Lube Retainer R11

thingiverse

This is my eleventh revision of my lube retainer add-on for full size ILF Cases.It is compatible with Boost and Standard end caps and should retain around 10.5ml of fluids.This retainer is lighter weight than most previous revisions and has a sleeve grabbing structure to make installation, alignment, and removal easier. Cleanup is also made easier by this structure since it better maintains a seal with the bottom of the sleeve.This revision brings back the concept of a "rope guard". The rope guard is a cap over the inlet hole in the center. Many of the previous revisions had the rope guard concept removed, but during recent tests it became apparent to me that ropes can in fact escape without it. I just wasn't shooting straight enough to achieve unwanted results during prior test flights.I'm mostly satisfied with this design, but I am still thinking of ways to improve.It is printable without support material if you print flat face down. My current gripe with this design is that air flow is reduced a bit by the rope guard. The rope guard also causes a whistling sound when flying too vigorously, but it is about the same decibel level as the whooshing of Boost caps, so not terrible.
