Flite Test True-X Gremlin Frame System

thingiverse

This is a set of similarly sized printable frames for the EMAX 1104 brushless motor power pack that both EMAX and Flite Test sell. It's one of the first designs I've created using a CAD program (and the first actually good one), so let me know if there are any improvements I can make. Files: Top plates: - Gremlin Top Plate V3 Good Cam Width STL - Gremlin Top Plate V4 STL Bottom plates/assemblies: Unibody frames: - Gremlin Frame 2V2 Side Fillets STL (most durable, cannot use aero shell with this unless using screws longer than 5mm) - Gremlin Frame 2V3 2mm Tabs STL (second most durable) - Gremlin Frame 2V3 Skinny Arms STL (least durable, less thrust lost) - Gremlin Frame 2V3 Reinforced Skinny Arms STL (a bit more durable, a bit less thrust lost) Removable arms bottom plate (the FC to motor distance is 2mm longer on this frame compared to the unibody plates): - Grem 3 Arm 2 STL (need 4 of these) - Grem 3 Top Plate 2 STL - Grem 3 Top Plate 2 STL I just finished building the quad with my first frame designs, as of writing this portion of the description, and on 3S, it's a lot of fun. Technically, the components from EMAX aren't rated for 3S, but I haven't had any issues, and I know that many other people fly the Gremlin Power Pack on 3S with no issues as well. I would recommend using blue locktite on the motor screws, as after a couple flights (without the locktite), I had motor screws backing out. Recently, after transferring my electronics over to the main plate with skinny arms, I simply filled in the motor screw holes with hot glue after mounting the motors instead of using locktite. This has worked so far. Also, without all four motor screws in each motor, you will get a lot of vibrations. Enjoy!
