Start of work on electronics bay interior design for the Panda. I'm sure it will change quite a bit in the coming week or two, but this is a good start.

Updated to include almost all conduits for wiring and cording.
Added vent slats for phone to dissipate heat.
Added circuitboard risers for backup electronics controller (side facing away from camera).
Reduced size of flat section for backup electronics controller to better match circuitboard (side facing away from camera).
Slightly increased diameter of entire object.
Printing a prototype now, the test print has everything but the vent slats.

Prototype currently printing with vent slats.
Scaffolding (left side ), some in view cylinder (right), and of course some at the bottom will be removed once print job is complete.

Build volume is nice Freddy, enough to print that storm trooper helmet I made :-)

Part fits snug and ideal! I'll try to post a video when less tired.

I'll test all my wiring to make sure everything fits, make minor adjustments to the model, and then hopefully one more print for final.

For reference, build volume is 320mm W (12.5 in)x300mm D (11.8 in) x340mm H (13.3 in)

That specific part is 275mm on the long axis.

I'm fairly certain this is the final revision and will be rigged and installed in the rocket.
Changes:

Battery containment moved down slightly(for switches) and widened at top (for battery connectors).
In space above battery containment, I created blocks for two heavy duty switches that will engage the flight computers.
Additional conduits created to support the switches.
Rotated and increased vertical space for backup flight computer 90 degrees as there simply wasn't enough room to fit inside enclosure the way I had it.
Adjusted angle of conduits below battery containment area due to less space.
