The frame was designed to maximize structural rigidity while remaining easy to manufacture through FDM 3D printing. The entire frame is printed as a single-piece component, eliminating the need for mechanical joints or interlocking sections that would otherwise require manufacturing tolerances and could introduce unwanted play or additional failure points. To further optimize manufacturability, the frame is oriented to print flat on its top surface, allowing it to be produced without support material. This reduces material consumption, shortens print time, and minimizes post-processing while improving the quality of the finished part. The arm geometry was designed to balance flight performance with manufacturing constraints. The front arms extend farther outward than the rear arms, increasing the distance between the propellers and the FPV camera to minimize propeller intrusion into the camera's field of view during flight. In contrast, the rear arms are positioned slightly closer together so the complete frame fits within the build volume of a standard 256 mm × 256 mm desktop 3D printer, making the design accessible to a wide range of users without requiring larger-format equipment. The underside of the frame serves as a protected electronics bay, housing critical components such as the flight controller (FC) and electronic speed controller (ESC). Positioning these components within the frame shields them from direct impacts during crashes or hard landings while maintaining a compact and organized internal layout that simplifies wiring and maintenance.

The belly pan was designed as a modular camera system that integrates the FPV camera, video transmitter (VTX), and VTX antennas into a single removable assembly. Rather than mounting each component independently throughout the frame, all camera-related electronics are consolidated onto the belly pan, creating a compact and organized module that simplifies both assembly and maintenance. A primary design objective was to maximize serviceability. The entire camera module can be removed by extracting four mounting screws and disconnecting a single electrical connector, allowing the complete assembly to be detached in one piece. This exposes the internal electronics bay, providing unobstructed access to the flight controller, ESC, wiring, and other onboard components without requiring the camera system to be disassembled. The modular approach also simplifies cable management by keeping the camera and video transmission wiring contained within a single removable assembly. The belly pan also incorporates an adjustable camera mount, allowing the FPV camera angle to be easily tuned to match different flying styles. Pilots can increase the camera angle for faster, more aggressive flight or decrease it for slower, more precise maneuvering without modifying the frame itself. To further improve image quality, the camera mount is supported by two vibration-isolating pads that reduce the transmission of high-frequency vibrations from the airframe to the camera. By damping these small oscillations, the isolation system helps produce smoother FPV footage and minimizes vibration-induced artifacts during flight.

Thermal management was an important consideration throughout the design process to ensure reliable operation of the drone's electronic systems during demanding flight conditions. The frame utilizes a passive open-air cooling architecture, with strategically placed ventilation openings surrounding the flight controller (FC), electronic speed controller (ESC), and video transmitter (VTX). This promotes continuous airflow through the electronics bay, helping dissipate heat generated during sustained high-power operation, particularly during aggressive acrobatic (Acro) flight and prolonged high-speed maneuvers. Special attention was given to the video transmitter (VTX), as these components are particularly susceptible to overheating due to their high power density. In addition to the VTX's integrated cooling fan and heat sink, it is mounted in an open section of the frame where airflow is largely unrestricted. Ventilation openings positioned above, below, and on both sides of the transmitter allow air to circulate freely around the component, maximizing passive cooling while the aircraft is in flight. To further improve thermal performance, a forward-facing air scoop is integrated directly above the VTX cooling fan. During forward flight and rapid climbs, the scoop directs outside air toward the VTX, increasing the amount of cooling airflow reaching the heat sink and fan assembly. This combination of passive ventilation, directed airflow, and active cooling helps maintain lower operating temperatures, improving the reliability and longevity of the onboard electronics under demanding flight conditions.
