Real Drone landing gear!

thingiverse

This is the first version of my Real Drone Landing gear. all the items i have seen for drones look to isolate the vibrations and impackt locally on a per system basis, this however while doing nothing for vibration does soften the impact from new fliers and otherwise harsh crash landings. the design uses a single Traxxas tmaxx shock per lander and is fully foldable with a servo. Since this is the first design it is no where near perfect and i have currently abandoned it for a larger better version seeing as my drone will weigh about 45 lbs. ive included the last revision blenderfile. its a mess but all the parts are there for your pleasure. (maybe not hers XD) prototype worked but i needed bigger and better more customizable. stay tuned for version 2 Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: prusa i3 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: .08 Infill: 100 Notes: do it how you want but know that this will take the brunt of the force when landing... just saying. How I Designed This blender... the foot design i am proud of it reminds me of early 90's mechanized war suits (mechs) so basically to assemble attach ankle joint of the foot with a 4 mm bolt to the truss, then pop the top of the truss into the servo bracket, install servo with two screws and then use servo horn screw to lock down the truss to the servo. then un bolt your drone motor and apply to underside of arm using langer 3mm hardware. works on most drones that use arms with X pattern to attach motors from the bottom :)
