Wolfbone 225mm race quadcopter frame

thingiverse

Get started racing quadcopters with this simple and durable frame that's easy to print. It fits on a 200mm x 200mm bed, weighing in at just 87g with 50% infill ABS. I used ABS slurry for the build, but PEI sheet is definitely better. Your finished quad will weigh between 250-400g AUW with battery included, depending on how you assemble it. Print Settings Printer: I used my trusty Davinci 1.0 with a Repetier mod to print this design. Rafts: No rafts needed for this build. Supports: This design doesn't require any supports. Resolution: I printed at a resolution of .02mm for the best results. Infill: Experimenting with infill percentages, I found that 20-50% works well. You might want to try even less for a lighter build. How I Designed This I designed this quadcopter in Autodesk Inventor Pro 2016 using a simple 2D layout. I added arms and extruded the design, then applied fillets for a smooth finish. Custom Section Project Name: Race Quad Overview & Background: Maybe you're part of a computer club at school or physics class looking for a hands-on project. Building a quadcopter can be a fun and educational experience, with drone parts costing between $200-300 and video equipment adding another $100-200. Objectives: The goal is to learn while having fun building this quadcopter. Audiences: This project is suitable for anyone aged 15-99 who's interested in learning about physics, aeronautics, and robotics. Subjects: You'll learn applied electronics, aeronautics, and RF theory by building and flying this quadcopter. Skills Learned (Standards): By the end of this project, you'll have gained hands-on experience with electronics, aeronautics, and RF theory. Lesson/Activity: Build as many quads as possible in a group or individually, discussing theory and operation as you go. This will help solidify your understanding of the technology involved. Duration: Allow 8-16 hours for completion, depending on how quickly you work and the level of detail you want to achieve. Preparation: Before starting this project, make sure you have a basic knowledge of electrical circuits, physics, and safety procedures to avoid injury.
