Grasshopper Landing Gear Testing for Strength

3 years ago

I have 3D printed some new legs for Grasshopper. This is version 4 of the leg design. Version 3 broke after just a few roughish landings.

This version 4 is a triangle shape and much stronger than the single leg version 3.

Still have an issue with the screw stripping on one of the legs and that is due to the 30% infill while printing to save on weight.

100% infill resulted in a leg weighing 41g compared to 30% fill which was 20g.
