3D printable Tri copter frame
Work in progress . Design of a tri copter frame that can be 3D printed on a 180 mm X 180 mm print bed.
I've had this idea for a while now and wanted to at least make a prototype frame to see how well it works. It will no doubt need some work on the joints and the rudder/ yaw pivot point.
Ive included a pdf/drawing showing the main layout dimensions

Update 15th Jan 2014
Printed some of the prototype parts and didn't like the results.
Main body took 14 hours to print so will split into 2 sections
Main arms are unnecessarily big so will scale down section width
Should be done in a few days ...stay posted
Update 10th Jan 2014
Connector V1+ stl is slightly larger than the original connector for a tighter fit
