650 Tube Hexacopter.

thingiverse

This 650 hexacopter is printable on a standard 200 by 200 mm 3d printer. The design draws from the Spyda 500 Hexacopter mixed with the Tubular Crossfire 2 quad-copter. Brendan22 designed the tube arms originally, and they are incredibly strong. Crashing my Spyda 500 hex and destroying it totally made me realize the need for something stronger, so I found the crossfire 2 design which proved to be extremely durable, its arms being almost impossible to break even with force applied directly. This prompted me to work on a hex design and resulted in the creation of this 650mm hexacopter. The top section has provisions made for an anti-vibration plate that will be shared soon. A peculiar observation made during printing is that rotating arm tube 90 degrees helped fit it into pronterface properly in Sicer.
