Drone Stand for Dromida Kodo HD

thingiverse

This is a stand I designed specifically for my Dromida Kodo HD drone. To place the drone on the stand, simply slide it into the battery holder. The stand also features slots for storing the battery and controller. It has strategically placed supports to maintain balance when taking items off or putting them back on. Edit: I've added a file for the assembled stand with the battery holder separated from the rest of the design. This makes it easier to remove support material, which can be a challenge. You can glue the holder in place after printing. Post-Printing Thoughts I'm pleased with how the stand turned out. Here are my thoughts: The battery holder is the right size - large enough for easy insertion and removal of the battery, yet compact enough to fit snugly around it. However, I made a mistake when measuring the controller holder, resulting in a slightly too-small slot. To compensate, I enlarged the slot in the design, but unfortunately, that meant I didn't reprint the stand. As a result, the photos of the finished product show the smaller version. The struts on the controller holder do an excellent job of keeping the stand balanced, despite their fragile appearance. This is likely due to my subpar gluing skills rather than any inherent flaw in the design. I appreciate the minimalist aesthetic of the stand, but I wish it didn't need those additional supports under the controller slot. Print Settings Printer: Printrbot Play Supports: No* Resolution: N/A Infill: I used 15% infill for this print, which is my standard setting. *If you opt to use the assembled file, you may encounter issues with supports. However, if you're comfortable using the separate pieces and gluing them together later, you can avoid supports altogether.
