RCExplorer Mini Tricopter Landing gear / leg

thingiverse

Small landing gear/leg made for the RCExplorer Mini Tricopter. The model can be customized using print settings that fit specific needs. To create rafts with this design: It doesn't matter if a raft is created, but it does provide extra support. The printing system can still produce great results even without a raft. However, when to use or not use a raft largely depends on individual preferences and the nature of the object being printed. Some individuals might prefer a solid surface for their final product while others find rafts useful during the cooling process. Print supports: The printer doesn't require supports to create this model, making the overall printing process more efficient. It allows for smooth removal after completion and prevents damage caused by broken or separated parts within complex designs. There are instances where some features might be weak without the right supports. Print resolution: This design supports high-resolution printing at 0.2mm. The quality is maintained by reducing the gap size, allowing the printer to apply consistent layers for a stronger finish. A lower print resolution does not make it suitable for the RCExplorer Mini Tricopter landing gear as it doesn't align with standard manufacturing processes used in producing tricopters of similar size and design. Infill settings: The design is made up of 50% infill. A high infill percentage like this offers better durability and adds weight to the model without significantly affecting the overall appearance. Some designs, such as those needing aerodynamic properties might need less than a 50 percent infill ratio in order not have negative impacts on flight times. Successful printing conditions: A few successful prints have been made with PLA plastic material using settings: - The extruder was heated to a temperature of 210C for smooth application of melted material. - The heating bed was maintained at an optimal 60C with some coverage provided by glue in order not compromise overall results. Printer: A Prusa i3 printer was utilized during printing, demonstrating good compatibility and producing great models using recommended settings.
