3D Printed Compact & Foldable Quadcopter

 
 

Updated Quadcopter Description: 

This Quadcopter has the following active components apart from basic drone electric components: Pixhawk 2.4.8 Drone Flight Controller [that includes MPU6000 as main accel and gyro, ST Micro 16-bit gyroscope, ST Micro 14-bit accelerometer/compass (magnetometer), MEAS barometer], NEO-M8N GPS Module with Compass, the ultrasonic sensor for object avoidance system, Raspberry Pi 4 as a programming board, OV5647 5MP Raspberry Pi Camera module for object detection, Hawkeye FIREFLY Q6 4K FPV camera, Mini OSD, FPV system, radio telemetry, Optical Flow Sensor for indoor GPS functions. 

Completely 3D printed foldable quadcopter base design working model

Designing & 3D Printing:
Design the Quadcopter frame and foldable assembly in Autodesk Fusion 360, Slicing the CAD Design parts with Ultimaker Cura, and Printing the design with creality ender 3 Pro FDM 3D Printer. Design printed with ABS+ filament because of its high impact resistance and high heat tolerance properties and also use TPU for reduce motor vibration.

Quadcopter unfolding & assembly:
As a Quadcopter have a compact design, you can carry it after folding and at the time of use, you can unfold it.
Actually, the drone can unfold and assemble within 5 minutes. (in case you disassemble it, otherwise, it will unfold in a few seconds of time)

Flight controller and electronic parts testing:
After long efforts on electronic parts parameter calculation and programming, all electronic stuff working perfectly, and archive good stability will position hold and it is ready for aerial photography.
