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 :).
Many of the parts found here are also on my Thingiverse pages although since all parts are published here first, this is where you will find the most current versions. As on Thingiverse, everything found here is protected by Copyright and licensed under the terms of the Creative Commons "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International" license.

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.
NOTE: I have compiled a simple list of the different canopy styles along with their compatible mounts which can be found on the page - Canopy and Mounts Compatibility
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.

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.

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.
Decks for GWS, PnT or HD
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.

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.

- 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.

- 7. Pivot the deck to level and mark the side foam where the rear mounts are to go
- 8. 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.
Motor Mounts
Rear Motor Mount
The wood mount is sufficiently strong and when set-up correctly will provide secure mounting and enough air flow for cooling. Please see my set-up of the wood mount for more information - Wood mount set-up.
Having said that, I designed this print to accommodate all the aspects of the correctly set-up wood mount as an alternative for those that want to do a print instead. This mount has a larger center hole and wire pass through as well as 5mm stand-offs to allow more cooling air to exit the fuselage. Also in this design are four "ears" that lock it into position and two sets of cross mount holes on 34mm & 44mm bolt circles to accomodate many 22XX and 28XX motors. The mount holes have "nut wells" to glue in M3 nuts on the forward side.
UPDATE 13.July.2017
To further the improvements a little bit I have angled the stand-offs so you can load two sets (8) of Nyloc nuts and have the ability to change from a 22XX to a 28XX motor at any time after assembly.

52022 | Motor mount r1v4 | 52022.STL |
Install
- 1. Print the mount front side down
- 2. Clean-up the print and with a little glue, push four M3 nuts into the nut wells which fit your cross mount
- 3. Put small pieces of cellophane tape over each nut to protect it from the mount glue
- 4. Using a soldering iron or hot wire, carve out the four small notches for the mount ears in the fuselage halves
- 5. Dry fit the part insuring the fuselage halves go together tightly
- 6. Use E6000, Beacons FoamTac or UHU-POR glue to glue the mount in place
- 7. After the fuse is glued up, use a small hotwire through each cross-mount hole to pierce the cellophane tape and open the foam up
Print Recomendations
- ABS is recommended for this part with an infill of at least 60%. It will fit and work fine on 0.2mm resolution and slow to moderate print speed.
Original Twin Motor Mounts
The twin project was another that came from some discussion on RCGroups. I did this one a little differently because I did the design and then left it up to the community to do some of the initial testing. The results were mixed with some folks having launch issues and some having no problems.
After a few weeks of this someone requested simple 2D drawings of something they could cut out of plywood or plastic so I came up with the "Simple" solution. This uses simple 6 piece skeleton mounts that are assembled then mounted to the plane. Thee are the mounts I eventually (successfully) tested with and they are nearly identical to the "swoopier" mounts first designed.
This then are these two versions starting with the original design.

Misc Mini Talon Parts
This is just a few more parts made for the Mini Talon which came out of various project ideas.
Collapsible Tow Hook
This actually came out of a design I did for a collapsible tow hook on my Zeta Phantom FX-61. It works well and when landing gets completely out of the way so no snags on grass, etc. This version also incorporates a "Tube End" which can help if you use a launch ramp that does not fully tension the pull chord.

- ABS is recommended for this part. Use a fine 0.1mm resolution and slow print speed.
Battery Strap Guide
This is a battery strap well or guide which moves the strap to the outside of the fuse. It isn't a Mini Talon only part but I include it here because it works really well on this plane. I mount it about 1/2" (13mm) forward of the wing leading edge but you will have to determine the best position for your build based on the extra gear you have.
