Sylphid quadcopter frame

thingiverse

This is a quadcopter frame designed for use with 5 inch props, created to replace a damaged frame on an older quadcopter model. The unibody baseplate fits snugly onto a 200x200mm printer bed. I've added a 20 degree action cam mount suitable for Mobius or Session form factor action cams, offering a 20 degree overhang that may require supports on certain printers. Print Settings: Printer: Cocoon Create Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 30% Notes: PLA plastic has been used, but it won't survive crashes as well as an expensive carbon fibre frame. 30% infill seems sufficient for my needs, though different pilots may prefer varying levels of infill. Post-Printing: Two baseplates are included - the 1806 plate suits smaller motors with 2mm screws and hole spacing up to 16mm, while the 2205 plate accommodates larger motors with 3mm screws and hole spacing between 16-19mm. Thirty-seven millimeter standoffs from hobbyking were used. There is a 14.8mm gap between the front two standoffs, providing sufficient space for a standard Runcam swift camera or similar model. However, cameras with larger lenses may not fit. Standoffs that are too short can create clearance issues for propellers, and those that are too thick may not leave enough room for the camera.

An alternate top plate with a board camera mount is also included, although it may require some modification.
