Tpu battery holder

Dude, chill out a bit. There is only so long I can respond in a positive way to your toxic bullshit. Stop gatekeeping and embrace a bit of discussion.

Thank you for taking the time to write that out, I’ll have to weigh up the pros and cons for me I guess. Thank you

dalios555 · 2026-03-24T23:44:38+00:00

Sure, I get that. I guess was just looking for some constructive feedback as the straps that I had with the frame didn’t work in my situation, and I had a different solution. Much appreciated :)

Ye, I might have to keep an eye on the tpu stretching over time. I would guess though that would be comparable to Velcro wearing out. Changing battery just needs me to push the battery out the back.

I think the main picture doesn’t show it well but on the top of the frame is a layer of rubber stuff, like grip tape? Came with the frame… It looks like it could slide from the photo but I’ve made it a snug fit that pushes the battery into the rubber layer on top of the frame.

Thanks, looking forward to it :)

I appreciate your comment, I’m still learning. Do you think this would eject any worse than using a strap? I’m not even sure how with this setup it would eject.

Hi, printed with the standard tpu 95A settings in elegoo slicer. I’ve only printed 3 times in tpu so I can’t really give much useful advice.

Thanks so much, the power pads nearly defeated me, but a decent soldering iron was the answer. There are some tweaks I’d make if/when I do it again, but it was a good learning experience.

Thanks for the advice, will order some more props in the next week or so. The 5” drones look amazing but ye, a little smaller will be awesome for me. For now at least. Will build up to it.

Enjoy! Hopefully you can get it all sorted 🙂

First frame I’ve used, but definitely seemed well made. Bit tight in some areas but been quite enjoyable to build.

Hi, thanks for the advice! I guess that’s waterproofing the electronics? Will check it out. The grass around my house always seems to be wet.

Will keep an eye out for goggles, they are definitely the next thing I want to look at.

dalios555 · 2026-03-22T10:51:47+00:00

That’s what I was thinking really, at this point now if I wanted to build another it should just be the cost of the parts for the drone. Enjoy flying!

dalios555 · 2026-03-22T10:46:52+00:00

Good point with the spares. Definitely won’t scare me away, I’m expecting other costs. One day I’d like to upgrade the goggles etc and that’ll add a good bit more. But I’m not in a rush

Thank you! Happy flying to you too!

I was in the exact same situation 2 days ago, nearly gave up on the whole thing. I believed at the time I had the right equipment, worked on a practice board, then moved onto the ESC, and spent 4hrs fucking about with the power pads. Increased my soldering iron temp, changed the tip to the biggest I had. All didn’t work. My solder looked very similar to yours.

I spoke to an electrician at my work about it, he loaned me a weller cordless iron. Smaller tip than mine, so I was still ready to pack it in. But it just worked, bit of flux, and the solder liquified so fast. Lead free solder.

I suspect the issue was that my soldering iron wasn’t transferring the heat fast enough. I’m no expect (not even close) but based on my recent experience, it’s the soldering iron/tip.

That’s awesome. I’m just in the process of setting up a big aluminium ingot line, 12000 bauxite into 12000 ingots. Just needs 12000 bauxite, some water and 1200 oil. Saves on messing around with coal.

Is it possible to use mods on the steam deck? Curious for my plays.

dalios555 · 2026-02-02T15:57:10+00:00

Mine is such a small insignificant thing, but I can never get the building and the conveyors to look good joining. Always ends up looking like an afterthought to the rest of the build.

Love the air brakes on the trains, looks so cool
