To use this design you need a vacuform in addition to a 3D printer. They are super easy to make, watch this video to see how I made mine. https://youtu.be/DWWq2hH7imA
I designed a way to cover the delicate FPV electronics from crashes with this impossibly tough canopy design. This is the BUCK to vacuform plastic around so that you can make the thin plastic pieces that cover the whoop. THE 3D PRINTED PIECES DO NOT GET MOUNTED TO THE WHOOP!
I also had a hard time pulling the plastic off the buck after I had vacuformed the plastic plate onto it. So I figured out that if I add a small hole and shoot air up into the buck it pops the plastic off without any hassle of prying. (See pictures)
This canopy was designed to be used on top of this mount to hold the camera and VTX here: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/51373
