STL files for three different Landing Gear Legs are available for download. They differ by the angle from the body, the length of the down tube, and the length of the ground tube. These three dimensions can be easily changed using parametrics. Requests for different sizes are welcome.
The Feet for the landing gear legs are optional. When made from TPU they provide for cushioned landings on hard surfaces.
The Landing Gear Legs can be printed with ordinary PLA, but for added strength I typically use ABS. I’ve also printed the entire Landing Gear Legs out of TPU.

Suggested Print Orientation
The landing gear legs can be tricky to print. My suggested print orientation keeps the upper mounting tab surface clean so that it mounts easily against the Battery Tray.
Suggested Supports
Use supports only from the build plate to avoid having to remove support material from inside the tubes.
Suggested Infill
Infill depends on the material. In general, 25% infill is a good place to start when using ABS or PLA. The entire Landing Gear Legs can be printed with TPU using an infill of 50%.
