The answer to all the quadrocopter designs: The HexaMicroFly !!!

I like Punkkills Micro 105 FPV Quadrocopter design (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1221911) and I wanted to build one. But in Germany you need special frequences for RC flighing which are not covered by the Micro Scisky or the Eachine Flight Controllers with reveiver build-in. So I ordered a SP3Racing Evo with a separate RM receiver from banggood. They send me a SPRacingEvo V2.0 which has outputs for six motors. So I decided to build up a hexacopter. Here is the printable design for it:
What you need:
frame (3D printed): HexaFrame.stl
top (3D printed): TopV2_05.stl or TopV1_04.stl
optional: Flightcontroller Case: FCCase.stl
6x brushed motors 8.5 mm (3x clockwise, 3x counterclockwise)
FrSky Ultra Light XM Receiver Up To 16CH
or
Frsky XM+ Micro D16 SBUS Full Range Receiver Up to 16CH
Micro 32bits F3 Brushed Flight Control Board Based On SP RACING F3 EVO Brush
5V Buzzer Alarm Beeper
LED Strip Light Board
Nylon Screws
Some connectors for easier build-up:
Mini Micro JST 1.5mm ZH 2-Pin Connector Plug With Wires
Walkera QR Ladybird Blades Propellers
For the FPV:
AIO 5.8G VTX + FPV Camera PAL/NTSC
I used Fatshark dominator V3 glasses with Nexwave 5G8 Race Band receiver module.
Instruction:
All parts printed in PETG from DasFilament in safety yellow color.
Infill: 25 %, no support
2 perimeters in vertical shell
2 perimeters in top and buttom shell
There are two versions of the top. One without cover for the camera (Top04), one with camera protection (TopV2_05).
The top parts get screwed together with the main frame with 20 mm nylon bolts and nuts as you can see on the pictures.
The flightcontroller can by glued with low temperature hotmelt glue into the optional flightcontroller case (Part PCCase) to obtain a better protection and stability.
Cut some 40-50 mm long pieces of the wired connector plugs and solder them to the motor cables. Don´t forget to isolate with heat-shrink tubing. Solder the JST 1.5mm ZH 2-Pin connectors to the motor outputs of the flight controller board (marked with M1 to M6). So the motors are easier to change in case of damage.
As firmware I used cleanflight.
One disadvantage of the design of the frame is, that the two rotors in front are always part of the video capture. So the frame has to be modified.
