This is a remix of the landing leg struts for the Falcon 9 Model by AntsinAfrica. I found that the original ones were a bit weak and the clip didn't work that well for me. My version made the parts a bit thicker and now stay open using a pin instead of a clip. I also think they look a bit nicer.
I used m2 x 12 bolts for the fuselage connection and m2 x 6 bolts in the middle of the struts but a small piece of unprinted filament works fine as well. The legs can still close (if you remove the pin in the middle). You might need to sand a little and use a small drill bit to make the pin holes big enough. I figured it was better too tight than too loose.
I hope you enjoy! Let me know how it works or if I can make improvements!
