Lumenier QAV-S Mini 4" Freestyle Skids

Lumenier QAV-S Mini 4" Freestyle Frame Skids

After beating up my drone for a few flights (top mounted battery setup) I designed some skids. These can be printed in almost any filament type, but I've found that TPU is more durable.  I wanted to ensure they would not interfere with the motor mounting bolts so they are designed to be glued into place.  This has worked well for a multitude of flights and some decent wrecks resulting in the customary walk of shame.

Print Setup

• Material:  TPU
• Quality:  .12mm. (.2mm works as well)
• Temp:  225°C
• Bed:   67°C
• Print Speed:  30mm/s, first layer at 20mm/s
• Walls: 3
• Infill:  99% (adjust as needed for required density)
• Supports:  None
• Orientation:  Contact surface side towards build plate (bumper ledge on top)

These types of projects are pretty quick to design.  If anyone out there needs something similar, let me know.  I'll need precise measurements to create the model.
