Martian II Quadcopter Skirt

thingiverse

Complete skirt for the Martian II quadcopter frame. I've been using this for the past 4 weeks and it's been great for keeping the electronics protected from dirt and moisture, plus the camera angle hasn't slipped once. It's been designed this specifically for my setup so your mileage may vary depending on your equipment, but if there's a simple modification you would like to accommodate your setup please ask and if it's a simple enough change I'll create another version for you. It's designed for the standard 35mm x 5mm standoffs. My setup is as follows: I'm using a Foxeer XAT600M HS1177 FPV camera that measures 29mm from side to side which mounts via the small self tapping screws either side. (that measurement is from the flat part of the lugs rather than the actual body) It will flex a little in this area so should be able to accommodate slightly different sized cameras. There is also a cu-out to allow for the power connectors of a Matek PDB. I've not tried it with the standard Martian/ Alien style PDB as I didn't want to use it due to the lack of a voltage regulator so can't comment on whether it would fit. Measuring by eye, the minimum camera angle is roughly 10 degrees, maximum angle is roughly 50 degrees. There are holes on the back to accept the antenna pigtail and also a Matek LCD and buzzer board. Recesses on the top for battery straps in the middle and rear sections. Recess on the RHS for the XT60 mount of a Matek PDB. UPDATE 15th Apr 2017 Added some ribs to indicate camera angles of 0,10,20,30,40,50,60 UPDATE 31st Mar 2017 I've now uploaded a new version (Martian II Skirt 35mm version 2.stl) which has the pillar holes slightly increased in size from 5.5mm to 5.9mm, the previous version was a little tight in this regard and often required some finishing to get it to fit. This updated version just slides straight on. Print Settings Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 100% Notes: Needs supports touching the build plate. Printed at 100% infill with single layer walls as the shell is only 1.2mm thick. Print it rotated as you would mount it on the quadcopter - i.e. battery straps, camera and xtv antenna recess's at the top.
