180 racing quadcopter

thingiverse

This is a 180 size racing quad designed for high-performance flight. It features an integrated mounting system that accepts an XT60 power cable and a high-gain antenna, allowing seamless integration of popular video transmitters such as the TS5823 VTX. A dedicated mount for GoPro or Xiaomi Yi cameras is also included, as well as a versatile FPV camera mount. For added convenience, I simply hot-glued my HS1177 camera directly to the frame, eliminating the need for separate mounts. The design ensures that all screws are precision-matched to M3 thread sizes, making it easy to assemble and customize the quadcopter. While this model is currently optimized for single-extrusion printing, future upgrades will enable dual-extrusion capabilities. To achieve the striking two-tone color scheme, I paused the print job at strategic intervals and swapped filaments, creating a visually appealing effect. If you're interested in building your own 180 size racing quad but don't have access to a 3D printer, you can purchase this frame on eBay for a competitive price.
