Prop guards

Posted by Richard Zade on May 20, 2015 at 1:59am

I have seen several DIY articles with how to print prop guards but I am not rich enough to buy a printer so. Has anyone found a source for ready made ones? Rumors are that they will soon be required and I just feel better flying protected.

    I think prop guards just contribute to vortex ring state. At least they do on DJI Phantoms. I've never used them with the Iris+ because I just assume they will reduce control, stability and smoothness of video. BUT that's just an assumption. Maybe someone who has tested prop guards will comment.

    Where did you here this rumor?

    One option is that you could find the .stl file for the bumpers not really guards (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:367230) and get it printed locally at https://www.3dhubs.com/.
