FT mini pods, including sportster variant

thingiverse

Here are some enhanced power pods that will give you a boost in performance. Take your time when drilling holes into them, as they can be fragile. To mark where you need to drill, I use a permanent marker on the tip of a skewer, then I carefully drill with a tiny bit before switching to the full size bit. These pods are designed to be light and strong. Notes: If you're unsure which version to get started with, begin with the long one. If you want to save weight, go for the short version instead. You may need to print these at 90-95% scale to achieve the right fit for your FT mini. After printing, give the edges a quick sanding if necessary to ensure a smooth fit. Don't force it in if it might deform the chassis - snug is good enough. If you accidentally over-drill a hole, don't toss it away! Instead, pick a larger skewer or fill the hole with hot glue and gently push your skewer through while the glue cools. The FT sportster pod features a design that provides the optimal downangle to the thrust vector. Once printed, sand the top edge of the sportster pod for a smooth finish. Two new variants have been added: v4_long is 2mm longer with no angle cut through it, and sportster long is also 2mm longer. The long version installation is slightly easier due to the extra wiggle room provided. If you need me to modify these pods for one of the new FT minis, simply send over your measurements so I can create a custom version just for you.
