Micro Quad Racing Gate

thingiverse

I've got these neat micro quads all set up for FPV that I've been flying around the house. I wanted to enhance the fun, so I jumped into Blender and created some connectors to fit some super cheap, under 3 buck, 7.3mm diameter Walmart carbon fiber rods (I used these same rods in the 3D Printed lawn spinners that I designed). It took two rods plus 4" from a third to make one gate - 4 pieces @ 10" and 6 pieces @ 4". So the next few gates will only take two rods plus leftovers from that 3rd rod. The gate size is 10"x10" (it seemed like a great size and is easy to change later if I want since this is all press fit).
