Nano X quadcopter frames by ChunderFPV

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is an updated version of my Nano X4 and X3 frames. Now there's a place for a battery strap (only thing missing from last version).
Motor mounting: 9x9 to 12x12.
Flight controller mounting: 20x20 and [25x25 to 26.5x26.5].
Arm options exist for 3in, 4in, and 5in arms. I suggest 3mm thickness for 3 or 4 inch, and 4mm or even 5mm thickness for the 5 inch arms.
The bottom plate takes press nuts. CNC Madness installs them for a buck so it's a good deal.
Also included is a front and back brace for the 5in version. There are notches for zip ties in case you want to try a zip tie canopy. Just make sure you use sturdy zip ties otherwise the jello will be bad. Even if you don't use a ziptie canopy you might still want to use a brace or two for extra support.
Print the plug.stl and fit it into the middle of the frame once assembled for extra support. Note: Both the plug and wing tips are designed with 3mm arms in mind so a slight resizing may be required.
I prefer Ninjatek Armadillo TPU for canopy. It's rigid enough to prevent most video jello while retaining a bit of flexibility for surviving crashes. When it comes to the wingtips you must use a softer TPU since they need to be flexible enough to push on (like Ninjatek Cheetah). As for the plug, anything rigid will do.
I haven't cut this frame yet, that's why I haven't posted any "real pics". I'm still rockin the old Nano X4 frame. But if you do cut one of these maybe send a pic or two so I can post what it looks like? :D
