Description

This cover was made per the specifications for a CH-701 p/n 7-V-1-3A Pitot Static Welded Assembly, however, I believe the same assembly is used on other models. I printed it with PLA+ using tree bridging for 85° or more and sliced it to determine at what layer I needed to switch filament colors and added that to the g-code to stop at that layer. Included is a "puck" placed near the X=0 and Y=0 coordinates so that when I change filaments the globbiness and the color mix will purge on the throwaway puck before going to the cover and printing the "Removed Before Flight" text. The Bridging is needed for the lower surface of the grab tang where the streamer eyelet is. To clean up the "fuzz" from the bridging I hit it lightly with a small butane torch.
