Simple Quad Design

prusaprinters

<p>Quick design i made for a quadcopter that uses 13x13x150mm hollow aluminium arms, a 4 in 1 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 little tricky to get connected. Its defiantly something ill work on in the future but for now i'm just going to solder the motors straight to the ESC.</p> <p>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.)</p> <p>Hardware:</p> <p>M3x8 16</p> <p>M3x25 4</p> <p>M3 Nuts 20</p> <p>M4x45* 4</p> <p>M4 Nuts 4</p> <p>M5x17 1</p> <p>M5 Nut 1</p> <p>Velcrostrap for battery</p> <p>*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 for the standoffs if you want.</p> <p>I added another top piece to accommodate a full sized gopro.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.15</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Used 4 outer shells, could probably use less infill but i was having problems with the top layer. You could probably also print at .2 layer height. Once i get my printer working at 100% im also going to experiment with using a 0.8mm nozzle.</p> </p></p> Category: R/C Vehicles
