It uses 5″ propeller, it can be 5030, 5035, two or three blades, whatever fits your motor and voltage.
In my case the motor is cheap DYS-BE1806 suitable for such propellers and 2S-3S voltage. Mounting holes should take any similar motor, they are the same as in 250 quadcopter frame.
7mm hole in the handle is for chinese servo tester potentiometer knob. You should be able to fit there all: XT60 connector, ESC, and tester stacked on top of each other.
Handle has 25mm x 35mm, it should fit standard LiPo 3S small quadcopter battery, I use 1300 and 2200 mAh 3S turnigy, the difference is in length, so the smaller battery fits nicely but bigger sticks out a bit.
Handle has 14.5mm of length, it had to be trimmed down to fit on the 220×220 printer bed. And it barely fits, you have to center your bed precisely to be able to print this, or scale it down a bit but remember that the inner diameter has 130mm space to fit the propeller, and the gemfan 5030 propeller has 127mm so there’s not much space.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
