Tri-Cerocopter

pinshape

Named by my wife, this micro tricopter measures approximately 180mm from shaft to shaft. Designed specifically for the Mini MWC and three ZMR 1804 2400 kV Outrunner Brushless Motors, which require a precise mix of CW and CCW motors, paired with a 3S 950mAh LiPo battery.

At Banggood, you can find the X-Power 1804 2400KV Micro Integration Outrunner Brushless Motor at http://www.banggood.com/-X-Power-1804-2400KV-Micro-Integration-Outrunner-Brushless-Motor-p-923424.html. To assemble the tail block, two 4x10x4 bearings and an M4 bolt (20mm thread, 20mm shank) are required. Be sure to carefully tap the M4 bolt into the tail plate. This project was designed entirely in Inkscape using OpenSCAD plugin and Tinkercad. The parts have been printed, but the airframe remains unfinished or untested as yet. Updates will be provided as progress is made. Instructions for assembly are as follows: The frame, legs, and tail were printed in PLA at 0.2mm with a solid fill (2 perimeters, 2 top/bottom layers), without support, using Slic3r software. The canopy was printed with 4 perimeters, 0.15mm layer, and standard zig-zag support in KissSlicer.
