Just wondering what people have found useful for RC, fpv, and tools in the shop.

Before you know it you will be printing all sorts of things. We have many silly things around the office like cell phone holders and little brackets for our planes, etc. I think you will find all sorts of uses for it. Soon your family will keep you busy with items they would like.

Printed some little elbows that hold a fpv antenna 90 if it doesnt have the cable
that holds itself in place. Also i liked the little diy fatshark battery packs from 18650's so much i made a second one.

I've found that stuff to solve a particular problem or make a build cleaner make the the most satisfying prints for me.

At the moment im still getting used to my machine and looking for things to print that i could use, not really solving specific problems yet, but i want to design some parts soon.

Do you 3D print a slightly smaller hole or are you drilling it after you print?

Slightly smaller hole. There is a machined installation tool that you put into a soldering iron and when hot you just push the insert down into the hole.

Thanks for the info, i will file that away for later. I have done it the other way by heating up some 3d printed sma nuts with a heat gun slightly and pushing my fpv antenna onto it. But thats not really a structural part.
