Pollux v2 Hexacopter with 10° forward angled Motors

thingiverse

The plates are made from carbon fiber sourced from carbon-posten.de, while the motor mount is a 3D printed part from Shapeways. This design is specifically for a Hex with forward-facing motors, having a forward angle of 10°. The T-Motor MN1806 2300KV motor is designed to work best with this setup. For assembly, you will need 18 M4x10 screws, 18 M4 locknuts (DIN985), 10 M3x40 PCB spacer female/female pieces, and 20 M3x10 nylon 6/6 screws. Additionally, 4 x 3mm washers with a height of 3mm are required, though the user mentions using M5 Nylon nuts instead. For the motor mount, you'll need 24 M2x8 screws and 24 M2 locknuts (DIN985). If you experience difficulties screwing or unscrewing the locknut, it can be loosened to improve fit. The flight controller requires 4 M3x10 PCB spacer female/male pieces and 4 x 3mm washers with a height of 3mm (again, M5 Nylon nuts are suggested by the user). Two versions of this design are available: V0.2, which fixed the LiveCamMount fitting and reduced maximum camera screw spacing to 34mm, and V2.0, which reduced plate sizes for improved climb rates. The user has also provided FPV maiden videos showcasing these designs at http://youtu.be/HVizB0mzKK8 (V2.0) and http://youtu.be/aQQPWVTU-34 (V2).
