Blade Nano QX Folding Frame

thingiverse

WORK IN PROGRESS! I've invested several hours crafting this frame, and it's currently up to Version 7. I believe it's far enough along that I'm eager to gather some design feedback from fellow enthusiasts. My current challenges are: Balance - This version of the frame features a similar battery placement as the stock model, which should help resolve the balance and backward drifting issues present in Version 6. Arm Position Stoppers - I need a clever yet simple and lightweight solution to allow the arms to open up to a specific angle. Instead of locking them, I'm looking for a way to stop the arms at the perfect angle. Currently, the fit between the arms and the frame is snug, but setting that ideal angle can be tricky without stoppers. Motor Wire Holders - I require a method to keep the wires organized and prevent pinching during folding. For assembly, you'll need to apply some force, but not excessive pressure, as it may cause damage. I've assembled several of these frames so far, and only one arm holder has broken. Everything is designed with a friction fit, which works well, although using glue at your own risk is advised. If you desire a tight fit for all components, a little sanding will be necessary. It's not excessive work, but it's likely required. Once I've gathered feedback and completed some test flights, Version 8 will be underway. I print on a glass bed using my Monoprice Select Mini with excellent results. All I use is a skirt, and if done correctly, the pieces should stick in place. Using a raft could also work well. My printer settings are as follows: Printer: Monoprice Select Mini Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.1 Infill: 15-25 Notes: Feel free to experiment with different settings and share your thoughts on what you believe works best. Custom Section: This is an ongoing work in progress.
