Silverback Fully 3D Printable FPV Drone Frame

thingiverse

This is my second fully 3D printed drone design. I've remedied many problems from my previous design and now have what I consider to be a very reliable but slightly overweight 5" frame. Starting from the bottom, the battery plate should attach to the belly which will keep your lipos secure and expedite battery switching. The stiff bottom frame should be printed from PLA at 100% infill. The arms currently fit 2280kv style motors with m2 screw holes. Zip ties can be used to secure any loose wires on the arms. The plastic standoffs screw onto m4 screws, protecting your electronics stack. The "antenna plate" is a plate that fits into my 30mm stack and holds my Spektrum serial reciever and generic brand VTX. The top plate should be printed at 100% infill for maximum durability. The "FPV mount" fits a specific camera I am using. BEFORE YOU FLY make sure your motors aren't overheating! Overheating motors might soften the PLA and cause a crash. To fix overheating you can reduce the pitch of your propellers or reduce the derivitive in your flight controller software.
