Frsky X-lite Vantec linked gimbal protector

thingiverse

I'm a pincher, and I recently upgraded my stick ends on my FrSky X-Lite to the Vantec ones, which are slightly wider than the originals. This upgrade necessitated designing new gimbal protectors that would fit snugly around the wider stick ends. These custom-made protectors have been crafted with a broader internal diameter to accommodate the larger stick ends and feature a slightly enlarged base to provide a secure grip within the radio's chassis. As a result, they will no longer come loose when the radio is inverted. The specifications for these new protectors are as follows: an inner diameter of 10.5mm and an outer diameter of 27.7mm. A second design with an ID of 12mm has also been created to cater to users with wider stick ends that require a tighter fit. To achieve the best results, it is recommended to print these protectors in ABS using .15mm layers.
