3D Printed Hexacopter

thingiverse

This Hexacopter is based off of my Quadcopter designs. (Which are based off of MikeyB's Quadcopter.) Changes from the previous design include: 2 more arms, for a total of 6 Longer arms, Better landing gears Overall redesigns for improved usability The hexacopter was printed on an UltiMax DYI 3D printer because the arms do not fit on many printers, and I needed larger print bed.http://www.ultibots.com/ultimax-3d-printer-diy-kit/ Just added V2 files for stronger arms, and better camera mounting. Don't use original arms as the motor mountings could fail.
