UPDATE (04/17/2016): Version 3 files added with minor improvements and new features, making V3 parts interchangeable with V2. V3 parts now compatible with V2. (04/19/2016): Added USBmod files for enhanced strength in rear and better alignment of USB plug, resulting in improved performance. UPDATE (04/12/2016): Files have undergone significant changes! Lighter frame and parts now accurately fit together. (Works and flies perfectly without this mod.) UDPATE (05/28/2016): I've completely redesigned this quad, moving my electronics to the new design. This redesign eliminates damper balls and accommodates 66mm props now. See http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1594735 for details. This is a 100mm spider quad designed specifically for indoor/outdoor FPV flights. Corner motor-to-motor distance is 100mm, with rear motors 60mm apart and front motors 74mm apart. Top and Bottom plate edges are 3mm thick, while the frame with rubber damper balls weighs 10.6 grams (printed in ABS). It features a Micro Scisky 32bit brushed FC from Banggood, along with other components: 8.5x20mm motors from Banggood 600TVL 1/4 Micro CMOS camera from Banggood FX758-2 5.8G 200mW VTx from Banggood Key features include: All electrical components safely protected inside the frame Top-mount battery secured by rubber band (built-in pegs) 10 degree up-angle tilt camera mount (camera securely fastened with small zip tie) FPV components isolated from motors and FC using anti-vibration balls Access to USB on FC without disassembly required Convertible to non-FPV by removing top plate and moving damper balls underneath to form protective landing gear for bottom-mounted battery (see photos). FPV build without battery: 43g FPV AUW w/410mAh lipo: 54.4g Non-FPV AUW w/410mAh lipo: 43.7g Version 3 adds clips to hold FC more firmly and provides ~2mm more space between plates, along with a bottom plate variation featuring battery holder tabs for bottom-mounted battery. Using any battery over 400mAh might not clear props with battery mounted on top. I will post additional photos once the build is complete. Changes may be made to this design if necessary during the build process. The most current design files will replace the existing ones. Note: You will need the smallest zip-ties available to secure the camera (or use hot glue). Regular 4" ties from the hardware store are too wide - I found suitable alternatives at a local dollar store. Alternatively, you can use fishing line. Print Settings: Printer: QuorXZ Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: .2mm Infill: 50% Notes: This frame will be tougher and lighter if printed in ABS (Tolerances may also differ when printed in PLA).
