BFight210 Top Shark Fin

thingiverse

This shark fin replaces the top plate of my BFight210 quadcopter. The main plate part of this is 3mm thick, providing a solid foundation for the aircraft. The original included screws look long enough to hold it securely in place, ensuring a stable flight experience. The original zip tie holes are still present and may be useful for securing parts to the top plate. Using a shark fin offers several advantages. Firstly, they're visually appealing and add a touch of style to any quadcopter. Secondly, if you're using BetaFlight 3.2 or later, this shark fin should keep at least two propellers out of the grass when crashing upside down. With at least two props clear of the grass, you can activate "turtle mode" to try and flip the aircraft back over and continue flying. I printed this shark fin with PLA at 50% infill for a durable and long-lasting finish. I flew it in very cold weather and broke the top part of the fin off during my first crash, but that's likely due to the brittleness of PLA in low temperatures. The top plate has held up better than the original carbon fiber top, showcasing its durability. To slice this shark fin, I used Cura and had great results. If you're experiencing issues slicing it with another program, try switching to Cura for a smooth printing experience. As an amateur 3D designer, I'm still learning the ropes, but the edges of this design are fairly rough, while the overall appearance looks pretty good when printed. BFight210 Frame:
