Silverback Fully 3D Printable FPV Drone Frame

thingiverse

This is my second fully 3D printed drone design that's been refined to address many problems from my previous attempt. I've achieved what I consider a very reliable, albeit slightly overweight, 5-inch frame design. Starting with the bottom section, the battery plate attaches to the belly, securely holding your lipos in place and streamlining battery switching. The stiff bottom frame is printed from PLA at 100% infill for added strength. The arms are designed to accommodate 2280kv style motors with M2 screw holes, while zip ties can be used to secure any loose wires on the arms. The plastic standoffs screw onto M4 screws, safeguarding your electronics stack. The "antenna plate" fits into my 30mm stack and securely holds my Spektrum serial receiver and generic brand VTX. The top plate should be printed at 100% infill for maximum durability. The "FPV mount" is specifically designed to fit the camera I'm using. Before you take flight, ensure your motors aren't overheating! Overheating motors can soften PLA and cause a crash. To prevent overheating, reduce the pitch of your propellers or lower the derivative in your flight controller software.
