HoverGames Arm Mount

thingiverse

This bracket was designed specifically for the KIT-HGDRONEK66, a drone kit based on the LJI X4 500 quadcopter frame. It was created as part of the Guardian Angel submission for the HoverGames Challenge 1: Fight Fire with Flyers challenge. The purpose of this bracket is to provide a neat and secure mounting system for the ESCs onto the bottom plate of the drone, using only cable ties and no double-sided tape. Standard arm mounts that come with the LJI X4 500 kit would interfere with the cable tie securing the ESCs in this orientation, so an arm mount with a notch to accept a cable tie was designed. This design has been optimized for use with 3.6mm x 150mm cable ties, but the cable tie notch can be adjusted using the Customizer. To assemble the bracket, print two arm mounts with the cable tie notch on the left and two arm mounts with the cable tie notch on the right. If additional spare arm mounts are needed to replace the ones that came with the LJI X4 500 kit, simply print the arm mount without any notches.
