Flying compass for front reserve

1

Happy christmas everyone,
I’ve just completed my compass, which is intended to be placed on my front reserve’s velcro pad. It uses a module from Suunto (SK-8/ORCA CAPSULE NH), and should be able to keep North during cruise flying ( it can work up to an angle of 20°).

Anyway, if some wants to try it as well, feel free to print it in Tpu :

Interesting :+1:
Top clear is TPU as well?

No, that’s the clear plastic casing of the compass modules. On diving watches it is intended to be used on, there can be such a protection but it seems too bulky here for flying.
It worked like a charm on my morning flight today :
