Summary

This little LEM tribute model is fun (and fragile) to fly. Video

Because it's based on the TXD-G1 mini drone it will only give you a couple minutes of flight time. I'm going to try it with the non-camera version to see if the flight times increase and I may try adapting a larger battery to see if that helps give it more duration.

Depending on the filament you use - it may not survive a bad landing. I found the groovey looking gold filament to be more brittle than regular PLA.

It requires CA glue and a couple of heavy duty paperclips.
The frame can be printed without supports but that may vary depending on how good your printer is at doing bridges.
The dish section just snaps on.
The Legs are hollow so you can insert the heavy duty paperclip rod into them to give them the strength needed to hold up to semi hard landings. You will need to glue them in place.
The drone mount is in 2 parts that snap together - you can glue this but it's a good tight fit.
Glue the Nozzle onto the frame
Glue the Panels onto the frame
Glue the Drone Mount to the frame so the C panels is aligned with one of the legs
Glue the Ladder to the leading leg
Glue small scrap filament into the hole in the dishes and the antenna mount
Glue the Hatch doorway to the area just above the leading leg.
