G-Quad 110

thingiverse

Hey Guys! This is an introduction to my 110 size quad design. These were my objectives: 1. An affordable quad able to fly indoors. 2. It needed to be robust (crash resistant) 3. Have a clean design There is much more to do in the design and testing of this thing. However, I wanted to share it in hopes of getting some suggestions. My list of things to do: 1. Create a latch for the lid. 2. Create a battery mount. 3. Create other hold downs and openings for electronics. Over the next couple of weeks I will be testing and improving on this design. If you decide to start building thing please post images... Enjoy! UPDATE: 7 Feb 2018 Over the last week I have made many small changes to this design which has required it to be completely reworked in Fusion 360 many times. What were the changes? 1. I have resized the motor mounts to snugly fit an 8.5mm diameter motor. I printed the frame on multiple printers to check for discrepancies. (However your mileage may vary) 2. There is now a raised ring inside the motor mounts to allow space for the wires. Now you can push the motors into the mounts without pinching the wires. 3. The camera mount was enlarged (slightly) and tilted upwards at a 10 degree angle. This should help dramatically in forward flight. 4. The arms were narrowed slightly to reduce thrust interference. It also dropped 2 grams from the overall weight of the frame with no noticeable loss in durability. At this point I am waiting for some other parts to show up in the mail before I can test fly it. Although I am going to go out on a limb and say that at this point it should be more than good to go.
