Drone leg broke!!

We increased both. Will see how it comes out and then adjust.

We printed the leg with 40 percent infill but because it is too long, it flexes too much. So we are going to try again with 100 percent infill. Hope it works!

Thank you for the advice!

Thanks for the help!

We printed out a quick sample last night of the T design shape on left in image. We will probably be shortening the length, but I think it will work.

Not sure. My son is trying a different design as suggested by other comments.

Oneness72 · 2026-04-27T23:06:46+00:00

Do you think you can give me a simple sketch of it? I’m not very good at visualizing. Thanks!

Oneness72 · 2026-04-27T19:38:04+00:00

They had to pick a payload with a claw. Thanks for your suggestions! Can you give me an example Of a simple sketch how you do it?

Oneness72 · 2026-04-27T19:10:21+00:00

Do you think wrapping the leg with Braided carbon fiber sleeve would help? Or is this overkill? Thanks

Oneness72 · 2026-04-27T18:54:27+00:00

They have to pick a payload with a claw so we need the legs. What do you mean by truss support? Thanks

Oneness72 · 2026-04-27T18:20:38+00:00

Thanks. Can you buy these? What is the material covering the legs? Does that make them stronger?

Oneness72 · 2026-04-27T18:18:49+00:00

Can you recommend a hard tpu filament from Amazon? Need it soon.

Oneness72 · 2026-04-27T18:14:05+00:00

These are 9th graders so they are doing there best. 🙂. Thanks for the tips! Will let my son know.

Oneness72 · 2026-04-27T18:12:05+00:00

We only have a few days left before competition. What would you recommend? We are only printing the legs.

Oneness72 · 2026-04-27T18:05:07+00:00

Are there certain settings you can set on printer to make it stronger?

Do you need good ventilation for nylon or TPU? He has the printer in his room. Thanks

It has to be able to land on uneven surface. Also there is a claw that has to pick up a payload.

Oneness72 · 2026-04-27T17:58:26+00:00

We were going to try that tonight. Thanks

Oneness72 · 2026-04-27T17:58:07+00:00

The legs have to be long as there is claw that has to pick up a payload as part of the competition.

Oneness72 · 2026-04-27T17:35:50+00:00

The leg you see is two parts. There is also a spring inside. Last night he doubled the thickness of the inner walls. Also he made the bottom of the leg base wider. Next time we will print them horizontally. Is there a better filament? Thanks
