Missing plastic piece from rear left propeller arm

[locotenentu]

Hello.

Where can I find this piece to purchase. DJI wants me to send them the whole drone for repair, but it looks like its an easy fix.

Thanks

Not sure you'll find just that piece for sale. You can buy the entire rear left arm here on Amazon.

Yah I don't think it's worth changing now. I may as well just tape it probably not going to have any issues with it, was just wondering if anyone knew what that piece is called or if it's sold online anywhere.

Apparently those pieces have been replaced (by credit card material) to stiffen the front arms and prevent the props from hitting the body. I know your area of concern is the rear arm, but maybe this will help you, too:

Yeah, I wouldn't replace the entire arm. I was thinking you could harvest that missing piece from a new arm.

What happened? Looks like some grass stains and a few motor strikes.

Why not 3D print it?

You can use the piece from the other side as a template, then reverse it.

I think you can find some useful info here:

Looking for someone to 3d print stiffeners

Hello So I do not have a 3d printer but I would like to try the 3d printed front arm stiffeners for the mavic mini. Would anybody here care to print these for me or is there a trusted affordable place that prints one off pieces that I could get these printed ? Thanks

DJI Mavic Mini Arm Stiffener by redpiyaya

This is to make the arms sturdier, thus less motor vibrations. I got this idea from Lindsay White but made my own model from scratch. Printed 0.4mm PETG 100% infill. Removed foam and super glued the part.

What is missing here is the foam filling of the arm, the pupose of which is tp prottect the cables inside and the give a little stability tot he three walls of the arm. Find a lightweight water resistant foam and snipple a fitting part similar to the other arm arm. Carfully scratch the surplus glue out and use a little hot glue to fix it. That's what I would try.

Actually, it's a hard piece of plastic. Only the front arms contain foam.

Something that I didn't know before is that when the battery gets down to 20% the return to home is activated automatically and if you don't pay attention to the screen to cancel it it will start to well return to home... so it through a few tree branches on the way up and me trying to control it. The funny thing is that that piece was still there, so I take it then to a nice open field to fly it and it gets lost in flight.
