengths of my SLA printer.
The design should have enough leeway for different printers, although some post-print finishing may be required. I don't make any guarantees that it will work on any printer, but I put a decent amount of time into getting the tolerances close and holding good tolerance with my test prints (final test was mostly within .005, and I don't think anything over .01). Because of that, the fact that they fit my Dominator V3's pretty well, and the fact that time is something of a precious commodity to me, I likely won't be able to edit this part to accommodate individual printers, people's taste, whims, etc.
There is also the issue of tolerance. There are 2 different manufactured parts here that each have their own tolerances held during the manufacturing process. Because I have no idea what these tolerances are, some people may have less space and some may have more. Please use caution and common sense putting everything together. If it doesn't want to fit, take the time to find out why before you try to force it.
Lastly, these parts are for running the wire internally, but a hole could easily be added in nearly any modeling program. The LaForge door is a tight fit and in my case, holds the module captive quite well. I gave a large amount of room on the Diversity side and intend on using a small piece of double-sided tape to hold it to the door. I wanted to give plenty of room to adjust the module to avoid anything internally. I remember seeing on the LaForge site that some users had an issue with burning the ribbon cable located on that end, so use some caution there. I intend putting in a heat shield or some other form of heat blocking to protect the area the cable is in.
