PLA - Micro Kwad

myminifactory

I love my Blade Inductrix, pushing the limits of my flying skills means that I end up breaking a lot of frames. And while ago, inductrix frames were reasonably cheap, but now they are nearly £8 + P&P. So, I got to thinking, wouldn't be great if I could print a frame whenever I needed one, in whatever color I felt like? This design does, therefore, provide a temporary solution for those weekends when you break your frame, you have no spares, & the shops are closed. Now you can print your own frame until you can order a new one. And more importantly, it keeps you flying whilst waiting for your new frame to arrive... The design has taken a few weeks to perfect, and I still have a little work to do, to make it a little lighter... But the good news is I know have a fully flying Micro Kwad that I can print in any color I choose from Rigid.ink great range, in either PLA, or PLA+ for about a £1, including; frame, & camera, battery, motor mounts. Flight times - Well, I'm getting a good 3 min flight time, and plenty of power, with an all up weight of the parts (without the motors, camera or FC); PLA Micro Kwad @ 8g, compared to the: Ragg-E @ 7g, Lynx Heli @ 6g, Inductrix Frame @ 5g... So, in summary, this design allows you to print your own frame in 1 hour & 15 mins for a £1! How cool is that? The range of colors from Rigid allows you to really personalize your model to suit your personality or mood;) I would like to say a big thank you to Cemal Kucuk AKA DroneJunkie for all his help and good advice whilst designing this frame and especially the remix of his motor cap design.
