Today I've managed to get my 3D printable whoop up and flying!
10-31-2020 : The .STL is now listed on Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4542870 I've updated the files to remove the need for the Runcam-Nano camera adapator (its now 14 mm wide vs 19 mm), made the area for the motor wiring a bit wider and added two zip-tie locations (right & left side) to strap the battery plug to the frame.
The concept...
- Simple, Completely 3D printable using PLA @ 0.2 mm resolution
- Under 200 grams (151g with 4S-450 mAh battery)
- Full prop guards
- xx04 to xx06 motors size (Currently using 1106 Schrubkraft-4500kv)
- Intergrated FC & VTX
- Overall a cheep to build quad ($150 or less depending on parts sourced)
Sure there are lighter, fast better drones out there but this one I made for fun.
Please note: Added the plot responce from the maiden flight. P-Term looks a bit too high but it flew really nice just using the BF defaults.
Youtube Video of 1st Acro flight. It did really well despite it being very windy outside:
Its quite possibly under proped as I didnt see the current go above 10 amps the entire flight. Either that or the current calibration is out of spec.

Woah! This thing is awesome looking! It reminds me of that BNF you can get, the FUS111. I love that so many probs with current frames can easily be solved with this move to a 3d printed frame! The fastener customization possibilities! You can just make a custom mount for ANY board you can fit in there, so awesome!!!!!
Why not just make the cam mount narrower, I see you used an adapter there?
This 5" one ? https://rotorbuilds.com/build/15662
I'll upload the Simplex 3" frame sometime tomorrow for you to experiment with.
