#3.5" Frame Design

How do the arms lock together? I have designed a few frames my self but their performance is to be determined. I do know though that arm locking mechanism are probably the hardest and followed by camera mounting which I am guessing you are using 3d printed inserts for the camera mount.
Also because the arm locking mechanism are finicky it would benefit you to try to get it cut out of acrylic locally

I am gonna use tpu inserts for camera mounting
For the arms I was too scared to use the arm mounting that would have each arm individual and instead I just have 2 arm pieces, 1 for each side

Yeah it took me a little while to get one that works but when you do it is nice
But other than that it looks like it will work
looks better than my first one

I would not recommend making a drone with replaceable arms as a first design. I would try a unibody like the crux 35
glad pumice
meh oh well
why do you not recommend it?
i kinda wanna make a replacement plate for my cinelog 35 with replacable arms cause i recently broke one of the arms

It is just it take more effort and designing to get a good ridged system
you could just lock the arms in with a lot of screws but it is heavier

ok

no one is stopping you though

could always go back and make it solid
looks nice so far but remember tolerances because the camera and stacks can come in a variety of sizes and shapes. That's where I messed up.
And that thin carbon will crack and sharp edges are weak points
glad pumice
imma plan on a 20mm mount stack and a ratel 2 (19mm). imma round out and strengthen it later

If those circles are holes for screws you will need to move them in ward

so that its equal edge to the side
Thats a good way to do that. I like to do that too. Helps me visualize
