Please find attached the 3D model of the drone designed for phase 2 of the competition. The entire drone is created in X-Design, from the very beginning to the end.
Plan for making the Drone:
- The main supporting elements for the motor are two aluminium channels
- A T-Joint is created between both the aluminium channels and supports are added at the intersection corners
- A 3D Printed base plate supports the above mentioned arrangement
- It also contains a main groove for placing the battery
- The battery stays under the aluminium channels that support the motor so that the Center of Gravity stays low and the drone remains more stable
- For controller and receiver modules, we are planning to add a clicking mechanism (Thin Extruded supports on both sides of the module with protrusion at the end)
- The upper dome / covering is divided into 4 parts in order to satisfy the 220x220mm space constraint of the 3D Printer
- All the 4 domes have two supports in the interior for being able to fasten all 4 of them together
- This unified dome is then to be placed on the aluminium channels and fastened
[Note: We need to make minor changes to the model before 3D printing the parts]
