Simple Quad Design

thingiverse

Quick design I came up with for a quadcopter that uses 13x13x150mm hollow aluminum arms, a four-in-one speed controller, and one of the Naze32 boards (30.5mm x 30.5mm). The leads from the motors are meant to go through the arms but are a bit tricky to connect. It's definitely something I'll work on in the future, but for now, I'm just going to solder the motors straight to the ESC. Also, it should be noted that I've never built a quad before, so who knows how well this will even work. If you made the arms shorter, you could probably get something better at acro, but I was going for a more stable quad here (I believe the prop/motor combo I got were DJI clones). Hardware: M3x8 16 M3x25 4 M3 Nuts 20 M4x45 * 4 M4 Nuts 4 M5x17 1 M5 Nut 1 Velcro strap for battery *If you don't want the top piece, which is just meant for extra gear (VTX and GPS in my case), you only need a M4x25. You can also change the height of the standoffs if you want. I added another top piece to accommodate a full-sized GoPro.
