DJI Phantom gimbal anti drop pin and clip

thingiverse

This design is for a reliable anti-drop pin and clip used on the DJI Phantom 3 gimbal, which may also work on a Phantom 2. To confirm this, I'd appreciate it if someone would post in the comments to verify whether these pins and clips are compatible with a Phantom 2 as well. Due to my struggles finding an effective design online, I created one myself that has proven successful after testing with PLA plastic on a Phantom 3. Like factory units, once attached to the pin, it was impossible to remove the clip - making them single-use pins that must be cut off in order to remove. Additionally, these clips also work seamlessly with factory pins, and factory pins also function flawlessly with standard clips. Enjoy this reliable design! Reference the print settings below for further details on optimizing your print results. The model was designed using Tinkercad. Update: A sturdy alternative of the clip has been added; it features thicker "fingers" to enhance the grip's strength and a reduced clip-lock diameter that helps secure permanent locks on pins printed with less-than-optimal head diameters. The enhanced clip still maintains compatibility with standard factory pins.
