[Translation] Pocket case on a 3D printer for a mini quadrocopter Cheerson CX-10

    In my recent post ( Choosing a $ 20 Nano Quadrocopter” ), I talked about the Cheerson CX-10 mini quadrocopter . Let me remind you that this is the smallest quadrocopter in the world. Its dimensions are comparable to a matchbox. Due to its size, characteristics and affordable price ( ~ $ 20 ), it quickly became very popular all over the world. But, despite the fact that the quadrocopter does not tolerate the blows of fate when flying young pilots, it is not very convenient to store it without packaging, so one foreign craftsman printed a very convenient pocket case with a blocking and quick unpacking function on a 3D printer for it.




    Here is what he writes about his work:
    In search of protection when carrying in my pocket my Cheerson CX-10 micro quadrocopter, I came up with such a case. It’s about the size of a hockey puck. You need to turn the upper part near the start button of the blades, put the quadrocopter, and with the help of the spring it will close again.

    Here's how it works:



    Three different printed three-dimensional forms, one spring (length about 32mm, diameter 5.5mm), 4 bolts (not necessarily just that amount, I just got so much nearby).



    A spring is placed in this channel.



    The part that needs to be rotated to open is superimposed on top.



    The lid holds the rotating part and is secured by four M3 bolts that are screwed directly into the plastic. I could use union nuts instead, but still this method has been quite successful. I suppose I could also use small fixing screws or something similar, but I like the speed at which the bolts are screwed in with a wrench or cordless drill.

    ps At the end of the article I’ll say that a pocket case is a very attractive thing, since it allows you to always take a copter with you, that is, at work and away — there is always something to surprise people. From experience I’ll say that all the people who watch your flights are delighted, especially if you start showing tricks and it’s nice.
