Lighter CX-20 prop guard

thingiverse

The existing props guards for my Cheerson CX-20 or Quanum Nova are just too heavy for me to handle effectively. I've taken a closer look at what's out there and discovered two popular designs on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:776612 and https://www.thingaverse.com/thing:776617. They're decent, but I wanted something lighter and more suited to my needs. I decided to redesign the prop guard with a focus on reducing weight without sacrificing too much strength. Since I'm using plastic propellers, it should be sufficient for me. However, if you're using fiber propellers, this design may not provide enough protection, making the older models a safer choice. To minimize material usage and keep the weight down, I opted to print with 70% infill and add support structures only for the upper part of the guard. The result is a pair of prop guards that weigh approximately 30 grams each.
