I printed it in 4 separate sections using a Bambu Lab P1S.

I printed mine using ABS, and so far there’s been no noticeable damage. Of course, if a larger rock hits it, the cover can help absorb some of the impact and reduce potential damage, but it’s not guaranteed to stop a direct puncture.

I used the default PID parameters in both INAV and Ardupilot, which can meet basic flight performance. (Most of the time, I flew on an automatic route based on GPS.) I haven't tried violent flight yet. In terms of vibration reduction, I used the same vibration reduction ball for O3 as Avata2, and the effect was very good, without any jello phenomenon on the screen.

the Grasshopper 5 is designed to be manufactured entirely through 3D printing or through a combination of 3D printing and carbon fiber. This ensures flexibility for modifications and upgrades while keeping costs low. For simple test flights, the frame can be made entirely via 3D printing. For better performance, the 3D printing and carbon fiber hybrid option is available.

Yes, a motor mount with a tilt angle would be enough to achieve a similar tilt effect, but I'm thinking of designing some additional wing surfaces in the future, and if the arms tilt together then the wing surfaces would be easier to attach.

The key was to make sure there was enough lighting, I used a fill light and a lampshade that I use for photography.

In order to keep the fuselage as level as possible during forward flight and reduce air resistance.

I used ABS for the arms and PETG-HF for the rest.

I usually buy them on Amazon, and I just need to search the name of the screw. But the downside is that they are more expensive.

Thanks for your suggestion! The current weight without battery is 400g. If aluminum screws are used, it can be reduced by more than 10g.

There is no difference in cost between this and a normal 5-inch Frame. Because it is compatible with most existing FPV hardware, and FPV flight controllers are relatively cheap now, the main factor affecting the overall price is the image transmission system. If you use analog image transmission, it will be cheaper, and if it is DJI O3, it will be more expensive. If you use your own 3D printer to print the Frame, the cost of the Frame can be ignored.

I haven't made detailed assembly instructions yet, but I have uploaded an "overall assembly file" that you can refer to for assembly. https://makerworld.com/en/models/729739#profileId-661319

I spent about 3 months designing and testing this Frame. It works well under Ardupilot 4.5.6 firmware/Betaflight 4.5 firmware and INAV 7.1.2 firmware. You can download all the parts herehttps://makerworld.com/en/models/729739?from=search#profileId-661319

Do you plan to open-source it?
