Description
Create drone race gates for your tinywhoop using 19 mm pvc pipe for electrics. All possible corner pieces to build drone race gates for your small drone.
Ideal for in the backyard, the hinges will allow you to partially fold up the gates to allow for fast assembly. Perfect for igow and racegow gate building because the more complicated pieces were not available easily for me.
This requires a well tuned printer! Print one smaller piece first to test if the hinge works and the pipe firts well. If the pipe fit isn't good, just change the size of the pieces in your slicer with 1-3%
If the hinge is stuck after printing just hit it with a hammer and it will come loose.
To fix the hinges in a 90 degree angle just screw a M3 machine screw into the hole. Almost any length will do, but 14mm is ideal.
This set is sized for 19mm or 3/4" outer diameter electrical pipe. This is the most common pipe at least here in the Netherlands, any DIY store will have 4 meter lengths for under 2 euro.
If you use PLA, use a light color so they don't get too soft in the sun.
