Atom 1.0 Quadcopter Propeller Guard V2

thingiverse

I decided to modify the first design to reduce plastic usage and ensure a secure connection on the motor mounts. Three printing options are available: Full Frame, Corners Only, or Half Frame. Since eSun PETG filament offers greater flexibility than PLA, I choose it for this project. You can install any of these three types from the bottom without removing the propellers. My measurements show: The quad's weight without guards is 0.53 oz (15.02 g). Full Frame weighs 0.067 oz (1.87 g) and prints in 27:26 at 20% infill with Yellow PETG. Corners Only weighs 0.053 oz (1.5 g) and prints in 26:37 at 20% infill with Yellow PETG. Half Frame weighs 0.059 oz (1.67 g) and prints in 27:09 at 20% infill with Yellow PETG. You can print this design without supports or minimum infill. I used 20% infill and a layer height of 0.2 mm.
