E013 deadcat frame

thingiverse

I remade the Nico_FPV's frame design. My Eachine E013 model had connectors, which makes life much easier, but might be heavier. I had to re-solder and push the battery connector to stick out from the top. This allows connecting it the other way around so be careful if you decide to do this mod. This thing (PCB and camera) is quite resistant - I drowned it once already. I hit maaany trees and the ground countless times and it still lives. One motor connector fell off, so I had to solder it again directly on the pcb. It is in fact really fast, but much more vulnerable. And get yourself some props asap.. at least with my skills it's a must. I also bought some new motors which came with little rubber bands, I got 8 so that's what I plan to wrap the motors with.. otherwise they constantly fall out either way. I also put zip ties on the arms as in the picture, to protect the pcb and motors, and to level it a bit but that breaks the front case on crashes, so I need to make it a bit stronger. Fine tuning after each battery change is mandatory! Always carry some super glue with you! I glued a motor together cause the bottom fell out, i glued the frame a couple of times.. it's priceless. It's still work in progress and I plan to print further versions soon. Original frame: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2804223
