Tiny Whoop Arrow Frame

thingiverse

This is a frame that can be used as a replacement for the stock Inductrix v1, aka Tiny Whoop. This is my first frame design- I came up with this after 5 different revisions. I tested it (as pictured) with an Inductrix v1 board. I wanted to design something that would serve as a good replacement, have decent flight time, hold up to crashes, and also be easy to print. If you get this working with another board, please let me know and I'll add it here. I plan on making revisions to this- if you have any helpful feedback let me know also. On my printer, this takes about 35 minutes to print. The frame itself is less than 6g, and with all the components (board, camera, camera mount, battery, screws, motors, etc.) it weighs 26g. No supports, rafts, etc. are needed and I used a 20% infill. I recommend using ABS, as PLA is too brittle and will break after a few crashes. Please note that there is an orientation for this frame. Refer to the picture. The board will also only fit one way, due to how the motor connectors are set up. Print Settings Printer: Reach 3D Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .30 Infill: 20% Notes: The motor holes may be either too tight, or too loose (or just right if you're lucky). Every printer is calibrated a bit differently. I tested this on my custom printer, which is calibrated pretty good but not perfect. If too tight: I recommend using a hobby knife and scrape out some of the material. You can also try scaling the model (101-102%). If too loose: probably not a concern unless the motors are really wobbling around. You can scale the model down if desired (98-99%). Once you get the motors in where you want them, I recommend using a dab of hot glue connecting the motor to the motor holder. This will help make sure they don't move around on you. This frame does NOT have a battery holder. I use a rubber band that straps over my camera. I may have a battery holder in a future version, but I find the rubber band works quite well. The frame also has a specific orientation- refer to picture. If the motor connectors are in the way, flip it around and try again.
