Alternative Tiny Whoop Frame

Using another design for the camera mount: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2023540 Mounts in a slightly better location and has an opening at the front to avoid pressing the bind button on the Furibee board. You can also stop the swamping issue that this board has by soldering if you're handy with a soldering iron, and enable SBUS as well. I printed the design created by DavidJohnson and really like it, but it had some issues for my build. The frame is super light and this flies more like a micro quad than most Tiny Whoops because the ducts have been removed, which improves airflow. It's a bit more of a slippery flier ... it glides a bit more than a standard whoop. It's fun! I printed this in Taulman 910 and Taulman PCTPE (scaled on the Z axis). Both work well. The 910 is great ... it has survived an unbelievable number of crashes. The PCTPE is a borderline too flexible but it definitely works - it's probably impossible to break. I used RIT dye to dye the parts. The original design didn't work very well in the standard configuration where you mash the board between the camera mount and the frame. The support braces for the frame interfere with the JST headers for the motors ... and you can't really assemble it. I didn't notice this on the first frame I assembled because I had already torn the headers off. This design just completes the motor guard circle and re-orients the support braces for rigidity, allowing the JST headers to drop right in. I also wanted to add some motor protection (I printed them in PCTPE). As far as printing nylon, besides the drying issue ... printing nylon has been easier than printing PLA. The frame is around 3g.
