FT Goblin battery compartment

thingiverse

The FliteTest Goblin RC plane is an exceptional aircraft, and this 3D printed battery box takes it to the next level. I was fed up with the Velcro tearing away from the foam board, so I designed a box with eyelets for straps to secure the battery in place while adding only 25g to the nose of the plane. You can counteract the extra weight by adjusting your battery's position closer to or further from the CG. The box can be mounted with either end towards the back or front depending on the battery you're using, and I opted for the solid end facing forward for added rigidity. With a 2200mah battery, it fits almost perfectly aligned with the front edge of the box. I sourced the cheap roll of Velcro strapping from Harbor Freight. Below are my print settings, or you can use the included gcode file for Prusa based printers. This little mod should enhance your Goblin experience. Happy flying!
