First FPV Drone build, 3D printed PETG frame, 3.5"
First FPV Drone build, 3D printed PETG frame, 3.5"
I found the model of the frame online and really liked the look. I decided to make this my first quad build after only having flown the prebuilt BetaFPV Air 75.
After getting components and trying to mount them inside I encountered some issues. I tried editing the model of the frame, however, as there were only STL files available this was very tedious. Also the maker of the frame put a somewhat restrictive license on it. Now I want to design my own frame with the ability of a more clean layout for the components that I want. When that has happened I also want to make my design files available so that it can be adapted to others needs.
I did not get to fly it yet but am really looking forward to, probably this weekend. Also I learned a lot while building this, which will help me design a nicer frame. Am also happy to hear opinions on my build.
Here is a list of components:
- Frame: 3D Printable 3-inch Drone Frame
- Flight Controller - ESC stack: SpeedyBee F405 Mini BLS 35A 20x20 Stack
- Motors: T-Motor Pacer P1604 3800kv
- Props: HQProp T3.5X2.5X3
- VTX: HGLRC Zeus nano VTX
- Camera: CaddxFPV Ratel2
EDIT: Here is a follow up post, with a video of a flight.
And here are some more pictures.
