Project Ikarus - Quadcopter

Disclaimer: this is only a first look into this project, we´re midway through the developement. We decided to publish in such a early stage to collect as much feedback as we can. Speaking of me, the publisher, this is the first bigger project on thingiverse i manage, so every form of feedback or wishes do really help me in forming this whole thing.

I promise to update this on a regular basis.

I´m really sorry that this thing is changing so slowly.

we´re done with our prototype and did our first flights. The Paper is due next week, so till then i will upload our finished work, but we´re now on the last meters. So stand by

Changes:

21/05/2019 -added list of main electric and printed components

This project is part of a studyproject from our group from the TU Dresden. We´re 7 students, who are almost finished with their diplom in engineering. The goal of this project is to fully develope a quadcopter, in cooperatons with production hall of our universtiy. We decided to not rely on this way of production and startet a concept of a fully printed drone.

The key features we want to achiev are:

• fully printed
• easy to build
• easy to modify
• a wide range of modified parts to achieve the possibility of individualisation
• changable fligth behavior through using different parts

This concept is meant to achieve an easy and low cost entrance to the quadcopter world, as this is also a new domain to us.

Be sure that this thing will be update with the paper we ´re writing. So documentation wont be a thing to worry about in this project.

Bill of Materials =================

Printed Parts

Print following
1x body.stl

1x arm-back-left \will edit these into different versions, changing dimensions and

1x arm-front-left \position to the center of gravity

1x arm-front-right

1x arm-back-right

1x bracket

1x batterycover

1x top1

1x top2

2x fanprotection-front-right

2x fanprotection-front-left \are the same for the rear fanprotection

1x feet-back-left

1x feet-back-right

1x feet-front-left

1x feet-front-right

At first there will be no different versions of the parts, because i´m still printing the first prototype and havent had time do design other versions. So feel free and ask for specific changes

non printed Parts

we´re limmeted to the electrical parts our university set for this project, so there will be not much room for adjustments here.

Main electric components:

4x DJI Snail Tuning Set 4s

1x CC3D Revolution

1x OPLink Mini Groundstation

Software

Part of our task is to code the controlling software by our selfs in C#. Its currently under development and you will find our code here soon.
