I've been working on a tether av bay for an Eggtimer Tx. It also has a space for a Eggtimer WiFi swich and Lipo battery. It assembles and by sliding in a 54 mm tube and friction fitting on a kevlar harness. It has a laser plywood cut lid.

The two big holes on top are for threaded inserts.

Here is the Onshape CAD design (You need to have an OnShape account to view it):

Here is print of my first design. Didn't quite allow enough room for the terminal blocks. The new 3d CAD models of Eggtimer products will allow me to do a more precise design. Also, probably cant fit all the wiring in there.IMG_0901.JPG

Here is a 2nd version. The enclosure is split into thirds without a base. I think I like the base.IMG_1002.JPG

Back to my first rev. Making the compartments bigger. Adding a lid.

Here is how the two units will fit -stacked. If I omit the middle terminal block on the wifi switch, they should fit
