In this lesson, we'll work on locating the flight controller.
you'll be able to use sketch slice and project an edge.
sure we have a positive location for the flight controller.
difficult because we have the power distribution board underneath it.
even though it wouldn't be able to be manufactured in any other way.
the power distribution word in and that we can hold the flight controller.
holding down the left mouse button and selecting that face and creating a new sketch.
we can see exactly where the edge of the power distribution board is.
And I want to select it, and hit P to project it into our sketch.
using move copy and that will not go back and retroactively update the sketches.
They have to fall in line in the timeline.
So I generally avoid it unless I have a very good reason.
I'm not going to be moving anything else around.
the power distribution board is about where I want it.
by sketching a rectangle and I want to make sure that this rectangle is coincident.
But I want to make sure that it's coincident with the correct points.
a certain location and I don't like where it's trying to snap to.
make sure that I snapped to this end location point.
going to zoom in or drag it until it snaps to the end of that line.
And that way it's fully defined.
to have to carry this wall up pretty far.
I'm going to make it a bit thicker.
come down and I want to take away some material.
the structure I need without having all the additional weight.
three millimeters and I'm going to dimension this one in as well at three millimeters.
Then, I want to take this and I'm going to make this three as well.
removing that much but it's still enough that it could potentially make a difference.
that I have a positive stop for the front of the flight controller.
over to the receiver from the ground station from the controller.
here but I have a little bit more freedom on the right hand side.
five millimeters and I'm going to give this a distance of three millimeters.
is actually a plug and then there are going to be cables coming out of it.
enough room to let this float back and forth if we need to.
So we have enough flexibility here.
Now, this section is going to come all the way up.
the one side but we only want to add the geometry that we need to make this happen.
come and take this edge and I want to come out a bit farther with this one and say okay.
eight here and I'm going to leave that as a solid block.
the side here to make sure that this fits nicely.
a nice tight fit and that I positively locate this end here.
the backside because it is over the power distribution board.
going to use double sided tape or maybe something else to fix it here.
make sure that everything flies like it's supposed to.
for the bottom side so it has something to rest on as well.
that reference edge and we're going to go ahead and we're going to draw a rectangle.
I'm just going to simply come down and then I can snap to this edge right here.
these two coincident I'm going to do the same thing on the other side.
reuse that same sketch and we can extrude this section up.
the Micro CC3D and we're going to create an extrude.
to object and see the inside face.
we want to make sure that we go back to the last sketch.
In this case, it's Sketch26.
the micro CC3D and see how far up they actually need to go.
We will need to account for the thickness of whatever double sided tape we'll be using.
Now in this case, it's going to be less than a millimeter.
we should have a nice positive location.
I'm going to go in this case to minus 10 and I'm going to say okay.
why don't I just go ahead and wrap this all the way around.
they can flex a little bit.
I'm making sure that it goes in and it doesn't hang up on those edges.
open but for right now I want to make sure that I account for that.
You also notice that we have some slight interference with the power distribution board.
the power distribution board can actually go in multiple orientations.
for it so I am going to cut some of this material away.
we can do it a few different ways.
simply take this extrude and move it back a little bit.
a look at it from the top and see if I have enough clearance here.
and I go back to one and half.
an extrude on this face by creating a new sketch.
And notice that what I have from my options are create sketch and extrude.
away everything in front of that sketch plane.
I can select that entire edge and I can bring it in minus 2 millimeters.
down and I'll do this on the other side as well.
then rotate it back and I want to extrude this out.
I'll hold on the left mouse button.
But what I want to do is I want to actually take that through.
need to have all that material there and I'm going to cut through that.
So let's go and save this so we don't lose any of our work and move on to the next step.
