R/C Plane electronics enclosure

Here is a great example of a customer request for printing an existing design. We were asked to print this electronics case in the lightest, strongest form possible for use on a radio controlled airplane. The .stl's came from thingiverse and we used blue ABS. Total weight is less than 4 grams and the ABS is very sturdy. The custom enclosure keeps everything safe for flight for the customer in a bright blue color for just $7.50! 


We printed a couple versions of the part as we are trying to perfect our raft-less printing techniques on our newest 3D printer. Our experiments with Kapton tape on perf-board are working pretty well, but we still had a little bit of warp-age on the bottom. For the deliverable print we went to our older machine that is tried and trued for ABS with a glass printing bed. The Plus 2 has an open build platform, it looks like we will have to make an enclosure to help regulate temperature while printing.
