Upper and lower body shells
About 10 mm below the surrounding edge cut the upper shell along the marked line with a pair of
scissors. For the hover motor mount make a circular cut out in the front area along the ledge. Be-
fore proceeding to the next steps we recommend painting the shell from the underside with suitable
spray paint (i.e. Lexan® paint) or by airbrushing it (protect the outside surface with masking tape). By
spraying from the underside you will achieve a high gloss and scratch proof surface. After the paint
is completely dry, glue the hover motor mount with crazy glue (CA glue) or epoxy glue from above in
place.
Cut on the inside along the edge with the razor blade knife before trimming the lower shell. As the
lower shell is made of ABS plastic you may remove the excess material by simply bending it back
and forth a few times.
Now check out if the lower shell snaps easily into the upper shell. To increase the “snap effect” you
may bend the lower rim of the upper shell slightly towards the inside.
With a tapered drill cut the air release openings
at the molded-in points by hand (alternatively
you may also use a soldering iron). We do not
recommend using a conventional drill as it
would just rip the material apart.
