Axiom 180 FPV Quadcopter

thingiverse

The Axiom 180 is a durable, safe, and super fun miniquad that delivers exceptional performance. To complete its frame, you simply need a printer with a 5.5" (139mm) or wider bed and some commonly available hardware. Including hardware, this little frame weighs about 199 grams when printed in ABS, making it incredibly lightweight. It can fly for up to 8 minutes and recover from impacts that would disable most other drones. The Axiom 180 is an excellent trainer model if you're just getting into racing, capable of bouncing harmlessly off trees, cartwheeling across fields, and skidding across parking lots. As long as it lands right side up, it usually takes off again. If you take this one to a racing meet, you may not be the fastest but you will probably be the last one flying. Using Loctite on the motor screws is highly recommended for optimal performance.

ABS is the recommended print material, but PLA should also work. Either way, be sure to use nylon washers with those tiny M2 motor screws to keep them from pulling through the motor mount slots and insulate the hot screws from the PLA, which is not heat-resistant.
