Diatone R series canopy mod for DJI Caddx Vista

thingiverse

Remix of RipsawMs1 canopy design for Diatone R series focuses on minimizing weight and simplifying printing. A lighter overall structure results in a material reduction, with my version weighing 8g, utilizing SaintSmart TPU 2mm wall thickness and 15% infill density. The flat top design enables effortless printing with minimal support requirements. A notch for easier antenna installation has also been incorporated. Although an attempt was made to achieve a low-poly aesthetic, its impact is relatively inconspicuous in the final product. In my specific instance, this canopy is designed for a 2" GTR249 drone, which already carries a considerable weight burden due to the presence of a Caddx Vista instead of a Turtle or other alternatives. The original AUW (airborne unit weight) stood at 92g, whereas with this new design it increases to 110g. The Diatone R series canopy offers ample space for the Vista without necessitating the "squeezing" of the Mamba stack. Furthermore, shorter rear standoffs measuring 20mm can be utilized. However, note that there is reduced clearance for the front props; although still sufficient, it should be taken into consideration during assembly.
