Also works great for a QX95 replacement frame if you happen to break yours. Let me know if you would like anything modified I have a TBS Discovery but I'm really not that good of a pilot yet. I get nervous flying the $1000 Discovery in fear of crashing or loosing it. I decided to build a micro quad. I printed a few other frames from here on Thingiverse but in the end I didn't really like them. They were either too heavy or I just didn't like the looks. I found the QX kit online and I really liked the frame but I had already bought all the components for building my own so I modeled this frame based on the QX frame. My frame has a slightly lager wing span because I'm using the FX797T AIO camera which has a shorter antenna than the one on the QX. I needed the props to clear to clover leaf. Everything is "sandwiched" with (4) M3 x 25mm Nylon Screws and Nuts. The Flight Controller is an F3 EVO Brushed and is held down in place by the standoffs. There is tilted platform on the front of the frame (about 20 degrees) for the AIO camera to sit on. The camera in the picture is the FX797T with the plastic case removed. There are holes in the frame for a rubber band to pass through and around the camera. This mounting is way easier with the case removed from the AIO camera. The top deck is designed for a micro Futaba receiver to be zip tied and there is a small retaining hole for the antenna to pass through and remain somewhat supported. The 8.5mm motors fit nice and snug in the motor cups. BOM 1)FRAME- Print the frame preferably in ABS as the motor cups may get a little warm 2)F3 EVO FLIGHT CONTROLLERhttps://www.amazon.com/Brushed-Control-receiver-Hexacopter-function/dp/B01K1IGCHU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482708366&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=f3+evo+brushed&psc=1 3)8.5MM BRUSHED MOTORShttps://www.amazon.com/Spintech-Sidewinder-Performance-Motors-8-5x20mm/dp/B01JQQ3U5K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482708536&sr=8-1&keywords=spintech+motors 4)FX797T AIO Camera / Vtx Combohttps://www.amazon.com/Crazepony-FX797T-Inductrix-Raceband-Antenna/dp/B01FD9E4WW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482708686&sr=8-1&keywords=fx797t 5)MICRO FUTABA Receiverhttp://www.banggood.com/Mini-Futaba-SFHSS-Compatible-8CH-Receiver-PPM-Output-With-1mm-JST-Socket-For-DIY-Micro-Quadcopter-p-1083120.html?rmmds=search 6)FPV Goggles / Monitor- This is up to you. You don't even have to use FPV equipment actually. The couple times I flew this thing I actually didn't use my goggles and it flew great. 8)BATTERY- I am using Turnigy Nanotech 750mah 1s Batteries. I do not have the flight time. I will record time the next flight. You can probably use any 1s Lipo. 9)PROPS I am using Ladybird and Parrot Rolling Spider props with great success. This this is fairly light, and when I landed hard, the quad seemed to just bounce. These are just a suggestion. I did purchase these plus a couple other types. You'll have to experiment.Rolling Spider Propshttps://www.amazon.com/Anbee-Propellers-Minidrones-Airborne-Hydrofoil/dp/B019UW86TA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1482709846&sr=8-2&keywords=rolling+spider+propsLadybird Propshttps://www.amazon.com/Walkera-Ladybird-Spare-Ladybird-z-01-Propellers/dp/B0091N6T2K 10)Bolts & Nuts- I bought this kit because the price is reasonable and I can use them on future projectshttps://www.amazon.com/GOCHANGE-160Pcs-Metric-Stand-off-Screws/dp/B01C9Q9WEW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1482709962&sr=8-2&keywords=nylon+m3 11)STANDOFF 12MM-Buy this or print this 12)BATTERY STRAP-The length will depend on your battery of choice. You may be able to find or steal a Velcro strap from an extension cord or phone charger. Keep in mind that there are other options for some of these components. These are just what I used. I think multiple different types of AIO cameras can fit on the frame as most of them have the same footprint when you remove the case. The Spintech motors are what I used but there are many sources for 8.5mm motors. These have great reviews, plus you get 6 of them! I use a futaba radio control system for my TBS Disco, and the receiver I listed happens to be the only stand alone RX I could find and it actually works really well. There are also a few different Flight Controllers that have a built in receiver that would fit on the frame. Unfortunately I don't think Beef's Brushed board will fit though. For the nylon hardware, I bought a box of M3 bolts and nuts in various lengths. The standoffs are extra I had laying around from the UM0 Heated Bed Kit I used on my UM2 Clone. There are actually even some standoffs you can print. The 25mm ones I used are able to pass through the entire frame assembly and secured using a nylon M3 nut on the very bottom. The Velcro battery strap is also something I had laying around that I cut to length. I will upload video after my next flight. The weather here is not that great but I will fly ASAP Print Settings Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: .2 or smaller Infill: 100% Notes: Very easy and quick to print. Use support on the small battery strap holders.
