Mantis Claw

Here is a model a friend showed me during a drone session

Very practical for recovering a drone fallen in hard-to-reach places

The original model is designed for M5x12 screws, screws I don't have. So I decided to model these screws to avoid buying them

I also made a version with adapters for M3x16 screws with nylock nuts

you will need 20 M3x16 screws and 20 M3 nuts

For the central M10 screw, I created a hole to pass a string through

there are 2 M10 screws, one of them has a tighter thread which allows it to be screwed in more easily but it can also unscrew itself, feel free to give me feedback on which one you prefer

If you don't use M3 nylock nuts or if you choose the printed nuts, remember to use a bit of threadlocker or a dab of glue so that it doesn't unscrew during use :)

Warning: Do not overtighten the screws! They must allow the gripper parts to move freely

Here is the assembly video:

I am not the creator of this model, I am just sharing it with you because I find it very practical and with the printed screws, it means you don't need any additional hardware
