Turnigy 9XR Mobile/Tablet FPV Mount

NEED TO PRINT ONLY 3 STL FILES: HANDLE MOUNT, MOUNT-TOP-OPEN-V3, & MOUNT BOTTOM-V3 - Other STLs are for reference only. --> I printed it in 0.4 resolution to speed up the printing process (looks shabby), but 0.2 is recommended. Summary: For a long time, I was searching for the perfect FPV monitor mount for Turnigy 9XR. I needed a mount that could accommodate a mobile phone (Google Pixel 2XL) or tablet (Nexus 7 2013-Generation 2). After researching, I came across two makes that fit my requirements. I modified them and incorporated both into my design to meet my needs. There are two versions of the mount top part, which is the sliding component of the mount. V1 - Closed end - This version makes it impossible to install a second set of M3 screws on the bottom part (use wire ties then) - I printed this one initially but used wire ties to secure the base-mount to the 9XR handle's lower screw holes. V2 - Open end - It is strongly recommended to print this one, as it allows for the installation of both sets of screws - Please note that support is required everywhere when printing this part. I set my Cura 4 software to a support density of 6%. I have used wire ties temporarily due to not having M3 screws that are 40 mm long. Important Note: When assembling, please use two rubber bands so if one breaks, the other will still hold the device in place. If you have any doubts or questions, feel free to write them in the comment section; I'll be happy to help clarify things.

Now, the mount fits perfectly on the handle. I used socket head type hex screws initially but you may find flat head screws that would be better suited for this application. However, the mount has enough clearance that even with socket head screws, the screw head stays away from the back of the Nexus tablet. Once flat head screws become available, I will switch to them. I also designed new versions of Mount_Top_Open (sliding part) and Mount_Bottom. These updated designs ensure that the bolt heads dip inside the body, preventing them from popping out. This design change ensures that the back of the tablet/phone does not touch the screw heads.
