3D model description
3D Model: BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro Frame
This 3D model represents the frame for the BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro quadcopter. It’s a high-quality design for "Tiny Whoop" class microdrones, crafted to enhance stability and protect components during flight and crash landings.
Key Features:
- Material: Made from lightweight yet durable impact-resistant plastic. This ensures the frame's reliability and minimizes damage during collisions.
- Purpose: Compatible with BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro microdrones, ideal for racing and FPV flights both indoors and outdoors.
- Design: Optimized for high maneuverability, with protective guards surrounding the propellers to prevent damage when flying close to obstacles.
- Mounting Space: Designed with dedicated spots for mounting essential components such as the flight controller (FC), camera, battery, and motors, making assembly and part replacement easier.
Highlights:
- Lightweight: Strikes an optimal balance between lightness and strength, helping to extend flight duration.
- Protection: Propeller guards prevent prop damage and protect surroundings when flying indoors.
- Aesthetic Design: Sleek surface and well-thought-out shape provide the drone with a stylish appearance.
This 3D model allows you to replace the frame on your BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro or build a new drone from scratch using compatible parts.
3D printing settings
3D Printing Settings for BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro Frame
Printing Type: FDM (Filament) 3D Printing
Suggested Printer Settings:
- Material: PLA, PETG, or TPU (for added flexibility and durability)
- Layer Height: 0.1–0.2 mm (recommended for smooth surface finish)
- Infill: 20-40% (use cubic or gyroid infill for balanced strength and weight)
- Print Speed: 30–50 mm/s (slower speed for better detail on small parts)
- Wall Thickness: 1.2–1.6 mm (3-4 perimeters for added strength)
- : Enabled (only for overhangs if needed)
- Bed Temperature: 60°C for PLA, 70°C for PETG, or 40-60°C for TPU
- Nozzle Temperature: 200-210°C for PLA, 230-250°C for PETG, 220-240°C for TPU
- Cooling: Use cooling fans, especially for PLA, to improve surface quality
Resin Printing (Optional for finer detail): If using a resin printer, use a layer height of 0.05 mm for high detail, an exposure time of 6-8 seconds per layer (depending on resin type), and solid infill since resin prints are generally dense.
Technical Details: Object size is approximately 65 mm x 65 mm x 15 mm. Estimated print time is around 1-2 hours depending on printer and settings, and the final weight is approximately 10-15 grams.
Additional Tips: Use TPU filament for increased impact resistance if you expect heavy crashes. For additional durability, increase infill or use a denser material like PETG. Optional finishing with epoxy or UV resin coating can enhance strength and finish.
