Need 3D Printed Parts For My Drone...

[ZaneC]

Hey guys. Recently, I had a little crash with my drone, and the one part I broke they don't sell. I contacted the company, they helped, but still, I can't get the part. I was wondering if somebody could design and send me some. I can post measurements.
Thanks

What's the brand & model of your drone?

It's a DeeRC D20. Kind of an off-brand, but still pretty good.

I didn't find anything. Sorry. Crazy a new one is $50

All good. I searched all over too. If you do ever see anything, please let me know.

I did find STLs for that model on Yeggi- just didn't look like that piece/part.

I would just get some 2 part epoxy and glue that back on. Or if that is ABS plastic, you can use plastic weld to repair it. Plastic weld actually melts the plastic back together, creating a secure connection that is just as strong as the solid part, and likely much stronger than a 3d printed part.

You can take some bits of ABS plastic, like from a 1/25 scale model kit sprue tree and create a slurry by soaking the plastic bits in acetone, or 100% pure acetone nail polish remover. This creates a putty to add additional material material around the repair that will also become part of the part, making the joint even stronger than it originally was.

That part would be a fairly tough part to print, and due to the dedign, would not be a very strong print.

Happy to give this a shot. Wouldn't charge you for design time, just materials cost and shipping. I'm a mechanical design engineer by trade and currently use solidworks or onshape. Post up some measurements!

That's awesome!

Thanks, but the entire piece is warped. It ain't fixable.

Perfect! Yes, give me a bit, and I'll send you pictures and measurements. Will millimeters work?

Millimeters works great
