I wanted to get GPS going on my whoop for reasons. I saw the GM10 nano already comes with a cool mount (TPU FLYLENS 85 T Antenna & NANO GPS Mount.STL), but it doesn't fit the existing monopole antenna mounting mechanism on the flylens 75.

I made a modification to add the gps mount to the existing mount (TPU FLYLENS 85 3.5MM 5.8G Antenna Mount.STL)

Printing instructions:

  • Must use TPU (the design relies on the squishiness, particularly for inserting the GPS into the holder)
  • Usual TPU instructions apply to avoid oozing (low speed, dry filament, try to avoid retractions, fast travel, possibly lower temperature). This is especially important between the towers as the constant hops are a magnet for whiskers. Optimized pathing (where it does 2 layers before moving to the next island) like Simplify3D might help, but unfortunatelly cura doesn't seem to support it.
  • Take care on the overhang near the back of the model, this is important for holding the gps unit.
  • Make sure model is cleaned up

Installation instructions:

  • Unscrew the outer screws 
    • 2 side
    • 1 in between 2 antennas on the old holders
    • 1 small philips near the front, underneath
  • Remove old holder, remove antennas from old holder (careful: they're delicate, remove from the ufl connector if needed)
  • Cut GPS wires/harness to about 1 inch long
  • Take apart more of the quadcopter to solder GPS wires to flight controller, assemble it back to this step
  • Plan gps wire path so it stays clear of antennas and propellers. I put mine through the wire organizer that's included on the holder (on the sides underneath the antennas).
  • Install GPS module in holder (this is easier at this step
  • Re-install RC and video antennas in the old position. Take this opportunity to slightly bend them away from eachother to improve video link.
  • Install new holder on the plastic cylinder
  • Line up quadcopter frame and screw it back together
