Byte Size Stretch X (2") - An Open Source Micro Frame

thingiverse

Lately, I've grown kinda bored with searching for a decent but cheap 40mm propeller for my Modulus 65 [110X]. This is unfortunate because he is SUPER fun on account of his ability to shoot pretty much any gap you can imagine. However, spending my life savings on 40mm props is not exactly and exciting prospect, so I faced a dilemma: do I tear down the Modulus and condemn the parts to limbo in the Bin of (di)Spares, or do I make something new out of him? Seeing as he's got an AFNG Anubis 16 (F7) under the hood, the latter wasn't even a question. So, I fired up Fusion 360, took the Modulus 65, stretched it, and made it bigger! Now I've got a frame that takes 2" props, 110X motors, and a 16x16 stack. Seeing as it's dead simple and very similar to the Modulus, I didn't feel quite right selling it. Plus I've got a lot on my plate with the new Project LiteWav lineup coming out soon. Well my loss is your gain. Here are all the files for this bad boy for your pleasure. All I ask is that you let me know and send some pics if you make one, and if you make any more accessories, send em over and I'll add them to this page with your name and the date! As of right now (7/21/18), I have... - DXF for the frame (I will get mine cut in 2mm carbon but 1.5mm is enough if you aren't ragging on it too hard like I plan to) - STL for normal scuff guards (print and attach with motor screws) - STL for print-on guards (like Shendrones uses... print the 0.75mm bottom then the 2.1mm sides and pause, add the frame, and keep going) - STLs for revised versions of the VM275T Modulus 65 mount (one has two holes for dual antennas like an XM+ and the other has just a single hole for an antenna like the XM) - STL for an M2x4mm standoff (I find this easier and cheaper than buying nylon ones, plus you can bling out your stack) Oh and by the way, those two 'T' shapes on the sides are for a rubber band. I'm gonna try and file down the top edges there on my personal cut so that each band lasts longer. I'll let ya know how it turns out. Anyway, enjoy! - Maximus
