S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier - Quadrotor Model

thingiverse

There are a couple cool Helicarrier quadrotors out there people have made, but none as small or as accurate as this one I believe. Although I designed it with the Hubsan X4 in mind, this is much bigger, measuring in at about 300mm/11.8" long, and should weigh in at about 150 grams for just the frame. I think it will fly with the stock motors, but you may need to upgrade them with something like these or these. I'll be honest - I'm not good at electronics and blew $60 after killing two separate Hubsan X4 control boards trying to modify them for this - so I don't know if it'll actually work. I wish the best of luck on whoever tries. For the non-flying, more accurate version of the Helicarrier, check here. This version's hull is a bit "slimmed down," and the "turbines" are obviously more open to allow for real rotors. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 2 Resolution: 0.2mm-0.3mm Infill: 5% Notes: Pieces are already oriented for minimal weight, based on my testing. Printing some parts vertically instead of horizontally shaves off as much as half a gram or more depending on the part, but feel free to orient them in a way that works best for you. Make sure you print everything only one shell thick if you have the option.
