Here's the Flite Test Vlog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H76d7_7qSs Watched the vlog and saw how they cut and hollowed it out post printing, taped the head back on, and I figured I could tidy that process up a bit. I added holes in the bottom for wire routing (not pictured) and redesigned the motor mounting to hold different sized motors. The screw slots have a maximum spread of 23mm center to center and will fit M3 screws perfectly. The inner cavity is 83mm wide at the thinnest point, so there shouldn't be any FC placement issues either. Overall, it's a bit bigger than the original. When I imported the STL and did the mesh conversion, the size got blown up to a few hundred percent, so I scaled it down and it's not perfect but the motor measurements are sound. This is a large print (v12 files). At its greatest extents, it is 450mm wide, around 350mm rotated. That's not good! I'll need to shrink this down since cutting it in half to print kinda defeats my purpose for doing this. **UPDATE** The v18 files can fit in a 200mm x 200mm print area. The original v12 files probably can't fit an M3 screw, but an M4 should work and an M5 would be a little tight. An M3 could work with a washer, I guess. The v18 maximum screw spacing is now 20mm, and the slots should fit an M3 or M4 no problem but not an M5. The inner cavity is now 43mm so still no FC problems hopefully.
