UBQ 180 200 unibody quadcopter

thingiverse

The UBQ 180/200 is a lightweight quadcopter built with a single 3D printed unibody. The main goal was to create a frame that's easy to replace and quick to swap out. You can switch to the new frame by unscrewing a few things and cutting some zip ties, taking about 10-15 minutes to move the electronics and motors over. Flight testing showed that this printed frame is incredibly sturdy, especially for its size. It holds standard flight controllers (FCs) and most electronic speed controllers (ESCs). Even large ESCs like Afros can fit, although they might be a tight squeeze. The motor mounting pattern fits almost any motor from 1306 to 22XX, and standard FPV equipment also fits. UBQ 180 requires 4-inch props, while the UBQ 200 uses either 4 or 5-inch props. To build this quadcopter, you'll need: * 4-8 standoffs measuring 35mm (you can skip them or use shorter ones if you won't be using the camera mount) * 4-8 M3x12 metal screws * 4-8 M3x6 metal screws * 4 M3x15 plastic screws (optional, for mounting the FC) UPDATE 1: The V2 files are now available and support 220X motors with a maximum diameter of 28mm and an M3 mounting pattern of 16x19mm. These new files also feature thicker arms and minor design changes. UPDATE 1.1: A revised top file is out, featuring more holes for rapstraps and VTX-extension cables. UPDATE 2: The UBQ 180 V3 has been released, boasting a slightly different design with thinner arms. UPDATE 3: Introducing the UBQ 180 V4, which takes care of the frame's weakest point by adding thicker motor mounts. UPDATE 4: A lowrider top part is still in development but is looking very promising and cool. UPDATE 5: The TopV3 file has been updated to feature 3mm thick material and rearranged holes and slots. UPDATE 6: A 20-degree tilted Runcam mount is available, recommended for printing with soft materials like PLA, Ninjaflex, or Bendlay. This experimental design should be mounted on top of the frame, so you'll need to figure out how to attach your battery to the bottom. The upcoming final frame files will include slots for mounting the battery. UPDATE 7: A tiny Runcam/Mobius riser is also available.
