LaunchPad on a Flag Pin

thingiverse

For FPV racers. A launchpad to be put on a metal flag pin. The benefits are:Elevated height, no worries about stuff getting on your lens while taking off. Serious FPV flyers do probably have same spare track gear, like a metal flag pin.It's freaking sturdy.Printed in ABS and also in PETG, no problems whatsoever. For strength, set walls to 6 layer thickness, 25% infill. No support required.When done, slide the RailHoder and the PoleHolder into each other, they are stuck for live.The RailEnd en RailMiddle you also need to print them mirrored.My printing times were:RailHolder 3:40PoleHolder 1:58RailEnd 0:34RailMiddle 1:35Depending on your filament/printer, you might need to take a 14mm drill and drill out the circular one (not the slot, that one should be big enough), because its a tight fit.For the rails you need 2 aluminum extrusion profiles, available at your local hardware store.One L-Shaped 40x14x1.5 mmOne square shaped 15x15x1mmGlue the square shape into the L-shape and cut them on length.The soft padding is some kind of rubbery stuff. No clue where to get that, be creative. Buy a cheap yoga mat 5 or 6 mm thick, and you have padding for live. For example https://amzn.eu/d/dSHAgxM is €7,00
