Hobbyking ME 163 Landing Gear Replacement

thingiverse

This landing gear replacement is specifically designed for the Hobbyking ME163 red version, but it may also fit the original "green" version. The design is still a work in progress, with some adjustments needed to ensure a perfect fit. The upper part of the replacement is currently slightly too thick, which was also an issue in my first iteration. To fix this, I plan to make further adjustments before reprinting it. Fortunately, the lower part fits well so far, provided that the metal piece isn't bent excessively. To attach the magnet, you can use CA glue as one option. I used ABS for printing this replacement, but I would recommend using a different material if you want to avoid warping issues. If you're interested in trying out this landing gear replacement, please let me know how it fits in your ME163 and whether it's worth saving the $11 or so that you'd spend on the original Hobbyking landing gear.
