SquirtyDogg // 2.5 inch ducted sub250g drone

thingiverse

After a couple minor crashes with my GEPRC CineLog 25 I got sick about it's brittle thin and easy breaking plastic parts and decided to give the electronics a new cover. The CineLog was not bad but its ducts were so small that I doubt they had any much positive effect. It took about 3 or 4 iterations and complete prints to reach the sub250 area with an unmodified caddx VTX. (Including a 650mAh 4S LiPo: 259 grams). Each duct has a hole for three hex-nylon-spacer (25mm long) which will hold the top and bottom plates together with nylon screws (10mm long) You will need 14 hex-nylon-spacer and 28 nylon screws. As receiver I use a Crossfire Nano RX and just the whip antenna which is held between the bottom frame and the ducts with the screws. In total there is only one zip-tie needed for the power cable. The nano cam holder can be installed without screws and sits just stuck between the top and bottom plates. Make sure to also route the RX antenna through the cam holder as otherwise it won't snap in.
