Description

OK, I almost feel silly posting this, but..,

I really did break one of the carbon fiber arms, and I really did print a replacement that I designed. The design was an arduous, 2 mins in solidworks with a patience testing 4 mins on the printer.

Pros:

  • It dimensionally fits
  • It's rugged enough to hold up basic crashes
  • it only takes 4 mins to make (and another 2 mins to design if you want to do it yourself)

Cons:

  • With PLA, its a LOT heavier than the stock items, you will need ballast to offset. I used zip ties on the far side of the opposing rail.
  • it also has more flex, which may be what is makinit unstable to throttle adjustments

If you need a quick replacement, this will work, at least until amazon can send you a replacement parts kit. Peace out.
