Description

This custom 3D-printed bottom plate is designed specifically for the Rekon 10 Pro frame. It fits below the bottom-most carbon fiber plate, providing a smooth and flat surface for securely bottom-mounting large batteries like the iFlight 8000mAh Fullsend Li-Ion battery. The design eliminates interference from screw caps while introducing an opening at the rear of the quad for an additional battery strap, ensuring a secure and balanced setup.

Key Features:

  • Secure Bottom Battery Placement: Ensures double-strapped, bottom-mounted battery stability for long-range flights.
  • Flat Bottom Surface: Removes interference from cap-head screws for smooth mounting and a secure grip.
  • Integrated Strap Slot: Rear opening allows easy looping of an additional battery strap for added security.

Printing Specifications:

  • Material: TPU
  • Infill: 100%
  • Supports: Required
  • Orientation: Print in the default orientation provided in the STL file.

Required Hardware:

  • 2 x 25mm long 3M screws

Installation Steps:

  1. Print the Bottom Plate:
    1. Use TPU material with 100% infill for strength and flexibility.
    2. Enable supports for proper printing of overhangs.
    3. Print the part in the default orientation as set in the STL file.
  2. Prepare the Frame:
    1. Remove all bottom screws securing the standoffs on the Rekon 10 Pro.
  3. Apply the Bottom Plate:
    1. Align the 3D-printed bottom plate with the frame’s standoff holes.
    2. Secure the bottom plate using the original screws for all but the two rear standoffs.
    3. For the two rear standoffs, replace the screws with the 25mm long M3 screws  to accommodate the additional bracket thickness at the rear.
  4. Add a Battery Pad:
    1. Apply your preferred battery pad to the flat TPU surface for grip.
    2. Recommended options include UMMAGRIP Universal Super Sticky Battery Pad or 3M Dual Lock Tape.
  5. Attach Battery Straps:
    1. Loop one battery strap through the bottom slit already provided by the Rekon 10 Pro frame. Loop another battery strap at the rear using the new battery loop.

Notes:

  • Ensure all screws are tightened securely to prevent any movement during flight.
  • Apply thread lock to all screws to compensate for the slight additional thickness introduced by the plate, as it may prevent screws from fully tightening.
  • Recheck screw tightness after your first flight.
  • Refer to the provided installation photos for detailed guidance.
