Parametric Toothpick Drone

A parametric micro toothpick frame with optional prop guards. Compatible with canopies from the Parametric Whoop Canopy project. Battery is secured to frame with velcro strap. Made with OpenSCAD.

This frame improves on the durability and printability of the Parametric Whoop project. It has less structural features on the Z-axis, like motor struts or the battery cage, which were prone to breaking on impact. It also prints flat, with no supports, in under one hour.
