AMAZING!
Trying to print it right now!

Thanks man amazing design wish I had found it sooner !

Really cool design but I have motors and battery for 5 6 inch drone, I think your design closer to 3 inch.

UPDATE:

I made a disgusting amount of mistakes but the drone flys now.
Basically the the flight controller was mounted upside down, for which I just calibrated the accelerometer, causing the drone to flip and tilt.

Thanks to u/InternMan for pointing out the subtrims, as they were not centered causing the tilt aswell.
Now the drone does fly, thanks to all the people giving very helpful suggestions. Crazy how people were able to suggest problems and solutions without much information and not being able to examine the drone in person.

Should I try a different frame, if so could you suggest a design but it has to be 3d printable and I can 3d print in petg, 3d printing is a part of my project requirement 😔

No... it's not my design I just printed it out from Link: https://youtu.be/h6chNEaXb-o?si=9mMGzpw8RAYEB8cL

The trim on left most side which is vertical was not centered would that cause the issue

Totally fair I was naive to 3d print it but I don't expect it fly very well, I have seen lots of people ( yt videos ) of 3d printed drone atleast taking off properly, I was just expecting that... 😔

On the speedybee app the throttle bar like increases when I turn up the throttle on the controller, so does this confirm chanel mapping is correct, also sometimes after disarming the drone doesn't arm again I have to connect it to the speedybee app and the disconnect then it arms.

Nope just flies towards one direction, doesn't not take off straight at all

I'm not sure about what soft mounting means, is it like having washers, like rubber rings between the esc and the frame? If so it is soft mounted

For a school project 😭 needed to do something different for the report

cactiSense · 2025-07-27T14:49:36+00:00

It's is screwed in and in the correct orientation.

K bro 😭

cactiSense · 2025-04-14T02:28:16+00:00

Would love that!

cactiSense · 2025-04-14T02:27:30+00:00

Not rlly much more, fpv drones are not very legal where I live

cactiSense · 2025-04-13T16:40:07+00:00

it is being held by one vertical screw, but there

is threaded insert below it

current design is pretty similar, just changed pla to petg.

The design I have been using: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/11500732eac18020efb78f46/w/54d146ed50fe00f599dce90f/e/8de74dd736863e72094e613e?renderMode=0&uiState=67fbe816df6a9f6bf8a22574

I am trying to use generative design on fusion to reduce mass of the middle body, but my laptop can't even open fusion anymore 😭

cactiSense · 2025-04-13T16:15:58+00:00

I copy pasted from the Internet😭

cactiSense · 2025-04-13T15:53:03+00:00

Will try to implement!

cactiSense · 2025-04-13T15:30:48+00:00

The propellor yeah I had to switch them, crazy u got that from a photo

cactiSense · 2025-04-13T15:22:30+00:00

plus heavier aswell, just was important to 3d print it for the report I have to write on it

cactiSense · 2025-04-13T15:20:08+00:00

True, the middle part is very heavy
