This link leads to a YouTube video. A DIY project involving a quadcopter is featured in the video. The quadcopter has 10-inch propellers attached to it. The frame of the quadcopter consists of ABS plastic except for the aluminum boom and metallic screws and nuts, which add weight to the overall structure. Plastic makes up 150 grams of the total weight, while the addition of four aluminum arms, metallic screws, and nuts brings the grand total to 310 grams. This project is designed to run on a small motor that operates with 10-inch propellers and a 4s lipo battery with 5200 mah capacity at 10C. The quadcopter can be configured with an APM pixhawk system or installed with a Gopro camera, allowing for adjustable angles of capture. To ensure stable flight, the quad must possess sufficient strength. The center frame of this project measures 4 mm in thickness and is designed to withstand the rigors of flight. It remains unclear whether this design boasts a lower weight compared to similar frames; however, it presents an exciting opportunity to operate a fully 3D printed plastic quadcopter, crafted by Noppita. On May 7th, 2015, an updated version of this project was released, incorporating an ABS plastic arm STL file and eliminating the need for aluminum arms altogether. As a result, the entire structure is now composed entirely of 100% 3D printed plastic.
