Update 12/4/2016: Added a new versions which requires no support. The B part is the top of the puck or dome.
Update: 12/4/2016: This dome is made for the M8N from rtfquads.com.http://www.readytoflyquads.com/mini-ublox-m8n-gps-w-35x35mm-mounting-backplane-and-compass
Update: 12/2/2016 Slightly modified the dome. Removed some material from around the base except where the holes are located because shrinkage is causing the shape to deform a little.
The original dome on the CX-20 (Quanum Nova) houses the compass but does not readily house the M8N replacement GPS/Compass combo. For this I created this simple dome. I printed it on a clone of the Makerbot Replicator Dual using PLA Clear. The walls are very thin in spots so I slowed it down to 30 mm/s. The dome that fits on top is thicker at the bottom to accommodate the female holes. Use hot glue to secure the GPS and maybe just a little hot glue on two of the holes to secure the two parts together. This weighed 15 grams when cleaned up.
PLA or ABS, Layer .15 and Support On for the dome.
