Title: Small 3D printed quadcopter Post by: TeamRecon on February 20, 2014, 12:05:20 AM Hi ,
Thanks for viewing this thread and i would like to thank our sponsor 3Dprintronics.com I have made small form factor Quadcopters with Aluminum , Balsa , Carbon fiber and Glass epoxy . but the problem was weight and if it is light when it crashes the model will break and the joints will be lose . 3D printing is getting famous on the internet and already people have mad 3D printed quadcopters. I wanted to try it out and check the strength of the material (PLA) few days back i designed a frame which is 20x20x0.7cm and i got it 3D printed from 3Dprintronics.com since it is a single piece design without any removable joints it can take a lot of crashes and in the event of breaking something you can glue it or you can heat it and join it(not recommended ) it is very cost effective . Here is the setup i have used Emax CF2805 2840kv Motors HK -15 to 18a ESC flashed with simonK firmware 3S 11.1v 1000mah Zippy's battery 5030 propellers KK2.0 will be upgrading to APM 2.5 flysky Rx & Tx :( waiting for FrSky :) a whole bunch of cable ties Testing: The quadcopter is very agile the flight time was about 15min it took only 30-40% throttle to hover it performed triple flip and crashed :( no damage :) it was really fun to fly it in windy condition now you can buy this frame from 3Dprintronics.com or you can design one and get it printed thanks for reading :) teamrecon.in 3Dprintronics.com Title: Re: Small 3D printed quadcopter Post by: devangflyer on February 20, 2014, 12:29:02 AM Hi team recon , your quad is beautiful , can you tell me the total cost of 3d printing it along with shipping ?
