Yuneec Typhoon Parachute

thingiverse

I designed this for the Mars 58-v2 parachute system. I have given space on the plate for the parachute, mayday system and a small lightweight battery. This is a project in progress; I will post more as I have it. The parachute system this design is intended for can be found at https://www.marsparachutes.com/product/mars-58-v2/. Screws needed: 4 M3 x 20 2 M3 x 12 6 M3 lock nuts I did the plate in 2mm thick carbon fiber, but you could easily use 3mm or if 3D printing, print solid and use as fine a layer as your printer will print to make it strong. 3D printing the plate may not be strong enough even at 3mm. If 3D printing with an FDM printer, you will want to see the post-printing instructions below. Print clamps solid. The design is so that you can remove the thumb screws and still fold up the Typhoon H for storage. Also, this design will benefit from the new Kickstarter project at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2123788781/mars-nova-drone-parachute-radio. Very useful to deploy parachute. Also provided are the Fusion 360 files as well as STEP files. The bolt pattern for the system can be found here: https://www.marsparachutes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/58-BASE-Bolt-Pattern-1.pdf. Note: The two slots on the plate close to the end are there for people who 3D print so that you can run a zip tie through the holes and around the arm of the drone. This is done as a safety in case the 3D print separates; you will not lose your parachute from the drone. More to come.
