Brawler Canopy

A canopy engineered specifically for Twig quads with AIO whoop style flight controllers**DOES NOT ATTACH ON TOP OF FC, REQUIRES A FRAME WITH BETAFPV STYLE OUTER CANOPY MOUNTING HOLES** The frame in the image is the DroneJunkie Sensi 3" - https://www.dronejunkie.co.uk/frames-2/drone-junkie-frames/sensi-3 **STL AS PROVIDED HAS LARGE CANOPY MOUNTING HOLES FOR BRASS THREAD INSERTS, DOES NOT ACCEPT M2 SCREWS!** The original Fusion360 design is publicly available - https://a360.co/2UWbHf3 This design features a number of "User Parameters" that can be used to tweak attributes of the canopy (eg size of foot mounting holes) without requiring knowledge of editing 3D. Select Modify > User Parameters and edit the values in the table. Optimized for durability and camera protection over weight The canopy is 4mm thick but designed to be sliced mostly hollow with strength coming from the infill - I use "Cubic Subdivision" infill in Cura The idea is that this yields a canopy rigid enough to prevent Jello, but airbag-like in properties - the infill will compress in the event of a crash, and due to it mounting on the outer mounting holes, not on top of the FC, your FC mounting bolts should not get bent in a crash. 1. Designed for use with a RunCam Nano3 camera, although using User Parameters it should be possible to tweak it for other cameras Despite the Nano3 having a 160deg FOV, the canopy is not in view and you get ~3mm of material in front of the lens 2. Mount point in roof that holds a TBS Unify Pro32 Nano, use the "Antenna Clamp" to secure the VTx in place and clamp the antenna to the board to stop the UFL connector being ripped off the board 3. The holes in the sides at the top are for mounting 3mm antenna tubes for your Rx - superglue the "Antenna Tube retainer" to one end of the tubes, then slot them through the holes 4. Has markings on the side of the lens cutout in 10 degree increments to assist in setting your camera to a precise angle
