Pixhawk: DIY foam replacements

I found a store cosmetic strolling with my partner of disk makeup sint made ​​in a very similar matter to the foam supplied with the pixhawk. the chain store call “KIKO make up milano”

I’m following you. :sunglasses:


I found a foam square from Wjcon (franchising store like Kiko, in the picture at right) is softer than the square of Kiko (on picture at left)

I saw that round you’ve shown in the video, (in the photo above) it might work in a double layer.

tomorrow I will start tests.

Hi There,
I had the best results with slightly harder foam with small bearing surfaces. The best thing is to cut the foam square and place them on each corner. For Pixhawk you can use the small square surfaces which are already in place. (take the measures for the foam)
I found out that cutting the foam square will give better results as rectangle for x and y.
The smaller the contact surface between pixhawk/APM and chassis the better the result.

Pictures please ?
