DIY Mini Quadcopter w/ 3D Printed Motor Mounts, Top & Bottom Plates

cults3d

UPDATE: As of 2/20/14 you can now print the quad booms without using wooden dowel rods. I should have done this from the start, but thought excessive vibration would damage the multiwii board. Testing with PLA has proven successful. New photos of the frame in red with 3D printed booms are uploaded - it's flying great and your feedback is welcome if you make one. Check out a recent video configuring my FrSky Taranis to toggle between acro and horizon level mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qABjj_gMzU UPDATE: As of 10/1/13 I uploaded a new motor mount that's 1mm thicker than the original version. The motor mount is now 3mm thick, whereas the original was 2mm. Too much flex in the original prompted this upgrade. This mini quad remains a work in progress; follow the build log here: http://garagepilots.com/page/diy-mini-quadcopter-w-3d-printed-frame.
