ESC Cover for ZOHD Dart 250g

thingiverse

While the stock cover fit well, I abhorred the exposed adhesive that collects grass, dirt, and debris like a vacuum cleaner. So here's my take on a replacement (non-sticky) version. I hold it in place with BlenDerm hinge tape, which can be applied as a strip down each side or smaller pieces on fore and aft ends for easier access. Bonus tip: I only had clear PLA on hand when printing this part. In order to make it resemble the OEM part more closely, I wanted to paint it. The only thing I had in black was a partial can of Flex Seal, so I went for it. The result is a nice textured look and an added rubbery grip to an otherwise slippery printed part. Version 1.1 - I tweaked the size to better fit my particular plane. It's only about 0.5mm larger in both X and Y dimensions, but this adjustment greatly improved the fit for me. I also adjusted the radii at the front to match the embossed area that it fits into more closely. Version 1.0 - This is the original model that was posted initially. It has been renamed to reflect the version number. I'm leaving it in case the latest version is too large for your aircraft.
