MPX Bulkhead Mount
Description
A Week Or So I Posted On How I Make A Xt60 Bulkhead Mount And I Was Asked If I Could Make Something Similar For A Mpx Style Connector. I Ordered A 10 Pack And As Soon As They Arrived I Modeled Them In 3D And Then Created A Bulkhead Fitting And Attach Flange. The Connector Was A Tight Fit Into The Fitting And I Modeled The Attach Flange Opening A Little Larger To Make Installation Easier. The Fitting Is Designed To Use 4 3Mm Flat Head Fasteners. The Ones Shown In The Picture Are The Only Ones I Had Available So I Guess I'Ll Be Stocking Up. The Bulkhead Fitting Is Tapped For A 3Mm Fastener And The Bonding Procedure Is To Cut A Rectangular Hole In The Proper Thickness Material And Place This Between The Attach Flange And The Fitting. The Connector May Now Be Pressed In. I Was Able To Get A Tight Fit First Time Around (Miracle!) But If Yours Comes Out Too Large Or Too Small Adjusting The Scale Of The Print Can Compensate. Once The Connector Is Pressed All The Way Through And Is Flush With The Attach Flange A Drop Of Ca On Each Side Of The Fitting Will Secure The Connector. Do Not Use Too Much As You Might Make A Permanent Attachment To The Flange Or Spacer. I Intend To Use This Fitting To Allow Hooking Up Aileron And Flap Servos. The Fitting Will Be Affixed To The Wing Root Rib And It Will Mate To The Male Connector Attached To The Receiver In The Model Fuselage. Enjoy!
