Alternative Taranis Q X7 M7 gimbal ring

thingiverse

After swapping out the stock gimbals on my Taranis Q X7 for M7 models, I found the original rings to be somewhat underwhelming. Furthermore, I didn't care for the recess that exposed more of the silver ring plastic due to the fact that the M7 gimbals sit a few mm lower, or at least the plate is lower than the internal ring on the stock gimbals. So I designed an alternative ring. This one gives the appearance of being slightly larger because the 45-degree slope starts right above the gimbal plate and the walls on top are a bit thinner. This eliminates the tunnel-like look created by the stock ring together with the M7 gimbal. Additionally, the upper wall is shaped to match the upper face of the radio.
