Nano Goblin VTOL conversion V1

thingiverse

This project is still very much a work in progress, with several components likely to change after the first successful flight. I decided to convert my Nano Goblin into a VTOL for several reasons: to familiarize myself with Ardupilot, to improve my skills with F360, and to grasp the basics of 3D printing. Printing notes: The parts were printed at 30% infill, but due to numerous thin areas they are almost completely solid. I used supports for most of the pieces, except in areas where the spars passed through, which would have otherwise resulted in support structures being unnecessary. For example, on the front motor mount, supports were applied under the curved sections while removed from the square spar channels. This was done within the slicer, Cura 3.6 in this instance. Otherwise, printed using standard PLA settings (200/60). The square spars are primarily 3mm in thickness, with a single 6mm component running horizontally through the body and wings. The round spar at the rear is also 3mm. Two flat 4x1mm spars were added to the top and bottom of the plane before the rear motor (part referred to as "spar to spar bracket"). The quad motors employed are 1306, utilizing a standard 12mm bolt pattern. Any questions can be directed my way.
