Zip Tie Quad skids

thingiverse

I never grasp why people insist on attaching quad skids with motor screws. All this accomplishes is making me search for longer screws. I firmly believe that a zip tie and some double-sided tape make far more sense. When they wear out, you don't need to remove your motors. The one obvious advantage is the larger surface area they can provide. I designed both a 6mm tall version and a 10mm version. The one in the photos is 6mm, which is significantly shorter than most due to my minimal skidding activities. Admittedly, the fact that it can't have an enormous footprint makes the taller option appear somewhat silly. Printable without supports.
