The WASP Drone (Revisited)

thingiverse

This "Autodesk - Inventor" built drone is a breeze for first-time drone builders to work with. With drone clubs popping up in many high schools, what better way to nurture students' skills than to provide an affordable drone frame to build from? This frame is designed with the user in mind, making it super easy to assemble. Assembly can even be done using zip-ties, by utilizing the provided .2" diameter holes to secure parts together. Not only will this drone teach students the basics of drones like aviation, soldering, wiring, and Ohm's law, but also how to utilize "Autocad" software to customize and personalize their own drone frame. This drone frame is built to accommodate common hardware used in 250mm class drones. The motor mounts feature holes that are 16mm and 19mm apart, which should be enough to hold motors powerful enough to lift the drone off the ground. A "OpenPilot CC3D Flight Controller" would fit perfectly in this case, paired with a modest 3,200mAh battery to fit snugly within the bottom. The placement of the battery will help keep a low center of gravity, resulting in a steady and agile drone. The WASP Drone frame also comes equipped with open faces in the front and back, left empty to encourage modifications like Gopro mounts. Overall, The WASP Drone frame is perfect for both first-time builders and seasoned enthusiasts alike.
