I haven’t really had any time to work on this, but here is what I threw together:

GIF

The design integrates the LED module into a board via an “x thing” style plate that doubles as a washer for truck mounting screws. The design is intended to be used with m5 socket cap screws since I seriously hate stripping hardware. The LED module is attached via 2 small m2.6 screws threaded directly into the 3d printed plastic (I would likely use super glue to attach these). If waterproofing was needed, silicone or perhaps hot glue could be used to encase the LED module, making removal difficult but hopefully unnecessary. Wires for the LED module would likely be routed downwards through a small hole drilled in the deck, but a slight modification to the design would allow the cables to come out on top of the deck as well.

TL;DR - This is an “x thing” with an integrated battery indicator.

note: only compatible with the EL1/EL2 version of the battery indicator

Here’s a simple solution to replicate the oem setup:

7mm Riser Pad

(minimum height possible)

Consists of:

  • Top Plate, 4.5mm thick, with cutout for Hoyt PCB and LED holes
  • Bottom Plate, 2.5mm thick, with interlocking positive extrusion
  • Nice easy fit between features for printers of all accuracy levels
  • Initially locate PCB via two “mounting studs” on Bottom Plate
  • Assembly secured via existing truck bolts, sandwich between deck and baseplate
  • Old and New School patterns

Requires:

  • Qty 5x 4mm holes drilled in deck to see LEDs

Shoutout to @PixelatedPolyeurthan for the excellent model. Although beware the connector is not exactly in the right place / size, per the drawing.

Carve is a perfectly valid reason to be late on submissions haha

Hoyt Waterpoof-able LED Panel Mount

Nice little assembly for mounting to the interior of an enclosure. Makes wiring stupid simple direct to ESC. Can see the LED indicator lights on the side of an underslung enclosure.

18.3mm W x 61.7mm L x 8.2mm T

  • 2 part design: Face and Back
  • Both can be printed without support
  • Back has pockets for captured nuts for ease of assembly
  • Face has chamfered holes for applying a little silicone adhesive to seal off against water intrusion
  • Recommended to use 2x button head alloy steel M2x12 fasteners and 2x M2 alloy steel hex nuts (washers optional)

Will there be a voting thread for this like the BOTY competition?

Makes more sense to have a separate thread where you can just see the posts but alright lol

There’s fluff between them, might not be quite as fair

We will make a post that quotes everyone’s entry to make it easier.

If you guys still want a poll, then we can add a poll to that post also. Just don’t wanna make more threads than absolutely necessary
