So today I spent 9 hours making ECU holders for the omex. Just random universal ones. The only one available is a carbon fibre one from spoox for 60 quid so thought I could do better than that. Came up with the three designs below but sadly each came to at least 50 quid to print. The legs have lines built in so that they can be snapped off easily. Bolt holes are M4. Anyway a nice thing for people who want them. Seeing as a budget printer is the best part of 500 ill probably wait until I get my own instead of shelling out 50 quid for one!
Version 1 - Clip in Style

Its frustrating yet therapeutic to design these. The best part is obviously when the finished product arrives and you realise youve designed it and now it exists as a real object. I reckon I could do it quicker with some paid for software but right now 123D Design is pretty good.
