Drone parts STL generator

How it works

1. 1

   Pick a part

   Prop guard, landing legs or camera mount — 7 ready-made starting points in the library, for 3, 5 and 7 inch props, clip-on or strap-on legs and strap or bolt-on mounts.

2. 2

   Enter your measurements

   Prop size, motor bolt pattern and bolt size for a guard; arm width and thickness for legs; tilt, prong count and fixing for a camera mount.

3. 3

   Check the preview

   Make sure the spokes stay under the prop, the clip matches the arm and the camera leans back by the angle you fly at.

4. 4

   Download and print

   Download the STL and print it flat in PETG or PLA, with no supports.

The 7 drone parts in the library

Prop guard — 3 inch

For a 3 inch prop on a 12 × 12 mm M2 motor pattern (2.2 mm holes), with 3 spokes.

Prop guard — 5 inch

For a 5 inch prop on a 16 × 16 mm M3 pattern (3.2 mm holes), with a diamond-lattice ring and 4 ribbed spokes.

Prop guard — 7 inch

For a 7 inch prop on the 16 × 16 mm M3 pattern of 28xx-size motors, for long-range builds.

Drone landing legs — clip-on

4 snap-on legs for a 12 × 5 mm flat arm, 35 mm long with flat pads.

Drone landing legs — strap-on

4 legs that strap or zip-tie under an arm up to 16 mm wide through a 10 mm slot, with ball feet.

Drone action-camera mount — strap

3 prongs with an M5 nut trap, leaning back 25°, held on the top plate by a 20 mm battery strap.

Drone action-camera mount — bolt-on

2 prongs tilted 30°, bolted to the frame with 2 M3 screws 20 mm apart.

What you can adjust

Prop guard

Prop size 2 to 7 inch, a 2 to 10 mm gap to the tips, ring height 8 to 40 mm, a square or circular bolt pattern of 6 to 30 mm, bolt size 1.4 to 3 mm, a centre hole up to 14 mm and 3 or 4 spokes.

Spokes and ribs

Set the prop height above the plate and the ribs stay 3 mm below it; they start outside the motor bell, whose diameter you give (10 to 40 mm).

Landing legs

Arm width 4 to 30 mm (the clip is 0.2 mm wider), arm thickness 2 to 12 mm, strap width 3 to 20 mm, leg length 10 to 80 mm, splay 0 to 25°, pad or ball foot, 1 to 4 legs on the plate.

Camera mount

2 or 3 prongs, tilt 0 to 40°, strap slots for a 10 to 30 mm strap or 2 frame bolts 12 to 60 mm apart, prong thickness and gap, and an M5 nut trap on 3-prong mounts.

Printing drone parts on a 0.4 mm nozzle

Prop guards

Print flat on the motor plate and bottom flange. The diamond windows have pointed roofs, so the lattice prints cleanly. The guard sits between motor and arm, so use motor screws 2 mm longer.

Landing legs

Print flat on the side, so the clip and leg are full-strength layers; a set of legs comes on 1 plate.

Camera mount

Prints flat on its base; the prong bolt hole is a teardrop, so it stays round without supports.
