Tricopter FPV drone - Ufezela

thingiverse

Ufezela (Scorpion in Zulu) is a 3D printed tricopter frame. Suitable for 5inch propellers in the front and 6-inch in the back. 3S/4S LiPo has a place for "standard" FPV camera and 36x36mm flight controller and PDB (30.5mm hole spacing). I suggest printing arms with ABS or PET-G with thick walls (1.6 or 2.0mm) and at least 40% infill. It is heavier, but should not break that easily [Youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbJ9wtbZQRU) Parts for the frame: 8x M3x45mm bolts or 4x M3x45mm bolts 4x 25mm M3 aluminium standoffs 8x M3x6 bolts 1x M3x12 bolts 12x M3 nuts 2x 623 (10x3x4mm) bearings 3mm brass or steel rod (pipe is even better) A lot of M3 washers. I suggest a washer for each nut and bolt Depending on the thickness of your flight controller stack, you will need 4 additional M3 nuts and bolts. You can either just attach your stack with M3x20 or something like that, but for better frame stiffness I suggest printing some standoffs and attaching everything with 4 additional M3x45 nuts through the top plate.
