Hello all,
Because my boat doesn't have a water tight compartment I decided to 3D print cases and holders to keep my components dry in the event of water ingress. A couple of the cases are enclosed and the other two are open brackets that I use with balloons.
As I have had so much help from everyone I wanted to offer these STL files to anyone in the community that could use them.
They were designed in a hurry so use at your own risk.Because I have my mounted up in the in the bow and very hard to access I wanted to be able to take my APM in and out easily. I designed and printed this bracket that allows me to stick the holder to the boat and then put my APM in a balloon and it click in and out of the holder.
This is the 3DR RX v1 holder, again I use this with a balloon. I have it mounted on the underside of the fore deck with only the antenna protruding our of the deck.
This is the 3DR TX v1 case. Accommodates the USB fitted at this end and the antenna fitting at the other end.
Finally, this is Orange LRS RX case. The hole in the top is to accommodate the servo pin ch5 for PPM to ch 1 on the APM and a bridge from 1 to 2 signal on the APM.
Files are the property of Black Magic Design and are not for resale or to be used for financial gain.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
RS

One note: with the 3DR radio holder I sanded back the retaining lobes on the long sides to allow easier install and removal.
Hi Richard,
Nice work and I am sure that your designs will be greatly appreciated by the ArduBoat membership.
