Hi, thanks sooo much again. The printer was not happy with his run of Version 1, so we proceeded with printing this Version 2,...now fitted, very happy, yet to fly with it but feel confident. Ideally, if there is a way, I would like to have the horizontal support struts be able to clip on and be removed for easy transportation. This will make a great "flat pack", if this can be achieved without compromising stability.
+Paul Hyde If your local library or school has a 3D printer then they usually charge a small usage fee and cost of filament, it's about $3-$5 for filament for they would probably run you about $20-$30.
+Paul Hyde Bill M on this threat got it done, if you ask him I bet he would have no trouble telling you how much it cost him, he is also on the Tarantula X6 Facebook group.
+Esteban Benjumea Not sure of the Virtual version? the .STL files are Tarantula X6 3D printed landing gear - Version 2: www.thingiverse.com/thing:1051360 Xiaomi Yi Camera mount: www.thingiverse.com/thing:944653 I created this in Tinkercad.
+My New Toys this is the file for print the landing gear thanks for that I can print in whatever 3d print o you can recommend me something thanks a lot
+wuiliamb2 On the Tarantula assembled 125mm Height 120mm Wide (at bottom) The space between the angled legs (if you are planing on mounting a gimbal) is: 60mm wide at top 180mm Wide at bottom 112mm from top to support bars at bottom and the angle of the legs is 30Degrees
Is there anyone out there who would be willing to modify this skid for me? I'm not 100% sure on the specs yet, but if the skid angle is changed to 25° instead of 30° and if the skids would be overall longer about 2-3cm this skid would be perfect to complement the popular Walkera D-2D Gimbal on the tarantula. They way it is right now unfortunately it is just too short.
Before I can, I just want to clarify are you looking for just the skids to be modified? The skids as they are, are at 60 degrees. (the camera mount is the part that was 30 degrees) and I can make the 3cm longer.
Oh wow, that would be awesome, thanks for the answer first of all. Right now I don't have the specific dimensions together, waiting for my gimbal to arrive, but basically I think the skids(legs) can stay at 60 degrees (You mean 60° as 30° for each single skid right?) changing to 50° would be another possibility to avoid them being to wide at the bottom. regarding the changed height of the landing gear I am not sure what is needed, I find different dimensions for the gimbal setup, therefore it would probably be best if I meassure it as soon as I have it at hand. I would post again as soon as the gimbal has arrived and i can measure everything. Again thanks a lot for considering to modify the layout, great work you did there. I am sure many people will enjoy this modification, as the walkera gimbal setup is wide spread with tarantula users but it always comes with the problem of modifying the gear appropiately so that it is high enough and doesn't show of on the FOV of the camera.
With the Walkera G-2D Gimbal mounted it would need about 10cm between the bottom of the Tarantula and the support Bars at the bottom of the landing gear, so it should fit without any modifications. Thanks for the great work.
Yes, Now it is Nice. Good work :-)

Can you give me the landing design ?? Thank you
+federico enklenklen I designed it in Tinkercad, the design file is available at
www.thingiverse.com/thing:1051360
how much would it cost to make one like that

can you share me the virtual version for to print the landing gear pleas thank you

No problem. any 3D printer will print this. I used a Davinci 1.0.
can you tell me please the measures, especially the height
+wuiliamb2 On the Tarantula assembled
125mm Height
120mm Wide (at bottom)
The space between the angled legs (if you are planing on mounting a gimbal) is:
60mm wide at top
180mm Wide at bottom
112mm from top to support bars at bottom
and the angle of the legs is 30Degrees
+My New Toys so thx

sure, give me a few minutes.

No problem! Just give me a shout, when it comes in.
