X-Quad

thingiverse

Human: 250 style quad copter. Engineered to safeguard ESC's and provide cooling from propellers. Sturdy yet agile X-Quad, final weight approximately 500 grams. Accommodates five-inch props. Designed for use with motors having an outer diameter of 27mm or smaller. ESC's are mounted inside the arms for added protection. Compatible with flight controllers and features mounting holes for a PDB. Currently lacks anti-vibration mounting for cameras but this will be implemented in a second version when feasible. Note that the Naze32 model seen in the full assembly was obtained from GrabCAD and created by "The M Brothers".

Note that there is a front and back arm. Both these parts are for the left hand side of the quad. They must be mirrored in your slicer to print the right hand arms. Please print the ESC covers between 92% - 97% scale so they fit snugly. They can be held on with tape anyway, so better to be a bit smaller. Materials Required Six 35mm standoffs Twelve 5mm/6mm M3 bolts (for screwing in the standoffs) Ten 20mm M3 bolts (for between the upper and lower plates including the arms) Ten M3 nuts (for the above bolts, you can use lock nuts if desired) Sixteen 5mm M3 bolts (for mounting the motors to the arms, ensure the bolts do not protrude too far into your motors that they touch the windings this bolt length is critical) Four 12mm M3 bolts and four nuts (for attaching the legs if used)
