The frame is credited to PEX96. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2188747 This extension of P3X's frame design modifies the top plate to better protect the propeller and prevent it from flying out during crashes, also altering the bottom plate to include 25x25 mounting points and reducing motor hole size as screws were punching through. I opted not to place the camera on top, so I created a camera mount that fits in front of the drone. The Eachine TX05 camera and VTX are combined into one unit. The battery is mounted on top for improved stabilization. Components inside include: FC + 4in1: https://www.banggood.com/20x20mm-XJB-F428-Micro-F4-AIO-OSD-BEC-Flight-Controller-28A-Blhel_S-BB2-2-4S-4-in-1-ESC-p-1191889.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN Motor 1104: (I probably wouldn't use these again, as they seem too weak) https://www.banggood.com/Emax-Babyhawk-Spare-Part-One-PC-1104-5250KV-1-2S-Brushless-Motor-p-1151486.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc_ods&utm_campaign=arvin-cam-sds-view-airtrack-content&utm_content=arvin&gclid=Cj0KCQjw17n1BRDEARIsAFDHFezvC8LBN6CHAwmROYY-ta65GBiH4Nb5NfspPI84Thp3M9QUfQqXx3EaAu3_EALw_wcB&cur_warehouse=CN Better motors: https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-Twig-115mm-3-Inch-FPV-Racing-Drone-Spare-Part-1105-5200KV-3-4S-Brushless-Motor-p-1571620.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN 3S Lipo Battery: https://www.banggood.com/Gaoneng-GNB-11_1V-550mAh-80160C-3S-Lipo-Battery-XT30-Plug-For-Eachine-Lizard95-FPV-Racer-p-1254203.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN Camera + VTX: https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-TX05-0_0152550100250mW-Switchable-w-OSD-AIO-5_8G-72CH-VTX-600TVL-NTSC-Mini-FPV-Camera-p-1181013.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN Frsky XM+ receiver: https://www.banggood.com/Frsky-XM+-Micro-D16-SBUS-Full-Range-Mini-RC-Receiver-Up-to-16CH-for-RC-FPV-Racing-Drone-p-1110020.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=AU This micro drone is a neat little package and I appreciate the cage design, which makes me feel safer flying indoors. A bigger battery would be beneficial for longer flights - with the Eachine 1105 motors, it's ridiculously fast. Everything was printed using PLA, and it holds up well, except that I need to add rubber pads on the bottom or some impact-absorbing material as the top has broken a few times already. Flying on 3S Lipo is very enjoyable. I appreciate P3X for the original cage design.
