OMG... the new DB Cowling design.

Closed this issue · 3 comments

The old one with the markers was a better design and his functionality was very good ;-)

Thanks for the input. I agree the new ones are a bit fugly.
Moved away from main branch for now.

So there are two cahnges I'm trying to do with this:

  • move the hook points further apart for better docked stability.
  • allow for ~1mm tolerance in all directions.

Let me know if you have some ideas how to better get there.

I sketched up an alternative. Kinda a middle ground between all form and all function.
Will test print and upload.
Let me know if you have ideas.

The look and feel of the old version with the markers has a high-quality and friendly appearance:

Two things i have done per hand to have a super functionality:

a. i have make the front holes a little bit greater, 6,5mm.

b. I cut the plastic spacers for the suspension bolts on the park mount a little conically so that the plastic remains behind the bolt and the Dragonburner doesn't bump into it.

This allows the cowling to slide easily over the screw into position.
