Skele7on POWER
By Taylormadearmy on Nov 16, 2019
This is the latest tweak to my Skele7on frame designs - this time for 1206 motors on 3" props.
On 3S this is faaast. On 4S its a rocket!
The latest addition to the frame (don't know why I didn't do this before!) is a channel to keep the motor wires out of the way. It makes a far neater build, better aerodynamics and adds no appreciable weight.
Here is a video on 3S:
4S is too fast for my garden!Photos

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

I've been wanting to print one of your frames since the the first skele7on and picked up some polycarbonate but every where I looked made it sound super hard to print. I have a maker select with a titan aero, 0.4mm nozzle, and pei print surface. Would this with and an improvised cardboard enclosure be enough to get a succesful print you think? Is there any other printing tips or recomendations you would have? I've also got petg, abs, and pla if you think polycarbonate is too difficult.
If you can get your printer hot enough then these frames are small enough to print without an enclosure in my experience... How hot can you get your hotend and bed? You really need a minimum of 290c+ for the hotend and 100C+ for the bed...
If not give it a go in ABS - I'd love to know if it works!
PC is really a mess, you need to know your printer and settings afront really well. Use the PC to print benchies, and use it for daily makes to find out best settings. Yes you have to get really hot and you have to print fast because PC is shrinking a lot when it´s cooling down and then it curling and getting off the build plate. A heated plate is a must, an enclosure not necessarily...
