Eachine EV100 full conversion

thingiverse

I've added a new version of the faceplate to the models, and it can be printed in hard plastic instead of using TPU. This provides a far better fit. I think I'm pretty satisfied with the design now. All I need to do is add diopter slots and a few more module bay covers. Update - 01/04/2018 By request from GC9N, I've added a new top plate for the goggles featuring the Achille logo. This firmware unlocks the true power of your RX5808 modules and really makes for a much better flying experience. Seriously, if you don't already know about this firmware and have an RX5808 module, you need to install it right now. Check out GC9N's site at https://achillesfpv.eu/ and give him some love. He put a lot of work into this firmware. Update: I've added a faceplate and fan cover with air channels to the STL files. The first version didn't have those. I designed this piece to be printed with semi-flex filament because modeling exact dimensions along curved surfaces is hard. The "flaps" on the front side are a cheap trick to eliminate light leaks caused by less than perfect fitting parts. You can use Velcro from the factory faceplate, but be careful removing the foam because it's very fragile. This is a work in progress. I'll add more detailed instructions for hardware modifications and some additional front covers as time goes on. The Eachine EV100 sounded amazing when first announced - a low-cost set of high-quality FPV goggles with a preorder price of about $100. What could go wrong? The answer is plenty. The first batch came with distorted video, intermittent video, small field of view, and less-than-spectacular receiver sensitivity to name a few things. Some problems were due to manufacturing mistakes, while others were just part of the design. I ended up with four pairs of EV100 goggles through Banggood's return/replace policy and shipping error. I figured one could be sacrificed to the maker gods to try addressing some problems. The result is an abomination called the Eachine EV150 - all the fun of the EV100 goggles with a wider IPD, greater FOV, FatShark module compatibility, and this constant thought in my head that I need a life. Standard Disclaimer: Don't try this at home. In fact, don't try it at all! I'm not responsible for any damages to your equipment or sanity. I'm not very responsible. But if you're the right kind of person with no fear of warranties or soldering irons and want to modify your EV100s, maybe these STL files will help a bit. That might just make my suffering worth it. This version uses Realacc RX5808 pro split diversity receiver. I'll make some panel covers that work with other models when I can get some to measure off of. I won't be uploading my Fusion 360 files because they're a mess, and I'd die of embarrassment. This is the part where I thank people who inspired me on this fool's errand: DroneMesh's YouTube channel and RCGroups Forum for giving me the idea to do this in the first place. Lishy - for the EV100 case model that I used as inspiration for my design
