Belt clip for hanging rc transmitter

thingiverse

I designed this accessory for when I take aerial photos using my drone. As I fly the drone, holding it steady while viewing the video feed through the transmitter's control unit is a no-brainer. To adjust the camera, toggle between camera modes or control other functions, I use the joysticks and switches on the separate transmitter mounted to my hip. It works effortlessly this way since I can maintain focus on both the drone and the in-flight video on the control unit screen while using the hand controller discreetly held by the device. The accessory was designed specifically for hobby-grade radio transmitters that come with a built-in rod attachment point at the back – like mine, the Futaba T12FGH. It secures these transmitter backs safely and doesn't strain under heavier models' weight (tested to support my $800 equipment without incident). During 3D printing, I held it down with the sides facing downwards – making an S-shaped profile as viewed from above. The used settings were: • Print Method: FDM (fused deposition modeling) process. Print details: • Machine Model: Kossel Delta Printer. • Support Structures: None necessary due to its minimal design footprint. Printing Tips Make sure the printed accessory sits "flat-side down" on your print bed to achieve its designed rigidity and stability. For smoother print adhesion, I would suggest setting it up with an under-print Brim in areas prone to minor shrinkage/warping; alternatively if no warp is noted simply lay flat (preferable for most prints).
