Please consider supporting me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DanielNoree IMPORTANT NOTICE: There will be a while before i get another set of electronics so that i can do a "build with me" series for this one, sorry. So if you are not familiar with FPV, Quads and working with electronics maybe it´s best to wait. There´s also some programming needed of radio and flightcontroller. If you still can´t wait i highly suggest you check out the resources about FPV below before even thinking about starting this project.

It´s a modular, "self-supporting" design meaning that the design is as strongest when put together with all the other parts. This is a 220mm size using 5" props and the idea is to print all parts in a somewhat flexible material to allow for better impact resistance in a way that a material like Nylon for example will allow some "give" and thus better absorb a hard impact from a crash. The parts alone will feel "to flexible" but once they are in place and properly secured with screws it´s rigid enough. Even something like PCTPE may be suitable, haven´t tried it yet. While testing i have found that a Co-Polyester like colorFabb HT based on Color Amphora HT5300 or Nylon filaments are the best suited for this design. A CF blend like colorFabb XT-CF20 och NylonX by Matterhackers will reduce the weight by approximately 20%. As always questions are best asked in the community on either Google+ or Facebook Below is a list of the printed parts needed: 6x - OpenRC_Mini_Quad_22mm_Spacer.stl 1x - OpenRC_Mini_Quad_Electronics_Frame.stl 1x - OpenRC_Mini_Quad_FPV_Ant_Lower.stl 1x - OpenRC_Mini_Quad_FPV_Ant_Upper.stl 1x - OpenRC_Mini_Quad_GoPro_Holder.stl 2x - OpenRC_Mini_Quad_Main_Body_Bottom.stl 2x - OpenRC_Mini_Quad_Main_Body_Top.stl 1x - OpenRC_Mini_Quad_Top_Deck.stl You also need some screws and nuts for the assembly: Hardware needed: 20x – M3 nuts 16x – M3 screws for motors (supplied with motors) 12x – M3x12 screws 8x – M3x42 screws Here is a list of suggested electronics and other things you need to get the Mini Quad airborne: http://danielnoree.com/?page_id=800 How I Designed This
