Blade 300X/CFX Tail Fin Set

thingiverse

I wanted to be able to print out a set of fins for my Blade 300X helicopter that maintained a somewhat stock look, allowing me to control the color and material. I drew up this set of fins and printed a yellow set in PLA. I found that I could lighten the vertical fin a bit so I tweaked the drawing and then printed the black set you see on the helicopter in ABS. The picture shows the black ABS on the heli, the stock OEM white fins and yellow PLA fins in the foreground. I wanted to share the design for those seeking a printed fin option. Be sure to flip both fins so the mounting boss that faces the helicopter is up. Enjoy. Update: I've added an updated vertical fin (vertical fin 2) that has a profile that is closer to the stock fin. It's a little thicker, so it weighs a bit more as well as being slightly stronger.
