Roof or third level deck for DJI F450 Flamewheel

thingiverse

This adds an additional layer to a DJI F450 Flamewheel or similar clone, allowing you to position electronics higher up while presenting a cooler appearance than a mast would. Alternatively, it functions as a sleek-looking cover. To attach it to the frame, print it out and then thread zip ties through the holes provided. The included OpenScad design is fully modifiable to suit the requirements of other models. A crucial note to keep in mind is that I encountered difficulties printing the original version on my Printrbot Simple Metal due to a necessary flipping of the design; hence, the flat top-deck ended up on the bottom while the legs rose upwards. Following feedback, I updated the design by thickening the legs and widening the flat platform atop. The accompanying photos have been refreshed and an f450_roof2.stl file has been included that features these improvements. It is recommended to print it 180 degrees in a top-down orientation (with legs up) as attempting to print it in a standard position would necessitate the use of supports to avoid difficulties during the printing process. My personal experience yielded optimal results by printing mine using PLA and setting layer height at 3mm, accompanied by slicing using CuraEngine. The entire process took approximately 35 minutes on my Printrbot Simple Metal printer.
