Link to mycopter's nose cutting jig, thanks mate! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4539843 The Phoenix 2 camera is an uncased camera, don't force it to fit! The cutout for the phoenix 2 is designed for a loose fit but some printers might print it tight, in case of this remove some material from the nose first! Especially from the back where the camera is extra sensitive. Low drag FPV nose for Multiplex Funjet Ultra 2 designed to fit the Runcam Phoenix 2 FPV camera with 2.1mm lens. This nose also fits the regular funjet 2 and the old funjet and funjet ultra! Cutting the nose off a funjet straight is not an easy task, but I came up with a method for it and it worked out great. First measure the nose with calipers set to 46mm and try to hold it as straight as possible between the ribs without compressing the foam. Then insert a needle into the rib on one side. Now take a piece of string and insert a needle through it, and then insert the needle centered at the point of the nose so the string can swivel around the needle. Take the string and hold it against the needle in the rib and insert another needle through it, so its protruding less than 1 mm through the string. Then swivel the string around the nose poking holes around the nose. Insert needles into the holes you poked. I used a new razor and made a shallow slit through the laminate around the whole nose by supporting it against the needles. Then I used a hacksaw blade and chopped the nose off, with the laminate guiding the blade. If you haven't laminated the model, it should work great to use some tape around where you want to cut the nose temporarily just to get support and guide for the hacksaw blade. Rotate the models 90 degrees and click on lay flat, just like in the Cura pictures. Print the nose with supports everywhere and 20% support density. Also, use 20% support density with support brim, support roof, and support towers enabled on the LID. Use 4 walls and 20% infill or more on the nose, and 40% on the LID. The lid also needs a brim. Don't worry if the supports fail on the lid; it seems to sort itself out after a while. Also, you could set custom z-seam to move the seam where it's less visible. Before you install the lid with the camera in the nose, make sure to insert and remove the lid a few times to loosen it up so it doesn't bind with the camera stuck inside! To secure the lid to the nose, I just lay a tiny bead of glue on top of the seam after the lid is fully seated. Then it's easy to remove the lid if needed.
