Introduction

This article is a collection of 3D print parts specifically designed to fit the X-UAV Mini Talon. These have all been printed and most have been flight tested and even a few - crash tested :).

Enjoy - Mark

Canopy's and Set-ups

I have redone the feature set that makes up this 3D model smoothing out the surface and profile and changing the NACA style vent to side air scoop type vents. It prints more cleanly now and I have added a version which will support either the Geared Pan & Tilt or the 390deg Pan & Tilt. Below you will find the latest versions of this fun design with downloads for all the printable STL files.

Plain Canopy

If you want to simply cover the nose for a more appealing look or need something to fit to your own structure this may be the part you want. The two FPV camera mounts are optional.

Image	Part Number	Part Description	Print File
	47001	Canopy, Plain	47001.STL
	52001	Canopy support, front	52001.STL
	52002	Canopy support, rear	52002.STL
	52004	Optional HS1177 Camera Mount	52004.STL
	52005	Optional HS1184 Camera Mount	52005.STL

Hardware Shown

Quantity	Part Description
4x	Philips head machine screw, M3 x 8mm, Nylon
2x	Socket head cap screw, M3 x 10mm, Steel

Install

Use E6000, Beacons FoamTac or UHU-POR glue to fasten front support and rear catch in place.

Print Recomendations

ABS is recommended for this part. It will fit and work fine on 0.2mm resolution and slow to moderate print speed.

Static Camera Mounts

This version has a cut-out and platform for the Mobius style HD cams and is the most aerodynamic of all the camera mount units. There are two different canopies, one specifically for the Mobius Mini and one which will accomodate either the Mobius or Runcam cameras.

Image	Part Number	Part Description	Print File
	47003	Canopy, Mobius Mini	47003.STL

2x	Socket head cap screw, M3 x 10mm, Steel
2x	Standoff, M3 x 10mm, Nylon
3x	Flathead machine screw, M3 x 10mm, Steel

Install

Use E6000, Beacons FoamTac or UHU-POR glue to fasten front and rear decks and ribs in place.

Print Recomendations

ABS is recommended for this part. It will fit and work fine on 0.2mm resolution and slow to moderate print speed.

---

Brushless Roll Attachment

This is a new addition to the line-up. The canopy has an extra large cut-out so that a brushless gimbal roll attachment can be utilized with some protection for additional electronics like controller, cam switch, etc. The version shown here uses a small 22mm OD motor, a Multistar 1807/340kv.

Roll attachment shown with an early prototype canopy and the Mobius Mini

This really is designed for the Mobius Mini but a larger camera could be used with a slightly larger Gimbal motor such as a 2208-80t/90kv unit. Some canopy trimming may have to be done if an alternate motor is used.

This is also a new release. Both the "Lightweight Pan and Tilt" and the "Lightweight Pan and Tilt - v2" I have published on Thingiverse will bolt directly to the canopy.

For more information on these two add-ons please see the Thingiverse pages here:

Heavy Duty Pan and Tilt

This is the same set-up as previously released but with the new canopy and FPV camera mounts which lower the cameras enough to clear the bottom edge of the canopy. For more information on the P&T parts and hardware please see the P&T article here - Heavy Duty Pan and Tilt

Print Recomendations

Plain Decks

This section has a few "Plain" decks. These are generally not compatible with any of the canopies and are full coverage decks which cover all the foam on the front of the fuselage.

Simple GWS Servo Deck

If all you need is a simple deck to mount the GWS S125-1T, 360 degree servo, this is it. This deck puts the servo forward so a Pan and Tilt can look straight down over the nose. Additionally, if you want to add the heavy duty bearing plate and servo coupler, the bosses are here and ready to be tapped to M3 for the bearing plate stand-offs.

NOTE: This is a full coverage deck and is not compatible with any of the canopies.

Image	Part Number	Part Description	Print File
	54005	Front deck plate, wide, GWS	54005.STL
	54006	Rear deck plate, wide	54006.STL
	52006	Deck plate support rib	52006.STL

Install

Use E6000, Beacons FoamTac or UHU-POR glue to fasten front and rear decks and ribs in place.

Print Recomendations

ABS is recommended for this part. It will fit and work fine on 0.2mm resolution and slow to moderate print speed.

Skid Plates

Front Skids

If you want the best fore and aft skid protection then look no further! These skids have been tested 100's of times on some of the worst landing surfaces you could imagine and they do the job. There are two versions of the front skid, one wide, one narrow. The wide, 2 piece, skid does a better job in cut shale or other super abrasive surfaces, the narrow version is lighter and printable as a single piece.

Image	Part Number	Part Description	Print File
	52101	Front skid, nose piece	52101.STL
	52102	Front skid, flat piece	52102.STL
	52103	Front skid, 1 piece narrow	52103.STL

Rear Skid

This skid does an amazing job of keeping the rear lower fin intact and straight.

Image	Part Number	Part Description	Print File
	52104	Rear skid	52104.STL

Install

Use E6000, Beacons FoamTac or UHU-POR glue to fasten skid pieces in place.

Print Recomendations

ABS is recommended for these parts. They will fit and work excellently on 0.2mm resolution and slow to moderate print speed. The rear skid can be printed right-side up or down, both with supports. It will look best printed down-side up but this is difficult to print for some.

Gear Decks

Below are two gear decks for mounting electronics in the fuselage. The first "Main Gear Deck" bolts into the center structure and is a great place to mount a flight controller and other bits. The second "Rear Gear Deck" sits just behind the wood center structure and is a great place to mount an RX, GPS puck or ESC.

Main Gear Deck

Having a bolt-in gear deck is a really nice feature in any build. Many have re-designed the entire wood structure but I find this to be redundant, unnecessary work as the wood structure is quite good, stronger than PLA or ABS of the same dimensions and very easy to work with.

This gear deck then uses four threaded clips which glue nicely to the wood structure and put the deck just above the bottom of the structure. You could also elect to use four rubber dampers if you are having vibration issues. The first picture below is an older version of this deck which can be found on Thingiverse if you think it will better suit your needs.

Older version with outside deck clips

Image	Part Number	Part Description	Print File
	52017	Gear deck	52017.STL
	52015	Gear deck clip 'A'	52015.STL
	52016	Gear deck clip 'B'	52016.STL
	1021STL	Complete STL group	1021STL.STL

Install

1. Print the "Complete STL group" file

2. Tap the four clips to M3

3. Assemble the deck in the wood structure using four M3 machine screws AFTER the wood structure is installed in the plane

4. Make sure all four clips are lined up evenly and fully seated against the wood

5. Use thin CA to secure the clips to the wood being careful not to glue the deck to the clips

Print Recomendations

ABS or PLA is recommended for this part. It will fit and work fine on 0.2mm resolution and slow to moderate print speed.

Rear Gear Deck

The rear deck idea came from a poster on RCGroups as a way to mount an ESC directly under an air vent in the hatch. I really liked this idea so came up with my own version which pivots up so you can get to anything below the deck if and when needed.

Image	Part Number	Part Description	Print File
	52018	Deck pivot mount	52018.STL
	52019	Rear deck plate	52019.STL
	52020	Rear deck mount hold-down	52020.STL
	52021STL	Complete rear deck STL group	52021STL.STL

Install

1. Print the "Complete STL group" file

2. Tap the the two pivot ears to M3

3. Tap the two rear mounts to M3

4. Snap the pivot piece into the center of the center structure wood and wick in some thin CA glue.

5. Place the deck in between the pivot ears and spin in two M3 x 8mm nylon screws. Wick some CA under the screw heads.

4. Pivot the deck to level and mark the side foam where the rear mounts are to go.

5. Use E6000 or UHU-POR glue to glue the mounts in place and screw the deck down to hold it all together while the glue sets.

Print Recomendations

ABS or PLA is recommended for this part. It will fit and work fine on 0.2mm resolution and slow to moderate print speed.
