XHover R5X/R5LX racing pod
IMPORTANT This design was a failure, and I don't recommend it. The screw holes are not deep enough, and it came off during the first hard crash. This was my first attempt, and I intend to make another if I decide to stick with the R5LX.
This was inspired from DirtyDogFPV's design, but created from scratch in Fusion360. I actually like how theirs looks more, but didn't find the walls were thick enough, and I wanted a little more room inside.
There are three designs to pick from:
- Basic - No top fin or camera mount, but lowest profile.
- Turtlemodefin - Fin on top to make it easier to flip over in turtle mode.
- Mobiusmount - For strapping a camera on top. In my case, a mobius mini. Check my other designs for a 0 degree mobius case I remixed.
This is my first real attempt at a pod design, at least one that I actually ended up printing. Any suggestions are welcome. One thing already on my to-do list is to make the side windows slightly larger, which will reduce material/weight and provide easier access to the USB port and buttons.
v1.2 has a larger side window. I also moved the mobius mount up a bit. v1.1 is what's in the photos with the fin. The HD camera mount (main photo) is v1.2.
Camera angle is locked at 45 degrees since this is all I personally use. If someone would like me to rework it for other angles, I can. I'm running a Runcam Swift 2 and it fits well with the included single-hole case.
