After building the Spyda 500 quad by Gyrobot, I decided to create my own: The Raptor 500. It uses the same hole patterns for the arms as Spyda 500 and DEEJAYEYE. My setup includes: EMAX 2213 935kv motors that deliver high performance EMAX 30A ESCs provide reliable speed control Ardupilot APM 2.6 w/ telemetry and power module for precise navigation 11.1 5000mAh batteries offer extended flight time Beitian M8N GPS ensures accurate location tracking Chinese gimbal with Storm32 gimbal controller provides smooth video capture The rubber dampeners I used come from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZFEVAJ6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to the landing feet by wallie: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:394957 Print Settings: Printer: Tevo Black Widow Rafts: Not necessary, but optional for extra support Supports: Yes, to ensure stable prints Resolution: 0.2mm for precise details Infill: 40% for a strong yet lightweight structure Notes: Print Settings: Chassis Plates: 25% Infill - I used supports for the dampener mount holes Arms: 40% Gimbal Mount Plate: 20% APM Mount: 20% Battery Stabilizers: 20-25% How I Designed This I used Solidworks to create a precise and detailed design. UPDATES March 24, 2017 Added new chassis plate for traditional X arm pattern. "Raptor 500 Chassis Plate v3.1 - X Pattern". April 3, 2017 Added new chassis plate with "Raptor 500" name. Added new arm file for 35mm height for those who want to add anodized aluminum standoffs. Original arms are at 36mm. height. Additionally, the new arms have an 8mm thick center spar for reduced flexing. Added new standoff file for 35mm height. Added new SolidWorks renders for the new chassis plate.
