Nazgul Eco XL5 Side Plates - Stack + VTX
Print Profile(2)


Description
Remix changes:
I fixed the position of the USB-C-Port hole, because it was ~1mm off in each direction and extended the design to also encapsulate the rear of the frame that holds the VTX in the analog XL5 eco (2024), while staying compatible with all preinstalled components.
I also rotated the model upside down, so the user does not have to do so to minimize the need for supports.
Description:
These side panels encapsulate the stack in the middle and the rear end where the VTX ist installed in the bind'n'fly Nazgul XL5 Eco without removing any preinstalled components (besides the top plate to access the central standoffs). The tolerance towards the rear props is quite slim (see picture), but it should be enough not to hit it.
The model lies on it's top to minimize the need for supports.
I printed it in Sunlu PLA+ with 0.2mm layer height, 0.4mm nozzle, aligned seams, scarf all around the entire wall, arachne walls, 2 perimeters, concentric top & bottom patterns, 15% gyroid infill, auto default tree supports, but only critical regions (the USB hole should print fine without supports) and you can keep “remove small overhangs” on.
V2
The V2 model is an iteration I did after flying in the woods. I noticed, that after a crash the rear battery strap could slide under the panel causing it to slightly bend away from the frame, causing the rear end to collide with the rear props.
I trimmed the rear and angled it inwards a little to make the tail end more flush with the frame, cut the top rear corner out and did some tweaking to the mesh geometry.
Now the side panel should give the props more clearance, even after a crash!
I printed it in SUNLU PETG this time around, because I ran out of black PLA+. Should work all the same (see new pictures)
