ImpulseRC Apex - Caddx Vista antenna mount

thingiverse

Most designs for mounting the Caddx Vista antenna in the ImpulseRC Apex (non HD version) are either too flimsy, too heavy or too difficult to print. I designed this mount specifically for the ImpulseRC Apex. Printed in flexible TPU this mount allows the Vista antenna to move back and forth in a crash without being damaged. At the same time it is very light (about 1 gram) and extremely easy to print, even without support structure, even with flexible filaments. Note that there are two versions: - Version 1: has a slot down the middle of the center tube, allowing the antenne to be slotted in even when it is already connected to the Vista. A zip tie is required after installing the antenna, to keep it secure. I personally prefer this method. - Version 2: does not have the slot, and much rather has a solid middle tube which requires the Vista antenna to be slid in with the IPX connector first, before connecting it to the Vista. Does not require an additional zip tie after installation, but may be harder to build with depending on your preferences.
