RoboCat 270mm DIY Quadcopter Drone - Amazing!

thingiverse

Hi Thingiverse friends, I'm excited to share my experience building my first racing drone. Since I'd never assembled one before, everything was a surprise for me, but after doing some research, I think this kit is the perfect base to get started in the world of drones. In this thread, I'll add 3D printable improvements specifically designed for this model, which include Power PCB Support, LED light for Tail / Nose, Camera Supports, GPS Supports, and Battery holder. This RoboCat 270 kit was kindly provided by Gearbest, a big website that offers both DIY drone setup options and factory-assembled drones. Thank you to all the amazing people at Gearbest! Let's get back to the drone. This thread includes everything you need to assemble your Drone. Here are the components I used in this project: * Carbon fiber Quadcopter Frame * Marspower 2204 Motors x4 * Propeller 5030 x4 * CC3D flight controller * Power distribution board * Lipo LiFe Low Voltage Buzzer Alarm 12A motor ESC battery 2200mAh 11.1V 30C Lipo * Transmitter * Charger compatible kit with some parts The RoboCat feels very balanced from the start, and I was impressed by its fine stability of flight and response. It's easy to drive and assemble in a simple beautiful line. For these reasons, it was selected to start this project. This drone is fully upgradeable, which means you can add more things to your drone over time. You can leave it as you like... GPS, FPV, 3D Print improvements, etc. The carbon fiber chassis feels rugged and lightweight. It has a thickness of 1.5mm thick fuselage and 3mm thick arms for better support the power from motors. In the videos, you can see a fast assemble and all parts received in a single pass. Hardware is very easy to identify, but it comes without instructions. However, I found an image that came well for the Assembly of the Robo. Patience at the time to assembly is also recommended, especially if you're new to drone building. It's better to take your time and make sure everything is secure before flying. Once you have more experience, it will be easy to modify the parameters of your Robocat and load more aggressive flight configs on your CC3D board. For more information about Librepilot, see this link Connected to the CC3D, I have the receiver and Transmitter Sky Fly FS T6 with a simple wiring per channel and protected by the external housing feline line from this model. On the right side, I had to drill a little the side plastic protection since it could not connect the ESC drivers. In my conclusion, this drone can make dreams reality for anyone interested in starting in the world of drones with a serious model and quality. Not be mistaken when I say it's also a drone for starters. This drone has a RACING spirit in all parts of its body and configured in an aggressive flight mode, it can be very fast. I've learned to fly drones with this one, and while I'm still not too good, I 100% recommend it for beginners. It's easy to Fly and config. If you have any troubles with the basic configuration from the Transmitter and the CC3D flightboard, feel free to message me.
