DJI Inspire 1 broken case handle fix

thingiverse

The case that comes with DJI Inspire 1 is surprisingly handy but unfortunately poorly constructed. Both plastic pieces that attach the handle to the case broke on mine, which was quite disappointing. They used some extremely brittle and badly injected plastic with self-tapping screws, making them extremely prone to breaking. When you remove the broken handle, you will also find a separate handle, two small rubber gaskets, and a sturdy metal bar with slots. I strongly advise discarding the self-tapping screws and the broken part right away. I printed this project upright using high-quality PLA material, with 100% infill for added strength. The new attachment is secured to the case using robust 30mm M3 socket head hex screws and matching M3 washers. On the nut side, I drilled three large holes in four coins (even pennies would work) to create extra-large washers that provide a secure grip on the M4 slots of the metal bar.
