was looking for a hardpoint for mounting my fpv antenna in an Eflite Opterra or any foam plane. The idea is to apply hot glue and press into the foam then drill out the center. The center is 6.7mm which is just wide enough for a tight fit for the sma extension from the vtx. then you can screw the nut on the extension and it is hard mounted. I first printed it in PLA and then tried PETG for the first time- the initial design had the teeth breaking off very easily, so I modified the design with .5mm thicker teeth.. they still broke so I obviously had something else wrong- I printed with my PLA settings. Had a quick look on the internet and realized that I needed to turn off my layer cooling fan and the next one came out strong. I could probably go back to the original design and be fine with PLA, but uploaded them both anyway
