** Update 4-12-2015 Gimbal version is here - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:768744 If you have one of these, you know the OEM landing gear breaks very easily. Rather than keep epoxying it back or buying new ones, I decided to make up a printable set. In the interest of trying to keep it strong and printing with the grain, I designed it in two pieces, The mount itself is in one piece, but mortises into the landing skids tenons..I made the fit snug to account for different printers, but you can file it down a bit if needed. You can glue it, but I find the snug fit sufficient to keep it in place. Yes, I know the side view looks like a normal front or rear view, but it's the best I can do based on the current design. You'll get used to it! (Update: I added a V2 skid that is curved so that it better represents the forward direction) I printed with PLA at 0.3mm, with 3 shells and 15% fill, and the whole gear weighs in at 59 gms, which is about 15 gms less than the original. Best of all, if it breaks, print another one!
