CINELOG25 PROP GUARDS

** THESE PROTECTORS ARE DURABLE, BUT NOT INDESTRUCTIBLE. PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION, PRINTING PARAMETERS AND DISCLAIMER CAREFULLY **.

Propeller guard design for the GEPRC Cinelog25. It is a minimalist design that provides the minimum necessary protection. The main advantage is the design, it is like flying without protectors, hardly being affected by the wind in outdoor flights. The second big advantage is the weight, only 5gr each protector, half the weight of the original propeller protectors.

After testing a multitude of materials and designs, working with the cinelog25 for at least 6 months and making modifications I can say that they definitely work. Please do not use PLA or TPU. I have found Polypropylene to give the best results. The Flexibility, stiffness and light weight combined in this design makes it withstand most impacts, they are NOT INDESTRUCTIBLE.

There are infinite materials in the market, this design is intensively tested in Polypropylene, I am not responsible if any other material is used such as PETG, CF, NYLON, ASA, etc. The printer used has been an ENDER 3 PRO, properly calibrated.

You will also find as a gift a camera support to not see the propellers or the propeller protector on the fpv camera. Use M3 screw and nut to attach the gopro naked mount compatible with betafpv and namelessrc.

My cinelog25 currently flies 7 minutes using a 650mAh 4S battery and carrying the Naked GP11 (NamelessRC).

Non-tubular designs have been added in addition to the existing ones that are hollow. These non-tubular designs are stronger but also heavier. I use the tubular ones because they are strong enough for me and much lighter.

If you decide to buy my design you should know that you will be helping me with this and the next designs I make. I appreciate it.

** DISCLAIMER **

The flexibility and stiffness properties of PP are different for each type and brand, as well as the best printing parameters. Polypropylene is not indestructible, in a very hard and dry blow it can split. I cannot guarantee the durability of your propeller guards or tell you what printing parameters to use. You will have to adjust them according to the brand and type used by you on your 3D printer model. I recommend that you make your own tests and adjustments before printing these propeller guards.

Remember that this model is for private use only, and is not modifiable or adaptable to other designs.

Thank you very much.

PRINTING PARAMETERS USED

** These parameters correspond to the PP SMARTFIL filament. Any other filament may vary significantly. **

• Printer: ENDER 3 PRO

• Filament: Polypropylene 1,75

Polypropylene prints just like PLA, you just need to place Polypropylene adhesive tape over the hot bed.

• I have used SMARTFIL PP filament in particular. I leave the affiliate link in case you want to buy it here, you will pay the same and help me: https://amzn.to/494OSd8

• For good adhesion to the bed I used this material: https://amzn.to/3QqalV3

PARAMETERS:

• Layer height: 0.2 - 0.12 (I used 0.12)

• Temperature: depending on the filament manufacturer (I have used 210C).

• Speed: 60mm/sec

• Filling: 50%

• Wall lines: 5

• No. of upper/lower layers: 5

• Hot bed: 65C and Adhesive Polypropylene Tape. Thanks to the polypropylene adhesive you don't need to give too much temperature, also it can peel off if you raise this temperature too much.

• Supports: YES. The use of supports is necessary, but only on the outside and touching the bed, never inside the model. It is printed in the same position as the guards are placed on the cinelog. There is a screenshot of Ultimaker Cura in the photos in the description.

Tips: If you want extra layer adhesion, you can increase the extrusion flow and temperature a bit more, but you will also increase the part weight a bit. Polypropylene can be glued with the appropriate glue in case of splitting, in case you want to repair propeller guards.
