RC airplane wing skid / servo protection

thingiverse

Have servos mounted under your flying wing? Need to protect a bottom-mounted battery pack? You need a couple quick and easy skids to keep your delicate parts safe. As provided, about 25mm from base to top, not including spikes. 3.2mm thick with 2mm thick spikes. I printed the first one with single skin layers top and bottom, infill at 20% but it wasn't as strong as I would like (PLA). The next few I've been printing two skin layers top/bottom with 25% infill and they're just registering about 2g each - and very strong! Make a slit in your foam matching the part's spikes, use CA or gorilla glue in the hole and a little on each spike. Hold in place or use CA/kicker or hot glue to keep it from moving while it sets. Done!
