Customizable Remix of DJI Spark Floats Water Landing Gears

thingiverse

Remix of the floats by "modelsport". This version has the complete floating gear in one piece - no gluing required. Each gear weighs approximately 21 grams, so the four add up to around 84 grams to the Sparks weight of about 300 grams. **Warning**: Bringing a Spark close to water is entirely at your own risk! **Updated**: The floats have been redesigned with reduced weight and shorter arms. The Spark now swims and flies well in conditions with little or no wind. Check out the updated video at https://youtu.be/3PhNstZ3PXs . However, the copter flies much better without the floats, so this may only be useful for very specific filming situations. Useful ball radius values are between 32mm (which results in a weight of around 550g) and 40mm (which results in a weight greater than 1kg). Any value below 32mm poses a significant risk of the Spark touching water. You can customize the following settings: * numFloats - the number of gears to render * ballRadius - a value between 32 and 40 * armRadius - the radius of the arm between the motor cover and the ball Use rafts to achieve strong contact with the build plate. Paint the balls with a coat after printing for better durability. Use the "PaintSupport" model to print a support plate for painting the gears.
