I was looking for LED gates for FPV drone racing, however all the gates for purchase online seemed too expensive so I decided to take a shot at designing my own (which like most of my other projects will likely end up being more expensive). The idea was to build an LED drone gate that could be easily disassembled for transport to the field and to be able to control the LEDs of multiple gates in the field with a mobile phone via wifi or bluetooth. The bars of the gate are lined with LED strips and controlled via a ESP32 running WLED.
The bars for the gate were printed with translucent PETG to give them some strength and flexibility. The joints were printed with PLA+ (any color, I used white), and the stand and circuit box holder can be printed with either PLA+ or PETG (I used black PLA+).
Supports are not needed for the base or joints, the WLED control box only needs supports on the brackets that stick out from the cover. The bars need support for the first 1-2 inches to ancho
