Lipo plug travel insulator

thingiverse

With my upcoming December trip abroad looming, I decided it was time to come up with a plan to protect the plugs on my Lipo batteries during flight. I considered simply taping up the XT60 and balance plug, but with my 3D printer at hand, I thought I could do better than that. Initially, I wanted to add a clip system to secure everything in place, but then I realized I was using PLA, which is notoriously brittle. I was worried that the clips might snap off, rendering the entire assembly useless. In the end, it turned out that all I needed was a 100mm cable tie and an elastic band to keep everything securely fastened to the battery.
