Hey everyone,
Well, it finally happened… I crashed my drone. I’ve been able to replace most of the damaged parts—rear right arm, gimbal rubber, and front left arm—but I’m stuck on this black air vent cover (marked in red in the picture). I don’t even know what it’s called!
Does anyone know the name of this part or where I can buy a replacement? I’d really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!
That’s the intake grille for the turbo-boosted hyper-flex FTL engine. Make sure you keep it clean! 
It’s called the Aircraft Middle Frame Dustproof Mesh.
Hole.

Jokes aside, I think if that part is damaged, you might need to replace the upper shell. Not 100% sure, though.

Thankfully, the upper shell is fine! The whole body actually looks intact. The dustproof mesh must have just fallen off from the impact. It was only held on with a bit of glue, kinda like double-sided tape.

Appreciate it! Unfortunately, they don’t ship internationally, so I guess I’ll just have to live with the missing part.
That’s the 1000-horsepower engine… be careful, or your drone might get pregnant!

Noted! I’ll make sure she stays protected.
That’s not a vent cover—it’s part of the camera system and obstacle avoidance sensors.
Edit: Never mind, I was wrong! My bad.

Mini 3 doesn’t have obstacle avoidance.

You’re probably thinking of the Mini 3 Pro—the regular Mini 3 doesn’t have obstacle avoidance.
