Hey Manu, awesome. You should post any pictures you have here since many will not sign up to that forum to view them since it's in German. By the way i translated the main post from you. Hope you don't mind. I will be following along. How long do you expect to take to complete it?

Hi Everybody.
I never had my times to buy a Multikopter ambitions. After I got up myself a Prusa i3-printer in the winter, I'm looking again for beautiful objects and projects that you can implement it. Even though I like to own the CAD seats - this time I have just finished a project of Thingiverse printed: the scaled-down version of Crossfire quadrocopter. My print area measures approximately 185 x 185mm, which has led me in the search for the slightly shorter version. Should be printed only in PLA - I get for lack of heating chamber warping of ABS for large parts (yet) in the handle.


I started with the pressure of the arms at 190 degrees, 40mm / s, 30% infill, 0.2 mm layer . Yellow will be times ahead.

Next, then the lower and upper part with 15% infill, each at 30g. The frame is thus at approximately 220g, the diagonal at just 40cm.

In addition, the UAV should be with my existing 3s2500mAh to fly mini protos batteries. My setup: KK 2.1.5 FCB, 4x 750KV motors from HK, 4x 30A BL controller, 10 x 5 propeller, RX802 as a receiver for my Devo 8s. To be continued ...

Looks very sharp! I was going to print one of these but, frankly, I break too many stock legs on my F450 that i was afraid these might not be as strong?

Maybe you´re right... The best is - I am able to print my spareparts... I do fly helicopters since years. Due to safety reasons, I would never use printed parts for them...
Project: I installed the Devo RX802 and tested the props: 10" x 0,5". Ca. 30mm distance between the leaf tips - is that enough? I´ll post a picture later.
