Quadcake V1 - 3d printable acro quad frame 210mm

thingiverse

I had tried a few quadcopter frames available and was really struggling to find something durable enough to survive a crash. So I set out to design one. The thought behind this is avoiding long straight arms, that way I can avoid putting as much leverage on the arm during impact. So that is why the main beams of the arm sweep into each other in a curve, avoiding direct angle pressure points and distributing the leverage force of impact. No idea if it will work, I have only flown once as I finished building it. But am looking forward to testing it, and that is why I am sharing it, I wouldn't mind feedback and improvement points going forward. Wondering why it's called Quadcake? I know it's not round but as I was designing this I couldn't help but laugh to myself and think: "I'm making and flying plastic pancake."
