This is a quick development of a neck strap balancer for the Devo 7E.
I am sure people can use it for other radios.
To print(I print with Repetier-Host):
1.Rotate the part to lay it flat (-90deg X-axis)
- Create a copy of the part.
- Mirror the copy part.
Note:
- The mounting hole is along the X-axis. Thats how it was my devo 7E and I decided to keep it that way. Please feel free to change it.
- You will need a small piece of steel wire(~1.5mm dia) , some CA glue and a M3x10mm screw and nut to assemble.
- You should be able to snap the part out of the radio after removing the M3 screw.
Key Features:
- The concept of using metals or other materials to augment the process of FDM 3d printing interests me. Hence this design.
- Prints really quick(20min) without support.
The direction of the layers ensures that the part has maximum functional strength.

Assembly
The images should enable you to get some idea of assembly.
Some tips:
- Always test-fit the piece before applying CA.
- The clamping hob that fits into the M6 hole on the R/C radio may need to be sanded a bit to allow for easy snap removal of the part. (if you desire to remove it multiple times)
- If the wire groove is not a perfect fit, use a hot soldering iron to nudge the wire piece into the grooves.
How I Designed This
===================
Philosophy!
- The concept of using metals or other materials to augment the process of FDM 3d printing interests me. I call this 'mechanical composites'. Hence this design.
- Prints really quick(20min) without support.
- The direction of the layers ensures that the part has maximum functional strength.
