Frsky RX6R Receiver Case

thingiverse

Hi guys, I hope you're all doing great today! Today I'm excited to share with you my design for a Frsky RX6R Receiver Case with an in-place-printed LED light guide. This part not only protects your receiver and its fragile antenna connectors but also replaces the cardboard wrapping. The design is pretty straightforward and fast to print, requiring no glue at all. It also includes an in-place printed light guide made of transparent PLA to increase visibility of the LEDs in bright sunlight. HOW TO PRINT THE LED-LIGHT-GUIDE? 1. Align the light guide with the chamfered side of the rectangular hole for the LEDs as shown in the picture above (you may need to flip the lid and light guide model). Make sure you position the model in a way that doesn't affect the home procedure, especially when using SAFE HOMING. 2. Slice and print only the lid, leaving it on the build plate after the print has completed. 3. Update the following print settings in your slicer for the light guide: - Disable AUTO_BED_LEVELING or delete G29 from your start code (if you use it) - Set Z lift or Z hop to at least 2 mm - Disable any brims, rafts, skirts, and supports - Load a clear or transparent filament matching the lid's material (different materials will work too but may not fuse together as well and may fall out) 5. Slice only the light guide. 4. Cross your fingers and hit print! Your 3D printer should now heat up, home all its axes (no bed leveling!), raise its nozzle by 2 mm, move to the chamfered rectangular hole, lower the Z axis, and start printing the light guide. Attention! You need to disable AUTO_BED_LEVELING and move the models to a safe place for homing to ensure your printer won't crash into the part! Everything should "snap" firmly together and be held just by friction. If something is too loose, use some small drops of superglue to secure it. If something doesn't want to fit at all, try decreasing temperature, layer height, and extrusion multiplier to make things more precise. To fit the antennas into the case, rotate the iPEX connectors 90 degrees towards the middle and cross them through the holes (as shown in the picture above). I also designed an RX4R Case. I wish you a successful print and stay safe! Kind regards, Benno.
