Video Assembly/Disassembly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc1RiGXrCQw Flight video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDGMzD1zj7E DIY Dive Gate: Materials required: For a 2x2m gate: 4x Leifheit Pole/Teleskopstange (41523), expands to 4m, which is more than enough, 3m is sufficient in my opinion. I don't extend the poles all the way. https://www.baumarkteu.de/leifheit-teleskopischestiehl-145-bis-400-cm-41523-11854?utm_campaign=shopping&gclid=CjwKCAjwq-TmBRBdEiwAaO1en5zFkyxamNgiw-ENjb9Cc5uiX32wr1bXyDcTPEoGe6Ns_h-NIerClxoCF_wQAvD_BwE 2x 8,5mm x 4,5m glas fibre rods for tents (usually consisting of 9 pieces, each 50cm), length can be adjusted. https://www.ebay.de/itm/Zeltstange-Zeltgest%C3%A4nge-Tarpstange-Fiberglas-Ersatzgest%C3%A4nge-bis8-5mm-Zelt-Stange/132884495609?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 4x Heavy duty pegs (about 40cm long), like this one: https://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=382847951075&view=all&tid=968675846025 About 10m Paracord when using the heavy duty pegs. The cord should not be much thicker than 3,5mm, better 3mm, since it needs to be routed through the glas fibre rods, which usually have a hole of about 3,8mm. https://www.ebay.de/itm/Zeltstange-Zeltgest%C3%A4nge-Tarpstange-Fiberglas-Ersatzgest%C3%A4nge-bis8-5mm-Zelt-Stange/132884495609?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 The material cost for the 2x2m square gate is about 100€. This does not include filament for the printed parts, which would add about 20-30€ extra. Parts that should be printed in stiff TPU: * Pole_Top_scaled_104.stl * Peg_Holder_33_5.stl Other parts that are needed (PLA/PETG/ABS): * Gate_Edge_Rod_Connector_V2_bottom.stl (4x) * Gate_Edge_Rod_Connector_V2_top_R.stl * Gate_Edge_Rod_Connector_V2_top_L.stl * Gate_Edge_Rod_Connector_V2_latch.stl * Carbon_rod_endcap_V1-V3.stl (those are used to create a flush end for the glas fibre rods) * Rope_Fixer.stl * Peg_Holder_33_5_Spacer_mit_Lasche.stl (for reducing slack of the upper Peg Holder) The rest is optional and was created during the iteration process.
