As my printer has remained idle for a while now whilst I am concentrating on my other projects (EV build & House build) I was asked by a friend at work who is building a Quadra Copter for an Arduino UNO mount plate I printed this one http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:33327 on his first request but as it turned out this one was going to be fiddly to mount due to the placing of the mount points, so he found another http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:45053 This one suited the Quadra Copter frame much better and only requires 4 holes to be drilled into his Ali copter center plate.
My friend (Kyle) wanted to pay me for the plastic used but once I had calculated the cost it came in at around 20 pence (GBP) so I told him not to bother with any cash unless he wanted a whole copter frame (hint hint) which I am sure he will once he has trashed the new one he has just bought (he is on his second frame already and I haven’t even seen it fly yet), still it is a pretty impressive beast (Photo’s coming soon) he is currently reworking it to be controlled from a PS3 Bluetooth controller (nice one Kyle)
Photos coming soon.
