Micro quad V1 remix tor Hubsan X4

thingiverse

I upgraded my Hubsan X4 by combining it with a V2 Dream Catcher frame, but during a hard landing, I encountered a problem - a wire snapped due to being too short. This time around, I remade the V1 frame to fit all my Hubsan parts into it perfectly. The V1 frame features mounting points for 7mm motors and an opening in its center where I placed my flight controller (FC) and battery. To make the assembly process easier, I made a groove along each arm for cables and LED's to slide through, allowing me to easily plug them in later on without needing any extra work. Furthermore, I increased the hole size near the FC to 7.5mm so motors can fit right through the arm into their mounting points - now fitting and removing components is quick and hassle-free without even touching those pesky wires. I keep my battery snug in place using some strong elastic bands wrapped around the frame's side lugs. Similarly, I installed LED lights by placing them directly into designated slots on each arm, securing them with just a dab of hot glue. The frame came out incredibly sturdy when printed with natural PLA, and the best part is it comes out nice and weight-efficient at 40 grams total. That beats my last attempt which weighed exactly 14g! You'll soon be able to check some live action vids of this build on my social media - stay tuned for updates. Special thanks to MicroMotorWarehouse over on Thingiverse, a fantastic resource where designers like you come together and create such amazing projects. So enjoy your time browsing this design, take your pick of modifications and see what unique features or twists you can incorporate into your dream catcher build. To replicate the model shown in these pictures: Print in natural PLA at 0.2mm layer thickness using a fill setting of 60% along with three solid layers to give the material sufficient stability before proceeding to the assembly phase. Also note that you'll have to make use of a drill press if necessary because my printer didn't get it right and had an undersized hole; for 7mm motor mounting slots use a 7mm drill bit and see that your flight board stays firmly held in place by means of some strong adhesive. I recommend pushing the motors through holes drilled along each arm while also inserting their wires so you avoid having to take out and resolder the latter again when replacing components like motors. It really pays off especially if they've had enough abuse during various crashes - a true test of its integrity! Also make sure LED's have some space to slide through each slot by cutting tiny little windows for easy passage which helps give your frame that neat aesthetic feel. The best part? Just securing these wires and the FC is now just one less problem for us! Thanks, keep on tinkering
