G-Quad 110

thingiverse

Hey Guys! This is an introduction to my 110 size quad design, which has been months in the making. My objectives were straightforward: I wanted to create an affordable quad that can fly indoors with ease, a robust machine that can withstand crashes, and a clean design that looks sleek. There's still plenty of work to be done on this project, but I'm excited to share it with you all in hopes of getting your valuable feedback. Here are some things I need to tackle next: 1. Designing a latch for the lid 2. Creating a battery mount 3. Adding more hold-downs and openings for electronics Over the coming weeks, I'll be testing and refining this design. If you decide to build it, please post images of your progress! UPDATE: 7 Feb 2018 In the past week, I've made numerous small changes to this design, which has required me to rework it completely in Fusion 360 multiple times. What's new? 1. I've resized the motor mounts to fit snugly around an 8.5mm diameter motor. To ensure accuracy, I printed the frame on multiple printers. 2. A raised ring inside each motor mount now provides space for wires, allowing you to push motors into place without pinching them. 3. The camera mount has been enlarged slightly and tilted upwards at a 10-degree angle, which should significantly improve forward flight performance. 4. The arms have been narrowed slightly, reducing thrust interference while also dropping 2 grams from the overall weight of the frame – with no noticeable loss in durability. Now that these changes are complete, I'm waiting for some parts to arrive via mail before I can test fly it. Based on my current assessment, I think it's ready to go!
