Newer MK3 Version at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2895964 710mm Hexacopter (6 arms). More info and pics at:http://blog.lowres.xyz/ Everything that can be 3d printed is 3d printed on the multi copter. (PLA). 710mm between motor centers 6x 800kv motors 2x 5000mha lipo batteries ~30minute flight time (23minute aggressive flying or 38 minutes chilled flying with Gopro camera). Top speed ~85km/h. Additional carry capacity about 2Kg. 6x Propellers 11x5 APM 2.6+ flight computer with GPS. The APM is cushioned on rubber vibration damping balls. 6x 16mm carbon fiber arms Legs and additional struts are 9mm carbon fiber Location pins are 4mm aluminum All nuts and bolts are 3mm. Updated Hub (Copterhubv27_Updated.stl) which uses nuts/bolts instead of pins to locate the arms. Just pins were not a secure fit and vibration was wearing the Hub/Arms so there was play. The Nuts/Bolts prevent this and ensures a secure fit.

My setup Motors, ESC's and batteries hardly get warm. PLA is fine for parts which do not get hot, higher kv motors tend to get hotter so care needs to be taken.
