DJI F450 improvements

thingiverse

This project focuses on a redesign of the 450 frame from DJI to include a lot of improvements. It is designed to fit a PixHawk Flight Controller, mounted on an embedded dumper board included in the new upper board of the F450 Shell. A high resistant cover is designed to protect the flight controller inspired in the DJI Inspire designs. All the additional electronics are included under the shell cover with enough access to manipulate them on the field. The model is designed to fit a GPS, a Buzzer, an external Led&USB board, the security switch, 3dr telemetry, receiver and all the cables. In the future I will design some type of lateral cover with ease disposal to protect the electronic from dust and lateral hazards ;) The bottom plate also includes some improvements. First of all, it includes a battery barrier to help insert and maintain the battery on place (size of a 2200 3S). These vertical barriers also offer more strength to the design. It also includes some specially designed holes to attach a 32GB Gimbal plate with 4 damper balls. Finally, the projects include a redesign of a very famous gimbal design (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:262809) to fit on the bottom of the Quad. This gimbal is designed to snap a Mobius Cam, but the arm of the gimbal, make very difficult to access to power button of the camera, so I redesigned it to make it easier to operate it. To enable the attachment of the gimbal, it is necessary to include 4 legs. The included legs are not my design, but I cannot remember where I grabbed them. The legs provided in this model are no tall enough to land with the gimbal attached, so be aware to include some extra-large legs on the model (I will redesign them in the future). All the work has been done with the (extremely easy to use) tool Tinker Cad, Which I clearly recommend. You can access the project freely here: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/gnYhNaWjS5L-pixhawk-cover-dji-f450-pixhawk-improvements-v2/edit Hope you enjoy it as much as I have done during the design and creation process ;) I have just uploaded a standard and large version of the legs and a small modification of the gimbal design just to enable access the buttoms of the mobius. Just take not two thing: first the design are not mine, I have just modified them to fit my needs. Second, the standard legs do not have length enough to fit the gimball. You will need the extended ones. If you need to modify them, just grab from the tinkercad link Print Settings Printer: BQ Prusa I3 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: Mid (0.2) Infill: 20% Notes: Be aware to include supports on the upper protection shell.
