Assorted Hovership MHQ Arm Concepts

thingiverse

As I waited for parts to arrive via mail delivery, I got bored and started experimenting with various design approaches for the Hovership Folding arms, exploring different sizes, shapes, and styles. Some folds turned out much better than others, while some designs intentionally avoided folding altogether in an effort to address the inherent brittleness of PLA plastic that I was using initially before switching to ABS material. Take them for what they're worth; I didn't have time to create elaborate views or presentations, so I just copied all the files and uploaded them here for you to examine and use as needed. Some designs follow the original height profile of the Hovership lower spacers, while others are thicker to accommodate room for better fitment of Afro ESC components between the lower plates.
