I'm pleasantly pleased with the flex. Stiffer that the standard plastic gear supplied. The Tarot CF gear I borrowed has no flex, and I've had to reattach the little foam pads a few times since they keep coming loose. Little glue would fix it, but not mine.
As far as standing up, I been using this filament for quite some time on the electric motor mounts for my sub-250g planes and it is standing up quite well, With the post processing, it's far more durable and heat resistant than the regular PLA.
I've also used it on floor plates for the CO2 mags of the training equipment we make at work and they pass the drop test quite well. The mag units are about 100 grams and usually drop from about shoulder height.
Here's a screen capture of the Staccto 2011 plate. I can't post pics of actual for contract reasons.

Ta-Daa!
I really like the look! But that's my opinion. :cool:
I stuck the Battery and Tail on for the pics. Battery for ballast, I wanted to see tail clearance.
I sized the Skid tube holes for 3/16" Tube and Tarot Skid tubes are 5.5mm so I drilled to fit.
The STL files will be for the 3/16" and can also be drilled the same way, or if someone wants 1/4" or 6mm sized holes It's a quick change and I can post the STL files for larger holes.
These were designed to fit the 450 Pro. I have an Align and the Frame you see them on is a Tarot frame.
This is the Proto-pasta Black HTPLA 1.75 filament with .4 nozzle, Layer height .12. Settings: 6 walls/.12 thk, 6 top/.84 thk, 6 bottom/.84 thk. 15% infill, Print Temp 212 degrees, Build Plate 55 degrees and glue stick. Print Speed 50 mm/s, Fan 75%, and a Skirt with no supports needed.
The infill really isn't needed, with the layers and walls it pretty much prints solid. Watching the print there are very small spaces in the side mounting fillets and no fill grid produced. the pocket probably lends itself some flexibility in the corner.
The Stl files are marked front and rear, I printed them separately.
Fun project, now to print a second pair. :wink:
