DadDrone_3: Quadcopter 450-size foldable, camera-suited
thingiverse
I wanted a medium-sized quadcopter that could handle basic flying and carry an FPV camera while shooting high-definition images and video. However, it had to be foldable so I could transport it in my backpack on holiday. The motors and props needed to have relatively low KV ratings and a wide pitch to lift a heavier load. So, I learned to design using Fusion 360 and created all the parts from scratch. Then, I 3D-printed everything and assembled it. The arms are made of a carbon tube with a diameter of 14mm that I bought at my local RC shop. "DadDrone" is what I call it because I'm a dad and it's my design. My oldest son also designed some parts for his own chassis, which is the third design I've created. My second design was a foldable quad that's fully 3D-printed, and I might publish those files later. Here's a list of what to print: Item and number to print 1. Chassis plate - 2 2. Front plate - 1 3. Back plate - 1 4. Camera mount bottom - 1 5. Camera mount angle - 1 6. Camera mount up - 1 7. Motor pod bottom - 4 8. Motor pod up - 4 9. Antenna mount - 1 10. Fold mount - 4 I also need: * 4 carbon tubes with an external diameter of 14mm and a length of 122mm * 3mm bolts and nuts Useful items include some painter's tape, zip ties. Essential components are the flight controller, ESC, RX, PDB, and other standard parts. UPDATE 2018/08/22: I've added new parts, made corrections, and renamed them in English. I've also posted new pictures.
