  • Mongoose Parts (Part 2)

    I decided to try and get into racing as well as freestyle so my Old mongoose frame gets another redesign back to a lightweight race. However I still don’t like the default standoffs so I decided to try a more typical standoffs + TPU parts arrangement. Cue the designs: The Camera mount moves the camera…

  • Tango 2 Parts

    For me the Tango 2 is near to the perfect radio. This is most certainly a matter of personal preference but it is the most comfortable radio by far that I’ve held (surprising given I’m a pincher), it’s small and neat, the gimbles are full size and the battery life is great plus the ability…

  • Another Custom Canopy

    Another Custom Canopy

    I’m not 100% sure what the frame is but someone wanted a custom canopy. The feature tree was a bit messy but I’m pretty happy with the result. One thing I’m pretty pleased about is using standoffs for to mount the canopy. It provides a fair amount more protection for the flight stack, provides a…

  • Armattan Mongoose Parts

    Armattan Mongoose Parts

    As someone who owns both 3D printers and Quads I have of course designed several parts for them over the last few months. But recently I decided to give my Armattan Mongoose an overhaul. The Armattan Mongoose is a really light frame at <90g. So far it’s held up great in crashes, it’s not that…

  • Wall Storage (part 1)

    Wall Storage (part 1)

    I bought a house which is very exciting in itself. However the best part about owning a house is of course the ability to mount stuff on the walls. Expect a lot of wall mount storage solutions coming in the not to distant future but for now let me show you what I have so…

  • Printed Finger Blocks

    I really started to feel the lack of exercise from Covid-19 recently. I can go for runs and do bodyweight exercised to help but I needed something to help with finger strength. The pockets are relatively deep so they aren’t the most challenging holds. But they serve my purposes perfectly. I printed them in PETG,…

  • Dishwasher Wheels

    Dishwasher Wheels

    We have a dishwasher…but it’s a bit rubbish. Besides many other issues the biggest annoyance is that the wheels the carriages ride on constantly fall off. So lets fix that. The design of the part is simple and I actually took it as an opportunity for my partner to try her hand at CAD. We…

  • Creality Fan Mount

    Creality Fan Mount

    I have two problems with the fan mounts on the Creality printers. First the fan shroud, especially with any part cooling fans mounted to it, obscures all view of the nozzle. This makes it hard to observe print quality especially during the first few layers when they are most important. Second the design does little…

  • Fifine Mic Stand

    Fifine Mic Stand

    Its 2020, Covid-19 is tearing across the country and with all the web calls I thought it was high time I got a decent microphone. Unfortunately the microphone I bought (The Fifine Usb Podcast Condenser Microphone for anyone interested) comes with a measly little tripod. Pletny stable enough but difficult to fit on an already…

  • Carbon Fiber Reinforcing 3D Prints

    Carbon Fiber Reinforcing 3D Prints

    The Problem 3D prints are generally on the brittle side. Especially under tension between the layers. A brilliant way to get around this is to use flexible filaments. TPU, PP etc. These filaments are especially popular in the FPV world where they are used to mount cameras, protect electronics and often form the main cover…
