Check out the other Version for different sized quads! Find it at my designs: https://www.thingiverse.com/rookiefpv/designs MATERIAL: PLA. Do not use TPU or PETG. You will need to heat and bend the print afterwards (funny sh*t going on here!) HOW TO PRINT: Bottom: 100% infill to give some weight. TOP: 25% infill with at least 4 walls String: 25% infill with at least 4 walls. Print them standing. No supports at the screwholes!!! I recommend 0,2mm layer height for estethics. ASSEMBLING: Use (8x) 8mm M2 screws. You need the lenght for stability. Shorter screws are not recommended. IMPORTANT / HOW TO: !!!After printing, assemble the top-plate 120 degree off (relativly to the bottom-plate)!!! Make sure the strings sitting flush and neat in the corresponding holes at the top- and bottom-plate. Then heat the 4 strings evenly with a hairdryer until they get soft enough to twist. I recommend to handle the print with both hands, while the hairdryer rests on the table f.e. then: twist them 120 degree to the right position, then tilt the top-plate in your desired position. I recommend about 30 degree for a secure stand. No need to rush. Take your time, make the strings hot enough, they take a lot of heat before they start actually "melting away". Took me good 3-4 Minutes to heat them up enough. Then twist carefully, you got time! The Print will stay flexible for at least a minute. If needed, just re-heat the thing and do your corrections. Have fun and post a picture :)
