Exorcist Racing Quadcopter Frame
Exorcist Racing Quadcopter Frame
Published 2020-02-10T18:21:37+00:00
Overview
This is a redesign of the Diatone GT X549 Exorcist quadcopter racing frame. I tried to match the scale and size of the original design but added better support in the front and back to brace the arms, as well as making the main body a little thicker.
Frame weight in nylonX is 67g, the original frame in carbon fiber is 62g.

Canopy's
There are 4 different canopy's to choose from. A simple, Styled wide body, and a mix of the two. The last is a GoPro mountable canopy.
The included canopys are a remix of Maulous's canopy design "Flame".

NylonX is tricky, if the part feels weak or seperates easily, you should bake the filament in the oven at 180f for 6-8 hours and increase your nozzle temp in increments of 5c.
To print NylonX you need an all metal hot end, ability to to print at at least 260c, an enclosure, glass bed with glue, and a dry box for your filament while printing.
