3D model description

I designed this RC Paramotor to fit the Hobbyking Parafoil, I originally printed someone else's design, but found I didn't have enough thrust, so I started with the prop, chose a tried and true 9x6E APC prop.

The 9x6 prop guard is too big to fit on my 200x200 Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus, so I cut it into quarters, print 4 of them, along with 4 of the clips, they fit on tabs on the outside of the Prop guard. The central holes are 22 mm spacing (fit for my Emax CF2822 1200kv motors, but any motor with enough power to throw the 9 inch prop and with 22 mm spacing will fit.)

-Edit- 07/09/19 - turns out the spacing is 23 mm for my Emax 2815/09 with a 9x7x3 prop.

-Edit- 04/01/20 - redesigned to a single print piece (Single piece Paramotor.stl) to help with vibrations, and to fit a 22mm spaced motor. To fit the print bed I had to scale down to a 7 inch prop.

Next the lower is designed with an open front to allow for any battery, I have fitted 3S 2200, and 4S 2300s, they fit with a rubber band stretched over the front and hooked to the tabs on the back. This unit also fits two SG90 servos with arm extensions (for more play on the brake lines). Print one of these, and two of the servo arm extensions.

Lastly is the Upper, which has two holes for attaching carabiners with the A B C & D lines from the wing, and two arms with holes (smaller holes), which act as guides for the brake lines. Again print one.

As this is a Paramotor, I print everything with 100% infill as weight is not an issue.

Obviously, like everyone else I'd love to see you post makes etc as I would love to see others flying this RC Paramotor.

-Edit- 05/01/20 - All files have been re-uploaded (some have been updated to accommodate motor shafts.) , the zip file is an all in one obj file. I have also uploaded the files in glb format.
