Hexagon race gate (work in progress) by JustinLimoges

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Still working out some kinks with this air gate but so far so good! In the original version (pictured here) the lower legs were separate from the short vertical sections which worked fine but there was too much flex in the middle of the "Y" connector with moderate wind.
In the version uploaded it allows the vertical posts go all the way through the "Y" connector for added stiffness. I haven't tested this yet so let me know your results. This will also save setup time because you can leave the "Y" and elbow connector attached to the long sections. Connections are tight but stay together very well. Printed in TPU for flex and durability. Add some pool noodles to soften the blow when you smash 'em with your quad.
If you make two gates with these sizes, there will be no waste.
