Thinkgeek Mighty Atom RC Helicopter Fix

thingiverse

The stabilizer weight on my inexpensive mini-RC helicopter fell off and vanished. This issue seems common, with replacement parts hard to find. Thankfully, a 3D printer can help! Print two of the small parts, screw M3 nuts onto their narrow ends, then attach them to the stabilizer where the weight used to be. Use an acetone applicator to weld the part to the stabilizer rod, and wait for it to dry. If only one weight detached, replacing both may be necessary for this fix to work.
