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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
|

|
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 Deck
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.

|
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.
