Potensic D85 Drone Landing Gear

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

I recently got my First drone, a Potensic D85. Of course, I crashed it and broke some of the landing gear legs. The legs were not what I thought that I would break first, I imagined that was the going to be the props. How wrong I was. The original legs are made of a brittle plastic and cost $25-$30 for a set of 4 legs. I thought that I could make a suitable replacement and set out to do so. The legs are done in White and Red PETG. This is for visibility and the ability to identify front or rear of the drone from a distance. I use White for front and Red for rear. Note that the legs shown on the drone are the original prototype, these were shorter and lighter than the originals. The latest file is an improved version and are the ones laying on the counter. These legs are only about 1 gram heavier than the original, but are more flexible and seem to be stronger. There is a recess in the ends where you can place a piece of foam cushion for anti slip properties and to soften the landing. Uses original screws and mounting points.
