Design Notes

My first stab at the design would be very simple and drawing on the STARMAC project. It is basically a frame made from composite tubes which you can purchase, and connected with printed parts. Similar to the way K'NEX work. A quick look on McMaster turned up this carbon fiber tube.

[www.mcmaster.com]

A few of those and some connection pieces and you have a quad-copter frame. Actually you could use the same connectors to build just about anything.

I'm interested in other peoples thoughts, so don't be shy.


Motivation

A while back I came across some people building quad-copters. I wanted to build one, but decided that other projects needed to come first. Specifically my cnc mill and RepRap. But since my Mendel is getting close to being complete. Is there any interest in a group of people designing up a printable quad-copter?

This is a generic Widgit Banger! I (Mr. Bunny) made it because it's cool but I use it to make Widgits. Share and Enjoy! (This page was made using the wiki page Example as a model.)

Entrepreneurship (Kits)

Mr. Bunny may have a cottage industry making and selling kits. He's also the developer. If you want to buy a kit, he's the best person to buy one from. And he's got a link to his paypal account on his homepage. (Listed in the user box above.)

Files and Parts

Generic/Daughter_part and CarrotStraightener. (As a gentle style recommendation, it's good to try to keep all your parts and files on the RepRap wiki rather than scattered around so that Mr. Bunny doesn't have to use a scripts and so on to get stuff back onto the wiki.)
