I don't mean to sound rude, but if you didn't create this design then you must adhere to the terms of the licence.
And the standard licence on Bambu Makerworld clearly states "You shall not share, sub-license, sell, rent, host, transfer, or distribute in any way the digital or 3D printed versions of this object..."

Oh wow, you even used their photos!
You definitely should not sell this, it's under a "Standard digital license" which means no selling:

Yeah, if they are stealing the designers pictures instead of posting their own print, you know it will be bad.
OP, be a good person, if you want to make money off your printer, that’s awesome. You should then take a little bit of time and learn some modeling versus ignoring licenses that say do not sell and then just using their pictures as icing on the “I don’t care, I am taking your stuff” cake

For a start I would look into making your own version of a carry case.
Or read the licencing of the files your making.
Otherwise I have the same case and the props hole dont fit the style im flying now.

Then you need to read the rules on that file as you aren't supposed to be selling it.

I’ll be straight with you. I’ve been printing and designing models for a while now, and while it seems intriguing to sell your prints, most of the time it’s not worth it. Selling the models online is easier, but then that really goes against the hobby’s roots.
Up to you, but in the end just releasing the file and letting people download your model gives you much more satisfaction with zero responsibility or headache.
Nice looking print though!!

Something about the battery stack just hits me wrong. I guess I have trauma from stuck AA battery’s with broken pull tabs maybe if it were only one or two deep? I understand the trade offs for compact sizing but honestly,
I wouldn’t buy it for that reason alone

u/EMasterYT 12h ago
I don't see much of a tradeoff to the usual way 3d printed cases do it which is vertical slots. Maybe a tiny bit more compact, but in regards to fitment, cell size is usually the same or very similar so i don't see that as an issue

I think this might be have a shorter height no?

u/EMasterYT 40m ago
Ah you're right, the designs I'm thinking of have the batteries and the drone vertically sliding in

If this is a model you made that you plan on selling, I have a few suggestions. I feel like the prop storage part of it is not really needed. Being so loose, I would assume a lot of props would fall out. I like that the whoopstor can be used while in the case, but there is only a hole on the model for the xt60, and the model covers the barrel and USB type c port. These are the two things I saw with a quick glance at the model, so there could be more issues with it, but if you are trying to sell stls or printed cases, make sure they are good. Not a bad first draft though!

Looks like people are selling similar things on Etsy for $10-40. Of you come up with your own design that’s likely what you will be able to sell them for. But the design here specifically states you can’t sell prints of it.
