MHQ2 Skid Landing Gear

thingiverse

The original stock landing gear was woefully fragile and kept breaking under minimal stress, revealing a design flaw that manifested itself during forward flight when no hard landings were involved. FPV racing often proved a challenging endeavor as altitude proved difficult to gauge with precision. This frequent inability to determine altitude led me to scrape the ground time and again, each incident causing yet another gear to fail catastrophically. With these latest modifications, I'm hoping to slide gently into the dirt without the consequences of breakage, while still managing to withstand occasional, albeit avoidable, hard landings. After an extensive practice regimen culminating in a successful, two-sesions-ago flight session that pushed my drone through several harrowing near-misses with ground-level crashes, it was gratifying to find out that this reinforced landing gear had weathered these high-stakes tests unscathed. Print the required pieces, ideally 2 copies per piece. To ensure proper adhesion of parts after assembly, opt for gluing or welding together the middle sections carefully. While printing at a relatively slow pace to avoid excessive pressure from heat dissipation during solidification of my print layers set to fifty percent material saturation to maintain reasonable speed, I utilized an ABS filament feed that helped preserve stability without incurring additional expenses by conserving printer ink.
