Arkadia 180mm Quadcopter (beta)

myminifactory

UPDATE: 2/11/2016 - New items added, check out this link https://www.myminifactory.com/object/mounts-for-arkadia-180mm-quadcopter-18533 I created this 180mm Quadcopter from scratch using Tinkercad. This is a beta version, so some flaws might be present - feel free to remix it and don't forget to credit me. Photos are just for demonstration purposes; you can assemble this anyway you like, with or without the Middle Frame. The arms can only hold 1806 motors and maybe smaller ones, but I haven't tried that yet. There is a cutout for the ESCs in the arm. I made this 180mm design because my print bed is pretty small, and I love how strong and durable these mini quads are. This takes about 7-9 hours to print, depending on how much infill you want to use.

A Gopro mount, I recommend using short M3 bolts and some matching locknuts to secure mount safely (nylon screws used only for demonstration) 2. A 22.5 degree tilt designed around this camera http://www.banggood.com/600TVL-8_0MP-14-2_8mm-CMOS-FPV-170-Degree-Wide-Anlge-Lens-Camera-PALNTSC-p-984345.html . I used some 3M double sided tape to secure it to my frame but the lens hole is pretty precise after you clean it out after printing. 3. A no tilt mount designed around the same camera above. I used 3M tape to secure the camera to my frame with this mount also. IF YOU GUYS NEED A 45 DEGREE MOUNT LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS AND I'LL MODIFY THE DESIGN AND ADD IT. Any questions please ask ! Enjoy this frame !
