PLA Micro Kwad
I love my blade inductrix, pushing the limits of my flying skills enviably means that I end up breaking a lot of frames... And awhile ago inductrix frames were reasonably cheap, but now they are nearly £8 + P&P. So, I got to thinking wouldn't be great if I could print a frame whenever I needed one, in whatever colour I felt like...

This design does, therefore, provides a temporary solution for those weekends when you break your frame, you have no spares, & the shops are closed.  Now you can print your own frame until you can order a new one.  And more importantly, it keeps you flying whilst waiting for your new frame to arrive... 

The design has taken a few weeks to perfect, and I still have a little work to do, to make it a little lighter... But the good news is I know have a fully flying Micro Kwad that I can print in any colour I choose from Rigid.ink great range, in either PLA, or PLA+ for about a £1, including; frame, & camera, battery, motor mounts.

Flight times - Well, I'm getting a good 3 min flight time, and plenty of power, with an all up weight of the parts (without the motors, camera or FC); PLA Micro Kwad @ 8g, compared to the: Ragg-E @ 7g, Lynx Heli @ 6g, Inductrix Frame @ 5g...

So, in summary, this design allows you to print your own frame in 1 hour & 15 mins for a £1! How cool is that? The range of colours from Rigid allows you to really personalise your model to suit your personality or mood;-)

I would like to say a big thank you to Cemal Kucuk AKA DroneJunkie for all his help and good advice whilst designing this frame and especially the remix of his motor cap design. Go & visit http://www.dronejunkie.co.uk for all the latest aftermarket parts for your Micro Kwad.

I hope you have as much fun with this design as I have had designing it!

And as always I would really appreciate your thoughts, comments and feedback...

Please Enjoy! And please post pictures of your builds too...
