The front legs are printed standing (print two of these), and you need good bed adhesion due to the small contact area. Possibly use a brim if you have issues with the print falling over.

When finished printing, take a pair of side cutters and remove the bridge between the locking arms to allow them to bend outwards and slide over the motor arm. Take care when installing, as the locking arms easily break due to the printing orientation. Don't bend manually, just guide them over the motor arm and allow them to snap in place.

The front legs must be installed after unfolding the drone, and then removed before folding the arms back in, as there is no clearance for the locking tabs.

The rear legs are also printed standing (upside down), and there is one left leg and one right leg. In reality in doesn't matter much, it's just that the contact area to the ground is angled a little, just like the original rubber feet.

Also print two if the locking clips, and attach them to the sides of the drone with a little double-sided sticky tape (there's a recessed part of the clip for where to put the tape). If necessary for clearance, use more than one layer of tape (depending on the thickness of your tape).

These legs will provide about 14 mm extra gimbal clearance.
