    Default Design for a no damage 3 gauge cluster

    I designed this in freecad and printed it using a resin printer yesterday. You use a big piece of Velcro to attach it below the radio. This is version two, you can see version one in some of my YouTube walk arounds. I added little buttresses to the top for increased strength.

    I don't have any use for this, but I love it.

    The possibilities with 3D printing really are game changers for this kind of stuff. I've seen antenna delete plates, and no-drill front plate mounts as well. Very clean.

    The resin printer is really hard stuff too. Nothing like the old school 'melted plastic' kind of 3d printing.

    I did! The resin is grey. Not a fan of gloss or work, so I am going to leave it.

    Cool stuff.
    There used to be a short list here of certain plastic Fox parts that need to be reproduced, being nla.
    Hope someday to find a fun way to reproduce rudders for my Cox Hobbies PT-19s.

    We have a 3d scanner that works pretty well for that kind of thing, I haven't played with it yet so not sure how well.

    Hi, really nice.
    I also can't cut holes in anything stock.
    The links give a "404" error unfortunately.

    You mentioned YouTube videos. Can you give a name or channel to search for them?

    Regards,
    Hans.

    I think it is working now. Give it a shot.

    The videos are here: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCxp5dc6iIVNYTSXcUXfi24w
