Prop-guards for T4 Quadcopter

thingiverse

Propeller guards tailored specifically for T4 models equipped with 10" props and CF2822 motors. A note is warranted here - these propeller guards are designed to fit exclusively with custom-printed arms available from this website's contributor, whose reference link is provided for ease (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:481561), whereas standard T4 models by Brendan22 are not compatible. The construction process involves a combination of careful planning and execution as per the attached instructions below: **Manufacturing Steps** 1. **Optimize Print Settings** To achieve a sturdy yet lightweight design, we recommend printing propeller guards using extremely low infill densities - precisely 5%. 2. **Select Your Design Parameters** - Printing with 3 skin layers and 5% fill density yields approximately 40 grams. - Employing 2 skin layers along with the same 5% fill density reduces the total weight to around 32 grams. 3. **Prepare Your Model for 3D Printing** For both efficient use of filament and structural integrity, support generation is required for central arms and hubs. By orientating your propeller guard model upside down during the printing process, a significantly reduced amount of supports will be generated.
