Smallest camera carrying quadcopter

Here is a few photos of my new quadcpoter. It was all 3d printed on a solidoodle second generation printer at .2mm layer hight. All of the electronics are salvaged from an old turnigy micro quad. flies well with the gopro on a three cell and really struggles with a two cell.

turnigy bullet proof plush 6 amp ESC 

turnigy 1811-2900 motors

the 3d printed arms are great at removing vibrations from the frame

flies with a KK2.0 board and spektrum reciever and transmitter

a 3d printed case for the gopro

Gopro sticky mount straight to the frame but has a lot of jello in the footage

Still need to make longer landing gear as it is hard to take off from the gopro and terrible for the gopro when I crash.

Flight time is about 8-10 minutes without a camera and 3-5 with one

Is there any way i could buy the 3D printed frame parts? I really want to make my first fpv quad after a year of flying to try my hand at getting some awesome shots.

Hey,
Nice work. Here's an article I made on a 3d printed quadcopter the same size as yours. It looks like our designs are very similar. http://flitetest.com/articles/3d-printed-quadcopter
Be very careful when using those Turnigy 1811 motors with a 3s, as they are only rated up to 2s. I have had them fail in the bast with a 3s lipo. With a 2s 1000mah lipo I am able to lift a gopro 3 and 5.8Ghz FPV gear no problem.
