Nighthawk 280 Pro - Protection Kit

thingiverse

Underplate The underplate simply clicks onto place. It still allows airflow over the PDB while protecting it completely. It's 1mm larger than the pdb in every direction. You can land safely on the underplate since there are small ledges at each corner underneath the clips to hold it securely in place while being easy to remove. Gloves The "gloves" fit entirely inside the dimensions of the "hands" at the ends of the arms so no thrust from the props is wasted or blocked. The recessed holes act as clips to hold the gloves on. You don't need to unbolt the motors or use longer screws. I've also applied a tiny spot of superglue to each one so that I can still easily get them back off again, but this is optional. The clip idea alone isn't super secure and is fine only for gentle use. Github I have the OpenSCAD files on my github: https://github.com/CraigJPerry/Nighthawk280ProtectionKit Print Settings Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: Mini Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 2mm Infill: 20% Notes: I use a 2mm layerheight & 20% infill in both HIPS and ABS. HIPS is slightly lighter, ABS is slightly stronger but HIPS is stronger than needed here anyway. I used 1mm wall width (I have a 0.5mm nozzle) and I used 1mm top and bottom. I feel these are excessive and when re-printing I will turn these settings down. This might save 2-3g. The USB hole in the underplate does NOT require support, at least on a Lulzbot Mini. How I Designed This See the comments in the OpenSCAD files. This was my first OpenSCAD project.
