Micro 105 FPV Quadcopter - 8.5mm Motors, Micro Scisky

thingiverse

This frame was inspired by the FireFlo V2 and the Alpine Drones Micro H. My objectives were to make it crash resistant, extremely light in weight, and provide excellent protection for onboard equipment. It measures approximately 105mm long. The V1 frame weighs about 10g, while the V2 frame weighs around 8g when printed using PLA. My entire setup (currently based on the V2 base and the V1 top) weighs roughly 38g without the battery. It is specifically designed to support motors measuring 8.5mm in diameter and to house the Micro Scisky flight controller. The camera mount is angled up by 13 degrees in order to accommodate rapid forward motion. Build Instructions Guide for configuring the Micro Scisky Check out the comprehensive build guide on instructables for further information. Base Setup Flight Controller: You need a Flight Controller that comes with a receiver that is compatible with your radio system. Motors: The quad requires motors of 8.5mm in diameter to operate properly. Radio System: A reliable radio system is necessary for control over the drone. Battery: It's best to use a high-quality battery with adequate storage capacity and a sufficient voltage rating. Props: Propellers that are durable and specifically designed for FPV quads are required for optimal performance.

Video Transmitter: The quality of your video signal depends greatly on the performance of your VTX module. Build Steps To start assembling the frame: 1. Secure the motor screws in place by fastening them to their corresponding arms with four M2 bolts. 2. Fasten each ESC securely to its corresponding motor mounting area. 3. Assemble all flight controllers into the Micro Scisky board mounts using a high-quality cable. 4. Attach propellers to your drone’s propsellers. 5/9/2016 Added bottom-v3. This updated model features much greater strength compared to version two but only weighs about 0.2g more. By making a few adjustments, such as increasing the thickness of some parts while optimizing other parts for better efficiency in material usage, I've managed to achieve an ideal balance between performance and durability. 7/25/2016 Added v4 top and bottom, which allow all-in-one FPV modules. The new design includes hooks underneath to accommodate batteries positioned below the flight platform. This particular part also features a cutout recess where you can insert your all in one video transmitting unit safely. It is very versatile since it lets you place everything exactly where it needs to go, without compromising overall structure strength. 7mm version for v4 bottom available As with other posts that contain information regarding hardware performance modifications, I must emphasize safety as top priority at all times while modifying your quad. Safety Precautions: •Always work carefully around high-voltage components. •Take special care not to get the electronics wet because they are easily damaged when exposed moisture. •Make sure your build includes a functioning ESC. •Always ground your drone and battery before handling electronic components to prevent potential damage caused by electrical discharge. It would also be very helpful if users could help share some insights and photos of their custom built frame in use - this is especially the case if there were changes that helped with performance but might otherwise seem too dangerous for beginners
