Antigravity ATX30

Installed with 3D printed bracket.
This bracket is a modified version of one I found on NSX Prime.

Glad to see it getting some use and that looks sharp in red, especially with those clamps. PET-G I presume? Other print settings?

For reference, here is the original Prime thread with the links for the design and the .stl

Thread 'Save another pound: Ultra lightweight AntiGravity battery mount (or other LiFePO4)'

19 April 2024

Note: some pictures show several different versions I made during the design phase. The Final pic (2024 July 31) shows the current design that is on Thingiverse.

For battery weight, it's probably fair to consider the weight of the battery holder as well. I decided to design my own ultralight battery mount for the AntiGravity ATX-30RS, (My previous PET-G battery bar for the 51R (Zanardi) battery saves a pound over the OEM battery bar, on top of the 9 lb savings with the 51R battery, and also avoids the shorting battery bar problem that @centerpunch noted.)...

You've thinned out a couple of sections, so keep a close eye on it for twisting. BTW, removing that section like you'd do for an injection-moulded plastic doesn't help with 3D printed stuff unless you're printing solid. I printed at 15% infill. I initially had a similar void, but it was twisting slightly when I installed it and, when I compared, there was very little plastic saved with the void, so I eliminated it.
