FT Powerpod with built-in firewall, designed to minimize weight and to fit in all printers. Assembling is really easy, but it should be done very gently. This assembly doesn't require gluing!!. I personally only use the front section with my Swappables (I wonder why did they make it so long??), so consider using the front part only (one less thing to print + less weight overall)

I'm looking for constructive feedback so I can make the design better, please feel free to leave a comment with your suggestion.

Printing instructions:
I used PLA, 0.2 resolution and 10% infill, make sure you use external and internal supports.

Assembly instructions:
Gently spread the walls of the front section by the ends of the pod while compressing the walls of the back section and slide them together. If you do it slowly and carefully it will slide together and stay snug! (Don't rush it and make sure you don't press or separate the parts more than necessary as you risk to break them)

UPDATES:
After using this pod for a while (and crashing it for a while) I feel I have collected enough information to make V2, the only cons of this version is weight...
V2: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:826394

Should I use V1 or V2? well, that depends, I feel V2 has a lot of improvements over V1 (like standard 28 sie motor mounting holes) but it will not be as strong. (keep this in mind if you crash alot).

Please share your feedback, so I can make this design better!
