Tiny Whoop Arrow Frame

thingiverse

This is a custom frame designed to replace the stock Inductrix v1, aka Tiny Whoop. It's my first frame design, born out of five different revisions. I tested this (as shown) with an Inductrix v1 board and made sure it meets all the necessary requirements. If you successfully use another board with this frame, please let me know so I can add that information here. I plan on making further improvements to this design - if you have any helpful feedback, don't hesitate to share. Printing this frame takes about 35 minutes using my printer. The frame itself weighs less than six grams, while the entire assembly (including board, camera, camera mount, battery, screws, motors, etc.) comes in at 26 grams. I printed it with no supports or rafts and used a 20% infill. For optimal results, I recommend using ABS plastic as PLA is too brittle and may break after a few crashes. Please note that there's a specific orientation for this frame - refer to the picture provided. The board will only fit one way due to how the motor connectors are set up. Print Settings: Printer: Reach 3D Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .30 Infill: 20% Notes: The motor holes may be too tight or too loose, depending on your printer's calibration. I tested this design on my custom printer, which is calibrated pretty well but not perfectly. If the motor holes are too tight, you can use a hobby knife to scrape out some material. Alternatively, try scaling the model (101-102%). If the motor holes are too loose, it's probably not a concern unless the motors are wobbling around. You can scale down the model if desired (98-99%). Once you get the motors in place, I recommend using a dab of hot glue to secure them to the motor holder. This will prevent them from moving around. This frame does not have a built-in battery holder. Instead, I use a rubber band that straps over my camera. I may add a battery holder in future versions, but for now, this setup works well. The frame also has a specific orientation - refer to the picture provided. If the motor connectors are obstructing your view, simply flip it around and try again.
