Hexacopter

thingiverse

My own design hexacopter. Based around a big battery - hence the dimensions. Slice and rotate parts the way you like. I've exported them as how they fit together. I printed from PETG, but had occasional parts (back cover, battery enclosure) made out of PLA too. GPS enclosure printed from transparent PETG, to see the status LEDs. In my build (and, therefore, all the mounting holes aligned for these parts): - Battery = 6200mA, 4S - FC = Matek F405miniTE - right in the centre. Running Arducopter. - GPS = Matek M10-5883 (enclosure designed for it). - ESC = two Mamba 4-in-1 sets, one above another, on 1/2 inch standoffs. No overheat issues so far. - Motors = DJI 2212/2312 920kV or equivalent. - Gimbal control = StoRM 2 axis clone from Aliexpress (it's the cheapest one, you can't miss). - Receiver = Flysky FS-A8S (or whatever small receiver you choose - mounts under gimbal board on doublesided tape, feed the antenna outside via front hole. - Wifi telemetry unit - doublesided tape under gimbal board, pull the antenna outside. Optional items: GoPro-style camera on gimbal, alternatively Runcam 5 Orange+FPV cam on a custom-made mount (to be loaded later). VTX - can be cabletied to the back battery cover, so it's outside and gets air cooling. Landing gear is optional, as it adds 100g or so of weight. Little cube bits on the front and back panels act as a landing gear if you careful and take off from a hard surface ;) Everything assembled using 8G wood screws, except locating screws for arms, which are 6G, and the main arm mounts, which are GoPro style M4 bolts with nyloc nuts. All the motor wires soldered to avoid the risk of connector vibrating open in flight. GPS enclosure actually made of 2 parts: front/top and back. Suggest you drag them apart before printing. Also be very careful removing the support material - the top of the GPS enclosure is VERY thin. Flies very well for me, until I get overconfident and fly it into a tree... then the re-printing begins. I suggest having spare arms, as they the ones to snap first.
