QUADCOPTER BODY

thingiverse

First prototype of my Quad copter body is now complete. Two separate compartments make it easy to access and manage all the necessary components. The lower section holds the Lipo battery, which can easily accommodate two 3000mah batteries with access holes at both front and back for power cables. All electronics, including the flight controller and power distribution board, are housed in the upper section with slotted holes for easy installation. Velcro straps securely hold the battery in place to prevent any movement during flight. Measuring 475mm diagonally, this design fits perfectly with 28x25mm motors. Arms and body are connected using M3 nuts and bolts, eliminating the need for gluing. Last night I discovered firsthand that gluing a 3D printed quad together can be problematic, so I'll stick to fasteners from now on. This design should print flawlessly; I'm planning to start printing it immediately, so any necessary adjustments will be made soon after. The lids for the two compartments will be designed and added later today or this week. I intend to create a new and improved design in the future that incorporates weight reduction and a sleeker appearance. Additionally, I have some feet that need uploading which attach directly to the motor mount bolts. Printer Settings: Ultimaker is my printer of choice. Specifically, I'm using an Ultimaker 2. Rafts are not necessary in this case. Supports are also unnecessary for this print job.
