Hi Modal AI,

I am currently developing and testing custom flight control scripts for a Modal AI VOXL 2 UAV. For safety and compliance during indoor testing and development, I require robust protection for the rotors.

I am writing to ask you about the availability or recommendation for propeller guards (prop guards) that are compatible with the standard VOXL development frame.

Specifically, I would appreciate guidance on the following:

Official Accessories: Does Modal AI offer any official propeller guard kits compatible with the development chassis?

Third-Party Recommendations: Can you suggest any specific third-party propeller guards or vendors that are known to work well with the VOXL platforms?

Safety during the early development phase is a primary concern, and using the correct lightweight, non-conductive guards is essential before proceeding to flight testing.

Thank you for your time and assistance.
Sincerely,
Mamunur Rahman

@mamuncanada Looks like a third-party has done it: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/2696/3d-printable-prop-guard
