Ergonomic FrSky X-Lite Mod

cults3d

The objective of this project is to design a ergonomic transmitter case for pincher-style drone pilots. After searching and experimenting with various types of transmitters, I discovered that few manufacturers address this issue. The following is my best attempt at creating such a product, being the only one available option at present. Abstract: My primary transmitter choice for this modification was the FrSky's X-Lite TX. Initially, I worked on a QX7 mod, considering its popularity among pilots. However, due to the PCB's dimensions, it became apparent that a model printable on standard 210x210 printers was not feasible. About: I have not tested the compatibility of this case with X-Lite PRO and X-Lite S electronics. The battery mounts are designed for 18650 Li-Ion protected cells, which reuse all existing screws, eliminating the need to purchase additional components. The case is optimized to fit within a standard 210x210 printer's dimensions, although it requires a 220x220 bed to print. Many printers can accommodate this size with a simple adjustment in the slicer settings. Switching to this case will result in the loss of access to rotary sliders, JR bay, external antenna, programming pins, and audio jack at the bottom. I believe that the official X-Lite external antenna fits inside the remote, but its accessibility is compromised without opening the case (untested). The SD card and USB ports remain accessible.
