Description
I made this cage to protect BETAFPV LAVA 550 mAh 3S Li-Po batteries mounted on Pavo20 Pro. I was going to create a part to hold the annoying 3s balance cable in place but searched here and found a cage made by @DieselSLC which has a balance cable holder already (model link). Then I wanted to create cages for multiple different batteries so I created my own from scratch. Measured everything myself and improved the parts I thought could be improved. I used variables when modeling for easy edit-ability. Tried to find a good balance of durability and weight (it's about 5.8 grams).
The project of the model I have is easily editable so if there is a specific dimension you are looking for feel free to tell me (or you can edit it yourself using Onshape and the link at the bottom).
I'm using the one I printed with PLA currently but I'm gonna try TPU as well. Let me know if you have another recommendation or your experience with the material if you print it and use it heavily.
You have my permission to improve the model, share it, produce it, sell it. Just don't re-upload it without any changes (basically don't have malicious intent). I added the SolidWorks and STEP files so that you can edit easier. If you are using Onshape, you can copy and edit the entire project using the link below.
