Pilotgeek X60 Micro - 85mm FPV Quadcopter

thingiverse

Depreciated. Version 2.0 is out, fixing a few minor issues. Still including this version for those who want more flexibility with alternate motor sizes and lids.https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2740188 Flight Video: https://youtu.be/QUpM61OhsMk The X60 Micro is designed to be a clean all-in-one FPV micro quadcopter comparable to a TinyWhoop, with a professional look and little to no exposed circuits. It was designed around the SciSky flight controller, using 7mm motors and Hubsan style props, for a final dimension of 85mm diagonal (60mm between motors). The FPV equipment fits entirely within the top lid portion, and the flight controller and motors fit within the lower frame, allowing easier repairs in the event of damage. Small rubber bands are used to hold the battery to the bottom of the frame, with two tie-down points. A fitted carrying case with multiple tie-down points for batteries is also included. Variations of Components: -7mm and 8mm Frames -7mm and 8mm Frames with a tighter fit for motors. -FlatTop is a simple flat lid for non-fpv builds or flat camera angles. -AIO lid is designed for all-in-one camera units, and includes a 10deg tilt. -FPV is for separate camera/vtx units. Designed to fit a Boscam vtx and 600tvl micro camera. The older R1 10 and 20 degree mounts provide a flat surface for the camera, and space to mount the VTX to the top of the plate. The R3 is the newest revision, which better holds the camera and allows space to mount the VTX internally to the case. Also includes a variation of R3 with space to include a 5v step-up regulator. Included is a 123dx source file, which includes most variations of components. Edits: -Added 8.5mm version -Made case walls thicker to ensure proper infill with .4mm nozzle -Made motor pods .3mm tighter (files labeled tight). You will need a flat head screwdriver to pry the pods open to insert motors. Added to prevent motors from slipping when heated up on PLA frame. -Revised the FPV lid (R3) to better hold a micro camera, and to add room to mount a VTX internally to the case, with variation to hold a 5v step-up. Print Settings Printer: JGAurora A3 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 100% Notes: Frame can be printed without supports, but lid requires supports for the hollow inside piece. The flat-top version could of course be printed upside-down without support. I used 2 shells on a 0.4mm nozzle with 100% infill for strength, but you could experiment with different combinations depending on your printer to try to achieve a lighter frame. I printed the carrying case with 2 shells and 30% infill. Both top and bottom should fit on a 200x200mm print bed and should print fine without supports. Post-Printing Assembly Besides electronics, motors, and props, the only additional supplies you will need are two screws and some servo tape for assembly. The diameter of the screw should be around 2mm or slightly larger, and around 6mm long. Servo-tape the SciSky inside the frame's compartment, routing motor wires route underneath the frame and through holes in the bottom to the flight controller compartment. Servo tape the VTX to the inside of the top-plate (R3 version only), add 5v step-up inside the top hump (on R3_pololu), and route wires through to the camera mount. A hole is provided for a 3mm antenna tube. I highly recommend using Syma X5C-1 7mm motors. They can be had very cheap on Amazon and are very fast if you get one spec'ed the same rpm as the OEM motors. The standard motor mounts should be a relatively tight fit. PLA frames may expand with motor heat, making the fit too loose. I recommend wrapping a layer of packing tape around the motor to take up the space, and to thermally insulate the plastic mount from the motor. Alternatively, I added a version called 7mm_tight which is about .3mm undersized and may require you pry the mount open to insert the motor.
