Volar Quadcopter

thingiverse

For a school project in Grade 10, each student was required to design and develop a product over the course of an entire semester. I decided to create a mini-quadcopter as my project, with the ultimate goal of designing a portable and user-friendly model, along with step-by-step instructions made available on Thingiverse. The webpage includes high-definition pictures and files of the mini-quadcopter that are ready for download. I operate my Volar quadcopter using T-Motor 2204-2300kv motors, paired with 5x3 propellers, a 12amp Afro ESC, and Naze32 flight controller. I can attest to its performance. Features: * The vibration isolated FC plate minimizes shaking and ensures smooth flight. * My quadcopter is designed to carry 6' propellers, allowing for improved maneuverability and stability. * Extension mounting holes enable secure connection of SMA connectors, reducing the risk of signal loss or damage. * Vertical R/C antenna mounting holes ensure a clear and stable signal, while separate FPV antenna holes maintain a clear video feed. Instructions for building my quadcopter are available under the "Download This Thing!" tab on the webpage. Users can access high-resolution images and 3D printing files to facilitate their project. To begin, gather the following materials: Materials Needed: * Infill: + Baseplate: 80-100% infill + Middle Plate: 40% infill + Top Plate: 20-40% infill + Arms: 80-100% infill Assembly: Arms: * 8x M3x12mm screws * 8x M3 nuts Main Plate: * 6x M3x10mm screws * 6x Vibration Bobbins (attached to the main plate with M3x6mm screws) Middle Plate: * 4x M3x8mm screws * 4x M3x25mm stand-offs Top Plate: * 4x M3x8mm screws
