My FPV goggles have no internal battery, they need to be run off a 2s-8s LiPo or 5v from a USB port. This lets me use a reasonably safe power supply instead of strapping a raw lipo to my body.

Panties droppin' everywhere

We've got belt clips for those too!

This is wildly more effective than a condom at STI and pregnancy prevention

Beautiful in its simplicity.

I like Unix-y things, do one job well.

Have you considered sharing the design on Thingiverse or some other 3d model sharing site? Apologies if you do not prefer to give your work out for free.

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

I post most of the stuff I make to Thingiverse, this one was so niche I didn't think any one would want it.

FreeCAD, not the easiest but I like it.

[-] einlander@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I use it too. I'm now learning to cope with how it doesn't have a tool for external threads

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

I just use the helix pad and a triangle.

Next iteration: flame-activated, spring-powered emergency eject system. Thinking of that Chinese EV that responds to thermal runaway by trying to take out bystanders with burning batteries. No witnesses, no embarrassing news story.

Mabe for my 4s drone, one good crash can turn it into Johnny Storm.

For some reason, seeing a holster for something so beefy reminded me of this scene in the movie hook.

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's damned near that beefy. I should holster all the things!

[-] exaybachae@startrek.website 2 points 2 weeks ago

Are you in a movie theater?

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

I have a 'game' room.

[-] Trilogy3452@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

What material did you print it with?

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago

PETG, because it'll likely get some direct sunlight. I would have used ABS but my venting window is snowed in.

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 weeks ago

Just keep in mind PETG isn't strictly UV resistant. A later reprint with ASA would be better.

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago

I was thinking of softening but that's a good point. Ill probably do it in ABS if it fails in PETG.

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

ABS is even less UV resistant. 😅
