Realacc Purple215 Top Plate with camera mount

prusaprinters

<p>Realacc Purple215 frame looks great but based on my experience is not practical at all.</p> <ol> <li>camera is blocked by aluminum bars, on each side, cropping the picture.</li> <li>you can only use 5 inch props, because anything longer hits the canopy.</li> <li>Very crowded build, hard/nearly impossible to do maintenance without unsoldering.</li> </ol> <p>Quadcopters recently became more about looks than serviceability.</p> <p>This inspired me to redesign this from canopy style to top plate with camera mount for Runcam Micro Eagle, so that I can get unobstructed view, use 5.5" props for longer flight times and easily dismantle and service components.</p> <p>Use aluminum standoffs of any length based on how tall your electronics stack is.</p> <p>Also, included H-type LED and receiver mounts (RX mount for antenna tubes).</p> <p>This mod does not add up to the overall weight of the quad, in fact it shaves off a few grams from original.</p> <p>4/1/2018 - added lighter version</p> <p>I printed parts out of PETG. I think this material is best suited for outdoor RC parts, since it's UV resistant unlike ABS which turns to powder from exessive exposure to sunlight. And of course I would not print anything for RC hobby out of PLA, it's only good indoor parts.</p> <p>Please comment if you would like to change something about this design.</p> <p>Have fun printing... Don't forget to like it if you find it useful.</p> Category: R/C Vehicles
