SeCopter 250 - Quadcopter Frame V1.0

thingiverse

I am building a custom 3D printed quadcopter frame using leftover parts at home, currently including a KK2 board, Multistar Motor, and Afro ESC set from Hobbyking. These components will power test flights of this model indoors until weather permits outdoor flying. My goal is to design a sturdy yet lightweight structure that balances stiffness with reduced material usage. Although the current prototype might be slightly over-engineered, I plan to optimize future designs for greater efficiency. I've included features like snap-on landing gear to minimize potential damage from crashes and enhance durability. With this 460g total weight including a 1200mAh battery, we are well on our way to making this aircraft airworthy! For feedback or input on this project please do not hesitate to share your suggestions or opinions. Below are my print settings for reference: Printed on RepRap's Mendel90 printer with resolution set at 0.2mm and infill percentage at 15%. Notes: Consider adding a solid top layer of at least 0.5mm thickness in conjunction with 3 solid layers below to improve stiffness, and use high density settings in the G-code if needed for greater rigidity.
