TBS Podracer / BetaFPV Twig / BetaFPV X-Knight Canopy for Walksnail 1S Lite VTX board

If you like it - please click ‘Like’ and download to support my designs ;-).

Using PnP version make sure there is silicone dumpers on both VTX board sides so the board DO NOT TOUCH canopy or screw. If you can use metal nuts (not nylon) if not using silicone dumpers. The best idea is to use stock rubber dumpers, but it is really hard to put them into board holes. I'm using nylon and 8 dumpers - no problems with heat.

Notes

• remix of original STL for TBS Source Podracer 5 inch frame Canopy adapted for other, smaller frames and Walksnail VTX 1s Lite
• several versions, different heights, including version with m2 insert holes and also RX mount inside canopy (use ziptie to mount it)
• raised canopy legs and adapted side holes to handle second 25x25 board (for VTX)
• extended side space for 14x14 camera to less aggressive FPV camera angle (25-30 degrees)
• mount holes replaced by slot-like shape to more flexible camera position (2-3 mm extra margin)
• adapted Walksnail VTX stock antenna mount, no zip tie required, just push antenna to mount hole
• cut proper fragment to have USB plug accessible for VTX recordings or FW update
• custom supports for non-support printing (easy to remove after print)
• PlugAndPlay version has ELRS antenna mount (working with RadioMaster 2.4GHz dipole, but it should be good enough for other antennas)
