BigFoot 9.4" R2 (phantom edition) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4379953 https://rotorbuilds.com/build/23274 This is a massive, 9.4-inch quadcopter frame based on TBS SourceOne and typical racer quadcopter parts. It utilizes DJI Phantom II motors/propellers due to their popularity and affordability. I was surprised by how well the DJI 2312 motor, designed for 4S, handles 5S or even more voltage. Tune your PIDs carefully to ensure the motors don't overheat from vibrations or poor FC tuning, and it will perform great with a heavy load. The pictures were taken of the prototype arms, but the current design has been improved and optimized for non-support printing. I plan to make further improvements in the future. FRAME and PRINTED PARTS 1. The bottom, center, and top plates are taken from TBS SourceOne v0.3. - In my case, the plates were not 3mm as they should be, but the CAD design assumed a 3mm carbon plate. - Assembly was not as expected (the bottom plate is centered). - It's possible to assemble the arms below the cage. - https://www.team-blacksheep.com/products/prod:source_one_5in 2. The 3D PET-G printed arms have aluminum pipe reinforcement inside. - The quadcopter will function fine even without the aluminum pipe, but it's better to have it inside the PETG arm. - You can increase the thickness or add a different shape of carbon reinforcement inside. - Motor and LED cables are routed through the middle of the arm, centered in the frame. - Aluminum pipe diameter is 10mm (1mm thickness). - Print using 2-3 perimeters and 4-5 top/bottom solid layers, with an infill of 20-50%. 3. Custom-designed 3D printed mounts are included. - The VTX & RX pigtail antennas are mounted to the top plate. - FrSky r9mm antenna is also supported. - A rear midplate for the RX or other components is available. - Side GPS mount and BN-880 GPS/Compass case can be used. - HD camera 'coach type' mount is included.
