##**DJI Mavic Pro Landing Gear**## Keep checking back once a week as I will be uploading variations and tweaks regularly as I think of them or if design changes are made. ************************************************************************ - **Update 15/06/2017** - Added Sand Pads - **Update 16/06/2017** - Fixed duplicate STL files. Suggest anyone who downloaded prior to today, download again! - **Update 19/06/2017** - Modified 30mm and 50mm front and rear legs "Sand" Pads - **06/07/2017** - Recommend change to rear leg bases print orientation See bottom for more detail ************************************************************************ ###**Summary of parts;**### - Four versions of the front legs (Domed, Flat and two sizes of flat pads) - Four versions of the Rear Legs (Domed, Flat and two sizes of flat pads) - Only one set of the rear mounts are needed (L&R) as they accept dovetailed versions of the rear legs. The screen shots from Simplify3D show the best orientation I found for the parts and the support material for the best quality print. The dovetails need to be parallel to the build plate for accuracy and fit. ###**Couple of cautions**### - If your slicer supports multiple processes, it is recommended when printing the dove tail legs that the dovetail + 2mm is printed at 100% infill for strength. - Support material is a MUST. Yes there is a lot, but for accuracy and print quality/strength the dovetails need to be on the build plate. - Not sure of the accuracy of your printer, but you may need to do some sanding on the dovetails/domes. ###**Tips**### - If you are finding it hard to remove or insert the dovetails legs, use some Windex or Iso Propyl Alcohol (IPA) to lubricate the Dove Tail joints when inserting or removing the legs. - The Dovetail bases can be left attached to the Mavic, but you will need to remove the legs if you have a custom case of course! ###**Design Notes**### The rear leg mounts were designed to move the legs as close to the Mavic body to reduce torsional loading on the rear arm hinge on landing. ###**Printing Notes**### - PLA was used and tested. ABS or other plastics could be used, but due the shrinkage you may have problems with the dovetails or fitting the parts to the Mavic. ###**To Come**### - I will upload more photos in the next few days and different versions of the feet. - Since I purchased the combo kit, I have lots of bits and pieces floating around (Spare props, RC cables, Battery to USB convertors etc), so I am in the process of designing a box to hold all these parts. ###**Updates**### - **15/06/2017** Added both Front and Rear legs with 30mm and 50mm pads more suitable for landing on fine dirt or sand (Or Snow ?). - **16/06/2017** Re-ordered the STL files to group front legs and then and rear legs one after the other. - **19/06/2017** Made changes at the join from the 30mm and 50mm pads to legs as I had the pads break away from the legs due to insufficient material joining the two. Much "Beefier" now! - **06/07/2017** Recommend change to rear leg bases print orientation. This is due to the latches weakness and breaking where it meet the base structure since the strength only came from the layers.
