FrSky Horus X10S Express Shell Replacement

Hello.

I purchased an FrSky Horus X10S Express to use as my main RC transmitter, but sadly didn't like the feel of the stock shell shape in my hands, after being a long time JR user.

So I set about modelling all the internal details to hold the various electronic components such as the gimbals, the main PCB, screen, along with all the switches and knobs.

What you see here is the end result, which I feel is much nicer to hold than the stock shell. This can also be used as a replacement for a broken shell.

You get the front facia and mid-section combiend into one print, then all the main components secure insdie of this. There is two side pot wheels which have been shaped to miss the gimbals. Speaking of gimbals these are now mounted 4mm lower within the case than the stock Horus shell for better geometry in the stick movement.

The back panel consists of three parts, the main panel, the external RF module cup which needs to be glued into the recess on the back of the main panel and the battery hatch cover.

There is also Corel Draw files of the side and rear foam grips which felt were better than the raised printed grips.

Any questions please do give me a shout and I will do my best to help guide you.
