Evolution 2.5 printed frame

thingiverse

This is my so-called "Evolution 2.5" frame project, aimed at finding a perfect balance between weight, durability, and stiffness where the frame can withstand beatings without breaking. What makes this design truly special: - Thin arms with flex (flex won't break) - Arms are designed as non-lift air profiles to minimize drag - As light as possible for its size and design - Able to fit all components without any issues The pod in the pictures can be found in my "cool micro copter things" collection on Thingiverse, linked here: https://www.thingiverse.com/inmae/collections/micro-copter Build tips can be directly taken from the Kabab Toothpick Shop/Article; simply use Google to find it. Their tips are worth reading and provide a great baseline to start with. Design constraints: - Designed for 36x36 AIO Boards and 16x16 stacks - 3-hole pattern for AMAX 1103 motors Future work: - Own pod for 14mm and 19mm cams - 4-hole motor pattern Build/Material: - Thanks to DAVE_C_FPV's Calimero (list of materials): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3640675 - Thanks to Dave_C_FPV for the awesome Pod: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3547944 Printing tips: - Use PLA Plus, ABS, or Armadillo (TPU HARD) - Printed with two outlines and 35% infill, weighing about 7.7g - Pictures show a print in PLA Plus on an Ender 2 HISTORY: 22.06.2019: Initial Upload, BETA Version 23.06.2019: Updated lighter version including 16x16 mounting option (must be changed!!!) 25.06.2019: Updated Evolution 2.5 RC2.stl and removed Evolution 2.5 RC1.stl; please remove the inner brace manually and file the edges if using a 16x16 stack. 03.07.2019: Deleted previous Release Candidates and added RC3, updated pictures, and added a cam test showing performance https://youtu.be/bv05J-VRDto 06.07.2019: Added a "secret" 3-inch version of the frame ;-) 28.08.2019: Added RC4 and latest Lipo Holder 30.08.2019: Added 4-hole Version for motor compatibility
