This week, we\u2019re diving into some of the modifications we had to make to the electrical system that make the upgrade with high strength 3D printed replacement parts possible. Follow along as our 3D printed carbon fibre drone becomes a reality!<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Welcome back everyone to this installment of our 3D printed carbon fibre drone build log! This week, we\u2019re going to focus on the non-3DP modifications that are required in order to make the 3DR Iris+ ready to accept 3D printed upgrades made on our Mark Two printer \u2014 specifically the four brushless motors that power the drone.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mark3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Pasted-image-at-2016_06_08-11_34-AM-1024x608.jpg\" alt=\"Pasted-image-at-2016_06_08-11_34-AM-1024x608\" width=\"1024\" height=\"608\"><\/p>\n<p><i>A frustrating realization \u2014 the brushless motor wires are threaded through the arm, and then soldered to the main board \u2014 time to break out the wire cutters!<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">While the Iris+ is an excellent platform for aftermarket upgrades, especially of the 3D printed variety, it wasn\u2019t designed to be as modular as we\u2019d now like it to be, and so I ran into some wiring issues. When I first began disassembling the drone, I was happy to discover that all the wires leading to the Pixhawk flight controller, which serves as the brains of the drone, were completely connectorized, and were easily removable. This early win was quickly undone however.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mark3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/image-30-2.png\" alt=\"image-30-2\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\"><\/p>\n<p><i>The <a href=\"https:\/\/pixhawk.org\/start\">Pixhawk flight controller<\/a> at the heart of the Iris+ platform<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Unfortunately, when I reached the electronic speed controller (ESC) and main power distribution board, which routes the correct amount of power to the brushless motors at the end of each arm of the drone, I found that the brushless motor leads were soldered directly to the board, after being routed through a small hole on the arms. In effect, this makes it impossible to remove the motor from the stock plastic arms without either destroying the arms, or cutting the motor leads.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mark3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_20160504_182618-766x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20160504_182618-766x1024\" width=\"766\" height=\"1024\"><\/p>\n<p><i>Good design for manufacture (DFM) conflicts with our goals \u2014 the motor leads are directly soldered to the board!<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Since I had <i>just<\/i> purchased the drone, it felt wrong to wreak wanton and irreversible destruction on the arms, so I chose to cut the motor leads instead.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mark3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_20160503_170315-766x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20160503_170315-766x1024\" width=\"766\" height=\"1024\"><\/p>\n<p><i>Cutting the motor leads between the motor and the LED strip on each arm \u2014 much easier to stomach!<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I didn\u2019t want to re-solder all the motor leads back together once we had installed the motors on the new carbon fibre 3D printed arms, since we might want to upgrade them with additional designs down the road.
