Landing Gear for Blackout Mini Spider Hex (rev.2)

thingiverse

I wanted something more refined than affixing bars or helicopter skids to the Spider Hex. The majority of parts are precision-fitted, reinforced by 4-inch zip ties for maximum stability. Every element in photos is printed with opaque black PLA and rigorously tested on Printrbot. The design was modeled using industry-standard software. A previous version of the landing gear lacked the central beam (part02). Despite being structurally robust enough, it separated easily in a crash as expected. However, its lack of a perpendicular plate on the opposite side led to a slight wobble. I didn't want any vibrations so I added the plate for the revised design. Instructions Insert part02 into slots in part01, ensuring a flat alignment. Secure with two 4-inch zip ties passed through pre-drilled holes. One zip tie maintains the attachment of part02 to part01 during a crash or over time. The second zip tie ensures that the clamp fits don't separate easily under stress. Clamp near the base of the front and rear arms of the Spider hex, which should fit snugly in place. Prevent them from sliding towards the arm's edge by attaching zip ties to the arms (I utilize these for ESC attachments).
