Description

This is a simple FPV race gate that I drew up in Sketchup.

I have a much heavier duty modular FPV gate (cube) here if you are interested:

Each segment is 175MM long so it will fit on the A1 plate. You will need to print 8 segments for each hoop. They push together with just enough resistance to stay in place but are very fast to take down/set up. I used squares as the attachment points so the octagon won't sag as the angles are set. The inner square is 5MM and the snap in square is 4.9. It prints perfectly fitting on my A1 mini in PLA. Note that I chose the standard .2MM height setting and default infill but did override the walls to 3 to give it a little more strength. I suggest printing just two segments and test fit before committing to a tray full in case your printer doesn't like the tight tolerance. One stand will suffice but a second is a little more stable.

Printed without issue and fit together perfectly

Are those all glow in the dark filaments? That looks really cool! I like how you overlapped to create inner and outer sections. Are you flying 65MM whoops? That looks TIGHT, lol.

Replying to @KENN :

Yeah, it's glow in the dark filament, specifically Polymaker Luminous PLA (Luminous Rainbow). I have the gates overlapping purely because the only place I could take a pic with the the glow visible at the time was a bathroom with a tiny countertop. I definitely don't have the skills at this point to hit that inner gap 😅

I didn't know glow-in-the-dark filament existed, it's really amazing

Perfect! Thank you very much for the design

Gracias! I have been giving some thought to doing that maybe I’ll work on it this weekend to try to make something stackable. Also, I plan to make a solid base that you can put a rock or something on to hold it tighter in place.

I am designing connecting arms to join doors together, allowing one to be stacked on top of another If I succeed, I will share it here

LOL, nice job! I had not even considered that...

Would you mind posting this as a print profile?

Replying to @KENN :

H, i I don't know how to do this.

@ConfusionFpv412

I printed this it’s the perfect size fast print it’s a little tiny pain getting them together but if you put it together standing up put one side then the other back and fourth it’s a lot easier

The designer has replied

@KENN

Is that a rainbow silk filament? I've never had any luck with them dimensionally-speaking. They always seem to crumble or have bad layer adhesion. If you don't mind me asking, what filament is that?

@ConfusionFpv412

Replying to @KENN :

It’s actually Pinball matte rainbow I got it on Amazon I also have the pinball silk rainbow and it works fairly decent as well I would say it is less precise than the other filaments I have but they look good and work for most things

easy to setup and big enough for 85mm whoop. disassembling it would be bit tricky though.

I tried 4 design today and out of all the 4 design this design value for buck as it allowed multi stacking with very low number of plates and also printing time was also very low around 4hr for 2 set. thanks alot fir this man 🙌

@KENN

If it’s super tight, try the looser tolerance for the glow in the dark. I’ve never had any trouble putting it together, and then taking it apart again except for the glow-in-the-dark filament was super tight.

printed at 80 percent scale

The profile uploader has replied

@KENN

That looks great! Did it snap together cleanly with 80% scale?

@SeltinoCZ

Replying to @KENN :

i put to 80 percent only lenght of gate, and all was OK

Love the multi-color. I ended up doing that by accident when I printed a a couple of test sets and ended up red/yellow. I bet the contrast helps when you have your goggles on.
