7MM micro quad (ladybird)

thingiverse

Hello fellow pilots! I'd like to thank you for your interest! If you're one of the many who've purchased the micro Quadcopter known as the Ladybird or its knock-off brand, The Beetle, in all versions - and if, like me, you've had your fair share of crashes, breaking frames, arms, and motor mounts along with intact electronics, then I have a solution for you! Simply print out this file and transfer your working electronics to a brand-new Micro Quadcopter frame (see pictures). Don't worry; it's the same size as both the Ladybird and The Beetle, making it effortless to switch. No need to modify or extend any wires since everything fits perfectly. One thing to note is that when extracting motor wires, you'll encounter two methods: Please exercise extreme caution as motor wires are small and fragile. 1) Split the carbon fiber square rod that comes with your Ladybird or Beetle using a pointy tool (like a pick) - check out pic 11 for more info. 2) Carefully lift the tiny tabs on the white connector at each motor wire's end with a fine-point tool. This should free up two red and black wires; then you can pull them out of the carbon fiber square rod/arm, as shown in the last two pictures. To speed things up, I decided to split the rod/arms of my old Ladybird frame. Remember, take plenty of photos before dismantling your Quadcopter so that reassembling everything is easier and less prone to mistakes when referencing those pictures later. Best of luck!
