Viper X210 FPV Quadcopter Frame

pinshape

This is a frame designed specifically for freestyle/racing-sized quadcopters. Its primary objective is to deliver an incredibly fast, lightweight, and aerodynamic design while maintaining the ability to withstand tough crashes. The frame can be printed without support on 200mm*200mm printbeds. It accommodates standard 2205/2204 motors and electronics with 30.5mm mounting hole spacing, ensuring compatibility with most racing quadcopter equipment. This updated version of my 190 frame boasts a stronger pod that resists breakage more effectively than its predecessor. The weight of the frame is under 100 grams with my print settings (baseframe 75g + pod 20g). This part necessitates printing in a robust and rigid material. While PLA can be used, it's brittle and prone to snapping during severe crashes; however, the quadcopter will fly well otherwise. ABS works well, as I have utilized it, while other materials worth considering are PETG, nylon, or polycarbonate if you're able to print them. If printing with ABS, acetone smoothing is highly recommended. It enhances the strengthening of layer bonds by reducing surface stress concentrations. I didn't have a large enough container for smoothing the frame, so I painted on a mixture of acetone and ABS plastic. I used 60% triangular infill, with three shells, top, and bottom layers for maximum strength. Aeropod This part should ideally be printed with a flexible material like TPU or TPE; however, since I don't have that capability, I printed it in PLA. This has worked well so far. You need to add support for the screw holders manually, as adding support structure all over the part is not necessary. Use meshmixer if your slicer doesn't support manual support. These are the parts I would recommend if you're looking to enter the world of miniquads on a budget. Motors: BR2205S-2300KV ESCs: RS20A-V2 Flight controller: Naze 32 PDB: Matek PDB Propellers: Racerstar 5042 3 Blade Nylon spacer screws Battery straps FPV Gear You can fly the quadcopter without the fpv gear, but it's highly recommended to use it. Camera: I have designed the pod for the RunCam PZ0420M camera. VTX: Eachine ET526 5.8G 40CH 25mW200mW600mW Switchable FPV Transmitter Antenna: Aomway 5.8GHz FPV 4 Leaf Clover AV Transmission RHCP Antenna Misc For a transmitter, I would recommend getting a Taranis X9D PLUS; it's an exceptional transmitter that you can use for years. If you have a tight budget, get the FS i6, or the Turnigy Evolution. 4s batteries are absolutely recommended; the Infinity Graphene is great and cheap.
