Project Dualcopter – worklog #1
Flying season 2016 is slowly coming to an end on northern hemisphere. That means less time spent on an airfield and more time spent behind a desk. For this autumn I've found a very interesting, small project: Dualcopter. Dualcopter is an UAV with two coaxial contra-rotating propellers and 2 control surfaces driven by servos. Lift…

3D Print Timelapse Video
Few days ago I’ve decided to do something new: timelapse video of a 3D print. It’s kind of fascinating to watch extruder places layer after layer of molten PLA… too bad it’s taking so long to print something bigger… Printer: Malyan M150 Thing: 35 deg RunCam HD / Mobius stand for mini-quads Filament: PLA Speed:…

3D Printed RunCam HD / Mobius camera mount for Reptile X4R 220
After I finished my new Reptile X4R 220 racing mini-quad, I’ve realized, that there is no way I will be able to mount my RunCam HD on it. Comparing to ZMR250, 220 frame is just small. On a top plate there is enough room to fit battery, RC and FPV antennas and all what is…

How to print PLA on glass?
When I got my first 3D Printer (Malyan M150) and got into 3D printing I was surprised how consumer not-ready technology this is. Sticking, not sticking, overextrusion, underextrusion, Kepton, blue painters tape, clogged extruder… Over the time, at least, I was able to get the whole 3D Printing process somehow repeatable. I think one of…

Flight controller 30.5mm to 45mm mount adapter
Almost all “racing” MultiWii derivatives flight controllers like Naze32, SPRacingF3, CC3D or Sparky, besides the same CPU family (STM32) and ability to run Cleanflight, share the same form factor: 36x36mm size and 30.5mm hole spacing. That creates a small problem when mounting them to some bigger frames designed to fit APM, Pixhawk or MultiWii. They…

Beitian BN-880 GPS 3D Printed Case
Beitian BN-880 (I’ve bought mine from Banggood) is an excellent, cheap and accurate Ublox NEO-M8N GPS module. I’m using it for last few months and I’m very happy with it. But is has one serious flaw: there are no cases/enclosures for it. So, in most applications it is naked. I’ve decided to fix that and…
