Space Ship Landing Gear

Made this when I was looking for landing gear to put on the fun little model spaceship I am still designing. Loosely based off of landing gear from an X-wing and could probably be used for a model X-wing if you wanted. My favorite thing about this is its functional!

If you want to motorize it i would recommend adding a rack gear onto the piece that slides through the base and maybe a worm gear on a motor you should be able to get a really smooth folding and unfolding

Needed to sand down my axels/cylinders a bit so might recommend making your own cylinders at a slightly smaller diameter.

My design Struggles:
Arm lengths were really hard to calculate to get it to fold up into a compact location and then flat when unfolded. Made like 4 or 5 prototypes before I got the foot to line up in the right spot

Made this on a whim and just wanted to share! Hope this gets some uses as it is my first post! Please share your prints/creations!

Thanks, Enjoy!
