I swear FPV is a gateway drug! I started with the DJI FPV, and within 2 days I wanted MORE, so I got a BNF Nazgul ... And a Diatone Roma 5 ... And a TinyGo ... And a TinyHawk ... And then I got a 3D printer ... Now I am addicted to making my quads 'color themed'! I need an intervention LMAO!

Oh Dear, C'Mon man, pull yourself together, its got to stop, think of what you are doing..............................






Those motors simply DON'T MATCH!!!!!!  

i stuck into building quads and enjoy it xD

these are the motors for your filamwnt colours :-)

Pretty much all of my hobbies have something to do with electronics, but I did start learning surface mount repair specifically for quads.

Seems like a lot more effort was put into the admittedly clever anodised two colour finish than into the winding quality???

xD the windings, are they truly that colourful or just on that picture?
they didnt paint the magnets, it might be possible that it could work as ecpected xD

I ticked the wrong box when I bought my 1202s and they came with the orange colour.

I blame iFly and Lemony for my current state of addiction. I have so many potential builds on the go it's crazy. Anytime I order some parts I buy some spares as well, maybe a cam or a vtx, or a spare fc, some spare esc and so many frames. I looked in my parts boxes (there was one originally and now three). I have like eight different frames, four sets of different motors, not enough flight controllers, several ovx303's, several caddx ant nano's, three broken whoops in various states of disrepair and a cinewhoop that needs to be moved into a more sensible frame. Not to mention all the screws, caps and other things. Oh and the 18x 2S Lipos which are still sat in there boxes (delivered 6-7 weeks back). Two weeks ago it was PDB's.

My suggestion is to find help sooner rather than later, before you start flying at 10pm and buy a hot air repair machine and attempt to to build a flux capacitor in the hope of moving through solid matter (or your neighbours fence).

My father-in-law introduced me to golf several years ago…when I got home I asked friends that golfed… “what is the best advice you can give me regarding this new hobby I just learned…?”
He responded …”best advice I can give you about GOLF? Never pick it up…”

With the wild colors distracting me I almost didn't recognize the frame in the OP. The camera mount didn't look right for an AOS frame, is it TPU only? I had TPU covers on my AOS5v1 camera plates but it seemed a bit too bulky and caused the camera plates to splay apart more than they should because of where the standoffs are which managed to strip out my DJI fpv camera.

As for the topic, I got the 3d printer sort of as a result of the FPV hobby. Even though at the time of purchase I was already hearing a repeating mantra NOT to fill the frame up with TPU everywhere for performance and flight time sake. I feel like I get a lot more time with the same intensity on my new AOS5v2 build over the AOS5v1 that has more TPU bits including somewhat bulky TPU arm protector/feet.

I also finally wanted to try out the Runcam Orange that I picked up a while back but never bothered getting a mount for it. I ran it for a few sessions and then the o3 air unit came out and had compatibility with the v2 goggles, I had to try it.

Initially I made the camera mount in TPU, but there was too much jello in the video feed - The PLA one I'm now using is much better, and only 3 grams heavier

It’s a beautiful build. I may have already asked this in your build thread, but I don’t remember- was the carbon fiber already that awesome blue tint, or did you dye/paint it? If so, what did you use?

I ordered the frame colored from CNC Madness

I have a REALLY old Diatone Hurricane 5" (with what was then "super large" motors, 1806's!!) which is silver carbon. Non-black has been much rarer over the years than might be expected, and its a long time since then and I don't remember another sighting till now.

Maybe someone should start a coloured carbon frame thread?

Shit. Where was this post when i still needed it. Am about 8 months in the hobby and past the point of no return. Have already build over 10 quads with a fleet of 7 in active duty. Tried to call for help but nobody listened. Also my new kittens did not stop me as they should . hey should have been afraid of me flying quads indoors but instead they are either ignoring them totaly (when bussy playing with eachother) or chasing them.
My wife knows me too well to even try.
I am lost.
Please ..... Help ..... Me......
