Quad Copter v3 (3D PRINTABLE FOLDING MICRO FPV H QUADCOPTER)

Printing the design files from Thingiverse, I created this quadcopter. To enhance its performance, I added new landing legs that are secured with zip ties, a battery holder for a 4:1 ESC and four MT1804 2480kv motors, and a CC3D as flight controller. The total weight is about 415g when using recommended infills, while it increases to 519g with the battery. Flight time ranges between 6-10 minutes based on flying style. Despite multiple crashes resulting in reprints of parts like base, deck cam, deck, ESC holder, landing legs, arm holders, and arms, and going through numerous propellers, I'm satisfied with the overall performance. Recently, I revised the files and now only use the base from Thingiverse, which has been slightly elongated. The updated design also includes a top cover, propeller guards, and new methods of mounting electronics. The most commonly broken parts are the arms and the base. For those using a CC3D quadcopter made with these parts, I have included my *.uav settings file for programming. While I still need to fine-tune the pitch flips, it should provide a 2-week research head start. Most parts can be printed with a 15-20% infill, but a higher 80% infill is recommended for the base and arms. To assemble this quadcopter, you'll need to print 4 arms, 2 arm holders, 1 base, 1 top cover, 1 battery holder, and 4 landing legs. Additionally, acquire 4 #8-32 screws of varying lengths, 8 #8-32 nuts, 8 lock nuts, and assorted cable ties from a hardware store. Instructions for assembly will be provided soon.
