biendli, 150 mm micro fpv quadcopter

thingiverse

After a lot of different multirotors ranging in sizes from 250 mm to 800 mm, I wanted to design a small frame that I could print on my 3D printer. The "Biendli" is the final result, a micro FPV quadcopter having a diagonal motor distance of 150 mm. It's a very simple design that allows all the components to be packed into a top and bottom shell frame. The following components fit inside the fuselage: CC3D Atom flight controller (running Betaflight) FrSky TFR6 Fasst receiver (for Futaba transmitter) NEMAX 0512 power distribution board (35 mm x 35 mm) FT951 25 MW video transmitter Mini CMOS 520 TVL FPV camera from HobbyKing DYNS 10 A BLHeli ESC's DYNS 1306-3100KV motors 3" props 800 mAh, 3S Lipo (70 mm x 26 mm x 18 mm) The top and bottom frame pieces have to be attached to each other using tape around each of the four arms. The door can be opened to insert and remove the lipo battery. It is secured with a snap fit mechanism. "Biendli" is the Swiss German word for bee. Actually, there are many different words or pronunciations for bees in Switzerland, depending on the canton... Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 1 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 25% Notes: I printed all parts with two shells, which makes the frame a bit heavy but rigid. Since all fuselage parts have to fit very precisely, I used PLA. I designed this with Creo Elements Express 6.0, the free direct modeler from PTC that allows users to design fairly complicated models, such as this quadcopter. I hope PTC will keep this piece of software free for all of us.
