Last crawled date: 3 years ago

UPDATE (04/17/2016): Version 3 files added. Minor improvements and added features. V3 parts interchangeable with V2. (04/19/2016): Added USBmod files for more strength in rear and better alignment of USB plug. (Works and flies OK without this mod.)UPDATE (04/12/2016): Files have changed! Lighter frame and parts now actually fit! :)
UDATE (05/28/2016): I've completely redesigned this quad and moved my electronics to the new design. It does away with the damper balls, and will accommodate 66mm props now. See http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1594735 for details.
This is a 100mm spider quad designed for indoor/outdoor FPV. Corner motor-to-motor is 100mm. Rear motors are 60mm apart. Front motors are 74mm apart. Top and Bottom plate edges are 3mm thick. The frame with rubber damper balls weighs 10.6 grams (printed in ABS).
It is designed around the following components:
Micro Scisky 32bit brushed FC from Banggood
8.5x20mm motors from Banggood
600TVL 1/4 Micro CMOS camera from Banggood
FX758-2 5.8G 200mW VTx from Banggood
8.5X13mm rubber gimbal balls from Amazon (gouduoduo2018)
Features:
All electrical components protected inside frame
Top-mount battery held by rubber band (built in pegs)
10 degree up-angle tilt camera mount (camera secured with small zip tie)
FPV components isolated from motors and FC with anti-vibration balls
Access to USB on FC without disassembly
Convertible to non-FPV by removing top plate and moving damper balls underneath to form protective landing gear for bottom-mounted battery (see photos).
FPV build without battery: 43g
FPV AUW w/410mAh lipo: 54.4g
Non-FPV AUW w/410mAh lipo: 43.7g
Version 3 adds clips to hold FC more firmly and provides ~2mm more space between plates. Also added bottom plate variation with battery holder tabs for bottom-mounted battery. (Using any battery over 400mAh might not clear props with battery mounted on top.)
I will post more photos when the build is complete. Changes may be made to this design if required by the build. I will replace the thing files with the most current design.
Note: You will need the smallest zip-ties you can find to secure the camera (or use hot glue). The garden variety 4" ties from the building center are too wide - I found some at the local dollar store. (You could use fishing line too.)
