Introduction

The frame of my Crux35 V3 broke after a few flights and I could not manage to find a proper replacement V3 frame for sale. All the listed frames where the older more vulnerable versions.

I decided to print my own while researching a better alternative frame.

It is a copy of the original frame but thicker (8mm instead of 3mm) and heavier (30g instead of 15g). All the bolt holes are countersunk so that you can use the original bolts.

I'm still a novice when it comes to FPV but I don't notice many differences when flying with the 3D printed frame. I might feel the weight and lesser aerodynamics just a tiny bit but I'm not sure because I'm getting the same flight time as before.
