I just got this drone. I have built some FPV racing drones but want to get into aerial photography and such. Eventually building a heavy lift copter with gimbal and all the fun stuff. I think Arducopter is the way to go.
In flying the drone around my house I got it caught up in my christmas tree and managed to strip one of the motor gears. I was going to order a new set of motors. But, Skyviper is sold out of them. They are also sold out of props. I have already broken one of them as well. Hopefully they get some soon.
I decided to 3d print the gear. Which is very difficult to print this small. I was able to do it with a .15mm head and lots of setting tweaks. Luckily, I have my Rostock Max V3 dialed in.
Here is the Thingiverse link to the gear with instructions to hopefully get it to work with any printer.
I’m thinking of creating a 3d print design for the prop gear as well. But, I don’t need it yet. If anybody needs one let me know and I will work it up. This will require hot melting the shaft out of the old gear and hot melting it into the new one. When I have to do this the hard part is creating the jig to keep it perfectly straight while melting in.
