Quadcake V1 - 3d printable acro quad frame 210mm

thingiverse

I had set out to design a quadcopter frame that could withstand crashes, so I tried various available frames and was left disappointed. Determined to create something durable, I decided to take matters into my own hands. The main beams of the arm sweep into each other in a curve to avoid direct angle pressure points and distribute leverage force during impact. This design choice aims to minimize damage by reducing stress on the frame's structural integrity. I have only flown this quadcopter once since completing its construction, but I am eager to test it further and gather feedback from others. The name "Quadcake" might seem odd given its shape is not round, but during my design process, the phrase "plastic pancake" kept popping into my mind, leaving me no choice but to use it as a nickname. Here are some key features of this quadcopter: - It uses 220X motors. - Smaller batteries with capacities ranging from 1000 to 1500mAh and voltages between 3S and 4S. To improve the design further, I am planning to make several modifications. These include redoing the Action Cam Mount (currently unusable), moving the FPV Cam mount forward to increase clearance, and creating a battery compartment with landing legs at the bottom to compensate for height differences. If you have any suggestions or improvements in mind, please don't hesitate to share them with me!
