FULL TILT Toothpick pod & frame

Disclaimer: Make sure to check both sides of the baseplate before printing, especially if you're using the True X version with a small circle near the mounting hole on one side and a triangle on the other. If you're cutting the True X version in carbon fiber, just eyeball it and measure if needed. The "braces" are only meant for the front and back of the quadcopter to ensure evenness. I designed this pod with the intention of maximizing camera perspective while still allowing space for other peripherals inside the frame. The stretched X baseplate is limited to 2-inch props or you can clip off the ends of a 2.5-inch prop using nail clippers (it works surprisingly well). This pod is a remix of T4bee's classic Tanky Toothrip 110mm pod, and I wanted to pay homage to the designer who created an entire "eco-system" for his frame design that inspired the Toothpick drone. The original OG pod was 30x30 with 3mm holes, but I kept the hole spacing at 3mm for some wiggle room while shrinking it to fit the 25.5mm spacing of whoop boards. The thought behind this design is that modern micro electronics have enough power to enable high cam tilt micros, which offers a unique flying experience. Flying at angles above 65 degrees requires tuning your rates and adjusting your D gain on P and R while slowing down your yaw rate significantly. Be cautious when swapping between yaw and roll as the camera angle changes. Update: I've added .stl and .dxf files for the baseplate in true X configuration along with an updated version of the stretch X design for added durability.
