QUADCOPTER BODY

thingiverse

Here is the spun text: My initial prototype of a Quadcopter body has just been completed. The design features two distinct compartments, one for the Lipo battery and another for all electronics. The lower compartment can easily accommodate 2 x 3000mah batteries, with access points at both the front and back for power cables. The upper section includes slotted holes for mounting a flight controller and power distribution board, as well as slots for Velcro straps to securely hold the battery in place. The overall dimensions of this Quadcopter body measure 475mm diagonally, while it is designed to fit motors with a diameter of 28x25mm. The arms and body are connected using M3 nuts and bolts, eliminating the need for any adhesives. I have recently learned that gluing a 3D printed quad together can be problematic, so I've opted for a more reliable approach. I plan to print this design without any raft or supports, as they aren't crucial for its functionality. The lids for both compartments will be added later today or this week. Once the new prototype is completed, I intend to make significant improvements to its design, aiming to reduce weight and enhance its overall appearance. In addition to the Quadcopter body, I have some feet to upload that can be attached directly to the motor mount bolts. I also remember that the rear body has 3x5mm holes and the arms have a single 1x5mm hole close to the motor mount, allowing for LED installations. Print settings will include using an Ultimaker 2 printer with customized print parameters: resolution can be adjusted as needed, while infill density is also up to personal preference.
