Hubsan Zino / Pro In Flight Gimbal & Camera Protector Housing

thingiverse

Wide & Narrow Models have been discontinued. The Updated MODEL is now VER 3, which has proven stable during flight operations. Previous models experienced buffeting and gimbal shake, leading to their removal from production. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNNg5NibNHA This is a basic gimbal/camera protector designed for the Hubsan Zino & Zino Pro Drone to be used in flight. It snaps into the drone housing like the gimbal lock protector does, and its purpose is to protect the delicate camera, gimbal, and wiring during flight. I recently lost my camera on my Hubsan Zino Pro in a crash and decided to create a gimbal Protector. This design has been printed and tested using a resin printer. I have also printed and tested it in FDM using PLA, although this is not the recommended route. To achieve optimal results with FDM printing, lie the model on its back (face that contacts the front of the drone) for maximum strength on tabs, and use supports. See attached screenshots. FDM: .2 layers, no raft, supports enabled, 50% infill, 3 top, 3 bottom, 4 walls. This protector does not lock the gimbal or restrict movement during storage, travel, etc. As with all of my models, the Tinkercad design is available here: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/fzYWoBR4n7j PS: If you are purchasing this print from Carl Kerstaan, remember that he is selling a non-commercial model that was released openly for everyone to share. Contact me and I will print it for half of what he's offering to print it for.
