Generic Windicator Transmitter Mount
Description
I Liked The Windicator By Chewbaccah (#887932), But It Wouldn'T Fit On My Dx9, So I Have Designed Up My Own. It Is Designed To Use A Cut Down Driveway Marker Like You Would Find At Lowes- The Ones At Lowes Are Rougly 7.75Mm In Diameter (Https://Www.Lowes.Com/Pd/Hillman-48-In-X-0-375-In-Staff-Sign/3025196). There Are 2 Designs- One For 3Mm Screws (Pre Threaded) And A Second One That Takes Threaded Inserts For 3Mm Screws. I Printed Them Up In Pla With 30% Infill. This Is Designed With A Flat Back To Attach To The Transmitter With 3M Double Sided Tape. So First Printing The Inner Hole Was Too Tight, I Have Increased Its Diameter To 8.2Mm. Made One More Tweak- Made A Second Set Where I Widened The Base Out So That It Would Have More Area To Attach To The Transmitter. 4/23/18- Added A Clip To Keep The Streamer Wrapped Around The Shaft When Storing The Streamer.- This Was Based Upon The Clip For The Universal Parametric Spool Holder By Rowokii (Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:767317) 5/9/18- Got Tired Of Carrying The Windicator Along With My Dlg The Half Mile Walk From The Car To Where I Fly, So Designed A Transmitter Case Clip So I Can Clip The Wand To My Transmitter Case. Idea Is To Print 2, Stick Them On The Outside Of The Case And Clip The Wand In 5/10/18- After Printing Some Of The Case Clips, I Decided To Make The Part That Would Attach To The Case Bigger So That It Could Be More Firmly Attached To The Case. 5/10/18- Wasn'T Happy With How The V2 Case Clip Printed, So Now Have A V3- V2 Would Probably Print Ok On Its Side, But Supports Would Be Necessary, And Would Leave A Rough Surface On The Side Of The Clip. 5/11/18- So V3 Didn'T Have Enough Surface Area To Keep The Clip From Getting Pulled Off The Transmitter Case.. Enter V4- Solved The Sticking To The Case Problem, But Then Noticed That The Clips Need To Be A Hair Tighter To Keep The Rod From Sliding Out, So Now Have A V5 That Has An Inner Diamter .1Mm Tighter To Hold On To The Rod Better- I Have Whacked All The Earlier Versions As They Wouldn'T Work Out Any Way And Just Have V5 Up- It Comes As 2 Pieces A Left And Right One- So You Would Need To Print One Of Each.
