Repairing front leg on Mavic Air

[wsteele]

My Mavic Air has a "gimpy" right front leg extension. I've looked for a replacement front leg extension but I can only find a replacement for the entire arm and leg assembly for $30-40 which would also require I do an extensive disassembly of the drone.

Yesterday I discovered on "Thingverse" that I can 3d print the circular bracket that holds the leg extension to the leg/arm which I suspect is my problem.

Does anybody have any experience and tips for replacing the front bracket which holds the folding leg extension? Does the antenna need to be disconnected from either the leg or the drone in order to replace the circular bracket. I also assume one only needs to remove the hex screw in the bracket in order to remove it. Any advise would be appreciated.

I'll take some pics soon. A 3d leg would save some money instead of having to buy a whole arm.

Is the repair something I could do with parts from you or do I need to send the drone to you?
