<p>Space One FPV Formula 220 X frame arm guards AKA bumpers AKA booties. Frame is this one: <a href="https://www.spaceonefpv.com/collections/frontpage/products/f1-x-formula-one-220-x-edition">https://www.spaceonefpv.com/collections/frontpage/products/f1-x-formula-one-220-x-edition</a></p> <p>There is a right and a left version (looking down at the front two arms). Spin frame 180 and then use right and left again for the rear two arms.</p> <p>I've included a couple of design variations; lightest ones are the 12mm tall version with 1mm thick bottoms (3.75g). The thick versions have a 2mm thick bottom and come in 12mm and 16mm tall variations.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Prusa Mk2</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>10%</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>I use a extrusion multiplier of 1.05 (105%) with FoxSmart TPU. Two perimeters and 10% infill with a 0.4mm nozzle. The result is mostly solid, with a bit of extra cushion on outside area.</p> <p>I print them one at a time to minimize stringing with flex / TPU prints.</p> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p>Make sure to check your motor screws to see if they are the correct length with the arm guard installed on the arm. With the thick guard and a thick arm, you may have a hard time finding a long enough screw.</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p><strong>Inkscape to OpenSCAD</strong></p> <p>I tried some other designs, but found that they didn't exactly fit the frame arms of the version of the frame I have. So I designed my own by tracing the arm end, scanning drawing and converting to outline in Inkscape, and then to an OpenSCAD file. See <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Convert-any-2D-image-to-a-3D-object-using-OpenSCAD/">http://www.instructables.com/id/Convert-any-2D-image-to-a-3D-object-using-OpenSCAD/</a> for how to do this.</p> </p></p></p> Category: R/C Vehicles
