Pickle EVO2 MK3 : HD 3 inch quadcopter frame

Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago

Pickle EVO2 MK3 (Nano, Micro, Dual)
You can get this frame as a kit from Armattan Productions :
Nano HD version
Tarsier/Hybrid version (soon)
for other options like cutting at a CNC service please check below
Pickle Evo2 MK3 is a micro quadcopter frame fitting 3 inch propeller and focused on HD cameras. The current possible setups are : simple 3 inch deadcat toothpick style build (just the base plate), nano HD quad, Tarsier/Hybrid quad.
This is another approach on the Evo2 frame being modular this time.
You have a base frame that's a 3 inch deadcat toothpick style frame and you have add-on plates that can convert this base into a more cinematic quad ... for instance.
The deadcat frame have been better over time so building this quad on that particular design could be a win ! :)

NOTE : this is a prototype, for those willing to test mainly.

How to get this frame ?
You have to make it cut at a CNC Cutting service, here's some recommended ones.
https://www.cncmadness.com (US/CA)
https://www.ahltec.de (EU)
Get the dxf files and send them to the services mentioned above. I recommend to go with a 3mm bottom plate and 1.5mm or 2mm bottom & top plate.
You'll need some extra mounting parts for the frame :
20mm M2 aluminium standoffs (4 pieces) + M2 screws.
You also need to get the camera holder printed (TPU should be the best option).

Changelog

2019-11-05
added the damper between frame body and camera plate.


2019-10-11
added the plates for a Caddx Tarsier / Runcam Hybrid camera.


2019-10-10
made sure the base frame files are correct. The new one have the rear whoop hole off centered to make clearance for a board with usb facing down. This make that the whoop board is mounted only on 3 screws. The rear one is used only for assembly of the plates.
