Flite Test True-X Gremlin Frame System

thingiverse

This is a set of similarly sized, printable frames for the EMAX 1104 brushless motor power pack that both EMAX and Flite Test sells. It is one of the first things that I have designed in a CAD program (and the first actually good one), so let me know if there are any improvements I could make. Files: Top plates: -GremlinTopPlateV3goodcamwidth.STL -GremlinTopPlateV4.STL Bottom plates/assemblies: Unibody frames: -GremlinFrame2V2sidefillets.STL (most durable, cannot use aero shell with this unless using screws longer than 5mm) -GremlinFrame2V3_2mm_tabs.stl (second most durable) -GremlinFrame2V3skinnyarms.stl (least durable, less thrust lost) -gremlinframe2V3reinforced skinny arms.stl (a bit more durable, a bit less thrust lost) Removable arms bottom plate (the FC to motor distance is 2mm longer on this frame compared to the unibody plates): -Grem3 arm 2.stl (need 4 of these) -Grem3 top plate 2.stl -Grem3 top plate 2.stl I just finished building the quad (with my first frame designs, as of writing this portion of the description), and on 3S, it is a lot of fun. Technically, the components from EMAX aren't rated for 3S, but I have not had any issues, and I know that many other people fly the Gremlin Power Pack on 3S with no issues as well. I would recommend using blue locktite on the motor screws, as after a couple flights (without the locktite), I had motor screws backing out. Recently, after transferring my electronics over to the main plate with skinny arms, I simply filled in the motor screw holes with hot glue after mounting the motors instead of using locktite. This has worked so far. Also, without all four motor screws in each motor, you will get a lot of vibrations. Enjoy!
