I'm excited to share with you my latest creation, an 'X' style quadcopter frame that's perfect for adding attachments. This design is specifically tailored to be printed on small printers, making it a great starting point for those just beginning their journey into 3D printing and flying. As part of my exploration in these fields, I designed this frame with the primary purpose of serving as a platform for robotics, utilizing computer controller flight. However, I must say that flying RC is an absolute blast, and the small size of this quadcopter means that even minor mistakes won't have disastrous consequences. All parts of the design, except for the electronics, are fully printable and can be reprinted if needed. In fact, I've printed at least nine sets of arms so far! You'll find two different arm styles, with only one set of four being required to get started. The GoPro-style mounts are also included as accessories, but feel free to skip printing the feet if you don't need them. To assemble the quadcopter, I used 2-inch machine screws to secure the legs in place.
