Semi Ducted Micro Frame (Cheese Frame)

thingiverse

This is a remake of Phredie's outstanding ducted micro frame.\nI crafted this after discussing improvements with a friend at quadcopter.at. He flew my whoop some days ago and we started to talk about ways to make it better. So most of the changes I attribute to noctaro.\nI thickened the walls slightly - my printer requires at least 2 1/2 nozzle widths for the layers to stick together, otherwise they will peel easily.\nI also removed the "swirl" at the end of the ducts and added holes to compensate for the added thickness and allow for better airflow out of the ducts.\nI feel that this frame is slightly more responsive than Phredie's original. And for me it definitely does not break as quickly. It is definitely a bit louder because of the holes.\nWith the original, the quad always sagged quite a bit when decreasing throttle. Now I descend much smoother. \nThis is also a customizable design, you can adjust the motor diameter for the holes, wall widths, heights and more.\nPrint it with 100% infill. You can print it pretty fast with still good results. I have slic3r set up in such a way that this frame prints in about an hour.\nThe attached STL shows the customizer's default settings.\nBanggood Shopping List\nF4 Brushed Flight ControllerMotorsMore Powerful Motors1.25mm connectorsPropsFPV Cam + Transmitter AIOBatteries 25CBatteries 50C\nMicro Receiver of your choice, I use this one with my Turnigy Evolution.\nI highly recommend getting the 50C batteries, they are twice as expensive as the 25C ones, but have more punch, also get at least 12 batteries, then you can charge the first until you are done with the last.\nDon't forget to break in your motors.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: \n MakerGear\n \n Printer: \n X34\n \n Rafts: \n No\n \n Supports: \n No\n \n Resolution: \n 0.2\n \n Infill: \n 100%
