Introduction

This collection of 3D print parts are specifically designed to fit the StrixRC Stratosurfer, sold by ReadyMadeRC. These have all been printed and most have been flight tested. Please see the Stratosurfer Build Page for more pictures and information.

Many of the parts found here are also on my Thingiverse pages although since all parts are published here first, this is where you will find the most current versions. As on Thingiverse, everything found here is protected by Copyright and licensed under the terms of the Creative Commons "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International" license.

General Print Notes

1. Most parts are shown printed in PushPlastics ABS filament

2. Motor mount and front & rear skids are printed at 80% infill, all others are 20-40%

3. All weights are as printed and subject to change depending on printer/slicer set-up

4. Print orientation is dependent on printer/slicer set-up, please rotate if necessary

Canopy's

The three canopies shown here were a bit of a challenge to get right but I finally succeeded at getting good prints with some possible restrictions. Of these, the shorter versions which fit into the foam front piece print fine in PLA, ABS and PETG. THe longer canopy had issues with cracking in the rear when printing in ABS. This may have more to do with my printer but thought it was worth mentioning here. In PLA and PETG, the long canopy prints very well

Stock Canopy Replacements

If you want to simply replace the foam canopy with something that creates a lot of room for gear and can be "dremmel customized" for any camera opening the plain version of this will do the job. It is designed with a thickness of 1.4mm and has a beveled edge, similar to the foam piece to more closely fit the foam base. It is held down with a simple screw plate that can be attached using wood screws or glue.

In addition to the plain canopy there is a version which has a mount deck. The mount deck is a four bolt platform that suits most of my Pan and Tilt and Roll Gimbal attachments

Image	Part Number	Part Description	Weight	Print File	Compatibility Notes
	52150	Std Canopy, Plain	25g	52150.STL	A canopy which can be cut to fit cameras, etc.
	52149	Std Canopy with Attachment Deck	27g	52149.STL	Fits the lightweight pan and tilts and roll gimbal
	52148	Small Canopy Mount Plate	3.5g	52148.STL	Mount to hold the small canopy in place

Low Profile Canopies

If you want to streamline the front of the Stratosurfer you can use the canopies shown below. They both sit lower than the stock set-up by 16mm and have a flatter top. To properly fit these you must do some foam carving & finishing on both the foam base piece and the wing mount. An alternative to carving the foam wing mount is to use the low profile wing mount pieces further down this page. The small canopy is mounted with the same screw mount as the stock replacement (above). The long canopy has a screw on front clip/mount to hold the front end down and a spring latch at the rear.

Low Profile Wing & Motor Mount Parts

The following parts will make the plane even more streamlined and additionally allow the use of larger props up to 8" without fear of failing the mount or cutting the fuselage. Pictures below shown with a full size Mobius C camera for size comparison.
