Parrot Bebop 2 Talon

myminifactory

The Bebop 2 Talon is a mountable mechanical claw designed specifically for the Bebop 2 Drone. This versatile tool utilizes a spring lock to snap shut around an object upon contact, and can also be set to open using its integrated spring lock system. The Talon's design allows for minimal supports during printing and light post-print clean up, making it easy to assemble with readily available springs, screws, washers, and nuts. When printed using recommended settings (.15mm to .2mm layer thickness, 15% infill), the fully assembled Talon weighs just 35 grams and can lift objects several times its own weight. The Bebop 2 Talon mounts securely to the Parrot Bebop 2 underbody UAM, a modified version of Kirby Downey's Bebop 2 Drone Bottom Mount. This package also includes the Parrot Bebop 2 underbody UAM counterbalance mount, which features a location to place up to 10 US pennies for counterbalancing the drone depending on load requirements.
