QuadCopter Frame Parts

thingiverse

In the QuadCopter build class at HackerSpace Charlotte, a Mini AeroQuad Controller was used along with a Hobby King TR6A v2 Receiver. The motors employed were 2300kv hexTronik 20gram Brushless Outrunner motors, while Turnigy PLUSH 6A ESCs powered them. A Sky Lipo 1300mA 2 cell battery supplied the required energy. Version 2 of Chopper_Vertex and Chopper_Hub were uploaded in this project. To assemble the frame, print 8 Vertexes and 2 Hubs; it is suggested to use 2 green, 2 red, and 4 black vertexes. For the structure, you'll need 4 pieces of 3mm square carbon tube, each 200mm long, and 8 pieces approximately 145mm long (measured after assembly). The complete frame will require around 2 meters of tubing. LED mounts are expected to be available soon. Upon disassembling the project for measurement, the struts were found to be accurately around 145mm in length. Version 2 of the printed parts only includes shape cleanups and lightening holes; all hardware and carbon tube remain unchanged.
