Added new versions (splitted and lighter).
For those who would like to fly this great micro quad by Chris Wilson inside your house.
Without saftey cage you need to be a real good pilot or fly slow or have a big room ... however, those props leave ugly marks on the furniture and walls, so you should protect them ;-)
This is fitted for use with max. 65mm Props. The motor mount holes are slightly smaller then my 8.5mm Motor housing to ensure tight fitting. I reamed of some material with a lexan reamer to make it fit perfectly and I advise you to do this to. Otherwise play with the model scale in your slicer depending on your filament. I printed this with PETG and this thing is damn strong and won't brake easily.
It weights about 8g printed. You may loose some more weight by adding some holes into the cage with a drill, but I didn't bother 2-3g, since the quad still flys great with this extra weight and inside the house it's not a real issue.
Important note!
The whole distance is not equal for all motor mounts. Therefore be sure to align the cage correctly before installing it.
Hope you like it.
