180 DEVIL

I'm currently without FPV gear, so I didn't include a camera mount; when I receive a camera, I'll redesign the top plate to accommodate it. This is an ongoing project, and I'll update this model with new components as needed. To assemble the frame, I used WN1452 screws. The frame measures 180mm in size. I chose DYS BE1806 motors for power and EMAX 12A SimonK ESCs for control. For flight stability, I mounted a CC3D flight controller at a 90° angle, allowing access to the USB port from the side. A Turnigy 9x8Cv2 receiver was used for communication with the transmitter. To provide energy, I selected a Multistar 3S 1400mAh High discharge battery. With the battery installed, the model weighs 397.5g. This design drew inspiration from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2155553. I aimed to create a slightly larger version that allows ESC mounting in arms; thus, I created this model. To build the frame, you'll need the following printed parts: * Bottom_plate - 1x * Top_plate - 1x * Front - 1x * Side - 2x * Rear - 1x * Lower_arm - 4x * Upper_arm - 4x * Feet - 4x UPDATE: I added mounting holes in the bottom_plate for a Runcam Swift camera. Cutouts were made in the top_plate and front to improve airflow. This design has a significant flaw: Top and bottom plates tend to break easily at arm connections due to insufficient material around screw holes. Despite this, it remains flyable and performs well unless subjected to high-impact crashes.
