3D Printing

This section shows the the required 3D prints for this year’s drone

1: Landing Gear

2: Mounts

3: Gimbal

For AVR, you’ll need to 3D print some parts for your drone. While not needed immediately, these are good to get started with:

Explore each of the subsections to see what you’ll need to print.

1 - Landing Gear

3D prints for the landing gear

AVR-LANDING-GEAR-MOUNT (x4)
- STL file: AVR-LANDING-GEAR-MOUNT.stl
- STEP file: AVR-LANDING-GEAR-MOUNT.stp
AVR-LANDING-GEAR-BRACE (x4)
- STL file: AVR-LANDING-GEAR-BRACE.stl
- STEP file: AVR-LANDING-GEAR-BRACE.stp
AVR-LANDING-GEAR-FOOT (x4)
- STL file: AVR-LANDING-GEAR-FOOT.stl
- STEP file: AVR-LANDING-GEAR-FOOT.stp

Note

For the landing gear it is highly advised that you print with 100% infill as these are going to be parts that will need to with stand the impact of landing.

2 - Mounts

3D prints for mounting the ZED Mini camera

AVR-CAM-ZED-MINI-MOUNT (x1)
- STL file: AVR-CAM-ZED-MINI-MOUNT.stl
- STEP file: AVR-CAM-ZED-MINI-MOUNT.stp
AVR-BATTERY-STANDOFF-SMC (X1)
- STL file: AVR-BATTERY-STANDOFF-SMC.stl
- STEP file: AVR-BATTERY-STANDOFF-SMC.stp

An infill of 15% should be sufficient for these parts.

For best prints, it is advised that you rotate the part onto its back for printing.

3 - Gimbal

3D prints for the thermal camera gimbal

AVR-GIMBAL-BASE (x1)
- STL file: AVR-GIMBAL-BASE.stl
- STEP file: AVR-GIMBAL-BASE.stp
AVR-GIMBAL-PAN (x1)
- STL file: AVR-GIMBAL-PAN.stl
- STEP file: AVR-GIMBAL-PAN.stp
AVR-GIMBAL-TILT (x1)
- STL file: AVR-GIMBAL-TILT.stl
- STEP file: AVR-GIMBAL-TILT.stp

An infill of 15% should be sufficient for these parts.
