Description

Warning:

This is a very old model I created in 2015 and imported from my Thingyverse profile (https://www.thingiverse.com/TheZerschmetterling). Maybe some links are broken or not up to date. If you have any questions do not hesistate to ask.

Summary

This is a update of the "FireFlo v2" and a remix of the "DragonFli" frame (yes... with "i"!) and an alternative frame for the Blade NanoQX (also FPV).

 

Some general details:

  • It consists of a topplate and a lowerdeck connected with shock absorbers to undock the flight control + cam and reduce motor vibrations.
  • It has higher stiffness then the v2
  • There are different options and predefined strapholders to attach the lipo (on the topdeck or under the lowerdeck)
  • Antenna protection predrills
  • More free space to add your own vTx and cam and enough space to place different flight controls (from NanoQx original board to SciSky).
  • And because it consists of two parts, you can now mix colors yeyyyy!! :D

Some more detailed details:

  • It fits the original NQX Cam or the additional Spektrum Micro Cam or selfmade cams.
  • Its available for 7mm and 8.5mm Motors.
  • You can bend the camera holder up to 20° if you heat it up a bit, but be careful.
  • Frame size is at ~110 mm diagonal (m2m) and about 9 x 9 cm in length and width.
  • Frame weighs ~7.3g (depending on the material used).
  • You will need 3x shock absorbers

Example Setups that will fit and are tested:

Shock Absorbers:

  • 50g camera gimbal damper rubber anti-vibration shock absorber

Motormounts:

Antenna Protection:

  • Just use two cable ties and put them in the provided holes in the lower deck (see screenshots)

Motors 7mm:

  • micro-motor-warehouse.com: CL-0720-12, CL-0720-14
  • Standard Hubsan x4 H107L

Motors 8.5mm:

  • micro-motor-warehouse.com: CL-0820-15, CL-0820-17 Dark Edition
  • Standard Hubsan x4 H107D, H107C

Flight Control:

(for a proper fit, you should remove the motor plugs and solder the motors directly to the board):

  • NanoQx Board (MOSFETs need to be replaced when using 8.5mm motors)
  • NanoQx FPV Board
  • MicroMWC (MOSFETs need to be replaced when using 8.5mm motors)
  • SciSky

Cam and vTx:

Rotors:

  • Standard Hubsan x4
  • Standard Revell Atomium

Energy:

  • I recommend these for a flight duration of about 5-7min depending on your style and motors: 1s 3,7V 500mAh
  • Velcro to strap it (10mm)

If you have questions, don't be shy. :)

I printed the drone frame with my DIY MK2 printer in PLA+, It looks great, but unfortunately, I don't have the electronics, so I couldn't test the drone. the frame weight is 10 gm, it was a great print and fast.

I loved being able to revive a long-dead drone. Everything fit together perfectly. The first one I printed was in PLA, but that didn't survive a hard landing. I printed this again in PETG and, man it it tough.
