Quadcopter & FPV Components by cbc

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

As I was designing my new quad I developed these parts for my assembly. I also used them for test fitting in various prototypes as the design developed. I should get the new quad frame posted soon..... In the meantime I hope these might help someone with their design.
P.S. These also work great to print the younger kids or grandkids a quad of their very own. I think I will call it an IPV (Imagination Powered Vehicle). Please begin making zooming sounds now!!!
P.P.S. I hope to be adding additional components as I need them. If you have a component that would help you please post a comment and I will see what I can do.
Descriptions & links
Most of the links are to http://www.getfpv.com/ I tried to find the best prices I could for my parts and their prices seem to match Banggood or Hobbyking. Free shipping over $60. If you are in the US it sure beats waiting on the slow boat from China! The few exceptions I found were on FPV cameras, FPV transmitters and ESC's. I am not an employee, just a fan. The store is about an hour from my house so if I have to have something I can pick it up the same day!
DYS 1306 3100KV motor:http://www.getfpv.com/motors/dys-1306-3100kv-brushless-motor-cw-ccw-pair.html
If you thread the prop shafts (M5) be careful. Depending on the % fill used it is easy to shear off the prop shaft when threading. Also, I drilled and tapped the motor mounting holes for 4-40 screws because I didn't have a M2 tap or screws.
Edit 8-18016: Added chamfer to end of prop shaft.
3" 3 blade props:http://www.getfpv.com/propellers/hqprop-3x3x3o-ccw-propeller-3-blade-2-pack-green-nylon-glass-fiber.html
These worked much better for my buildhttp://www.getfpv.com/propellers/hq-dp-3x4-5-propellers-3-blade-4-pack-yellow.html
Edit 8-19-16: Added props with thicker blades for better printing.

(I got the the one from HK before GetFPV started carrying them)
Note: I have not printed this file. I had the camera in hand (from my micro 105). I may have to do a smooth backed one for better printing but printing with support may work.
Video Transmitter -VTX:http://www.banggood.com/Eachine-TX250-Mini-250mw-5_8G-40CH-Raceband-AV-Transmitter-Module-p-1045796.html
Print this heat sink side down with support.

I hope you find this useful and like I said, if there is a part you need a model of let me know and I will try to help.

Added some parts for Brushed Micro Quads (like my first Quad) http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1647940
8.5mm x 20mm brushed motor:
I doubt the shaft will print correctly but I did not have time to come up with an alternate.http://www.banggood.com/2-X-8x20mm-Motor-For-Hubsan-X4-H107C-H107D-RC-Quadcopter-p-87683.html?rmmds=myorder
Micro Scisky 32bit Brushed Flight Control Board Built-in DSMX/DSMX :
Version 1 is for the older board that I have on my quad. Version 2 is for the newer board they seem to be selling now at the link below. There are also 2 versions of each version. The one piece does not have any components on the bottom and the board is thicker than actual size. With the 2 piece you print the top and bottom and glue them together. This will give you a more accurate part if you need it. If you are trying to make any prarts snap in like I did I recommend that you have the actual parts on hand.
