Race gate for drones

thingiverse

Here's a possible way on how to build a race gate for indoor (or outdoor) micro quad (or not so micro). You can build them bigger or smaller - all depends on the length of the profiles. Mine here has 50cm by 50cm. Materials (for one gate) 2 aluminum profiles 11mmx1mm (diameter x thickness). These profiles I bought are 1m in length 2x bases (with or without weights) 2x 90 degrees connector 2x pool noodles (optional, for extra protection if a quad hits the gate) Base with heights If you choose this option, the weights are simple fishing sinkers that you can find in any fishing store. These ones are hexagons with 60gr each. You can use others, smaller ones, and just glue them into the holes. Print Settings Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 20 Instructions / Instructions Cut the aluminum profiles with the desired dimensions and fit it all together. You only need, if you want, supports for the 90 degrees connector. If necessary (for easier transportation), just glue the weights to the bases.
