It still amazes me that I can have a problem, think of a solution, and in about 20 minutes hold it in my hand. 3D printing is vastly oversold at the moment, but the spark is absolutely there.
(And yes, I left out the step of designing the “solution” in a printable manner in an OpenSource tool! :P)
Looks like an OpenPilot FC board.
I agree. The computer age may one day be eclipsed by the “age of innovation”. Amazing!
@Johannes_Eickhold wins the prize! It is indeed a CC3D, and it’s destined for the tiny 250 quad I’m building. The reason for the tower was twofold - one I wanted to be able to get to the USB port, and 2, a Fr’Sky D4R-II will fit inside!
@John_Driggers I am flying the CC3D, too. Love it. I use regular stand-offs for the same purpose but I like 3D printed copter parts :-).
@John_Driggers s looks simple but we’ll thought out. I’m considering the cc3d instead of the flip 1.5 but can’t get past the cost. Let me know what you think of how it performs.
@John_Driggers try it in ninjaflex (or similar) to help absorb vibration?
@Nope_Nope would the threads come out you think. Might try that when my smartrap is up and running.
@Griffin_Paquette I’ve never flown a flip - I’ve done Naza, KK2.x, and APM. I picked up the CC3D on a lark for a good price, and so far, I’m very impressed! Setup and tuning was damned nice. I’ll post up a picture of the mini I built to play with it on.
@Nope_Nope I’ve never tried ninjaflex - I considered printing it in Taulman 645 Nylon, but had the red PLA already loaded, so… 
Nylon is as far as I know a between pla and ninja flex in terms of rigidity
@Griffin_Paquette sounds about right from what I’ve read. The taulman 645 is probably the strongest material I’ve ever printed with - I really want to try and print a single piece frame out of it!
