Titan Quark

$14.99

The Titan Quark is a modular 5-inch quad featuring a single-print frame. It started as an experimental endeavor, designed to defeat the structural shortcomings of additive manufacturing. The Quark can be printed as light as 72g while maintaining stable flight characteristics. The chassis itself fits on an Ender 3 bed (220x220mm) and features a symmetric shape with mountable accessories such as the FPV camera, GPS and VTX antenna. The Quark was tested and tuned in the hands of a professional drone racing pilot. A 30min+ flight time is easily achieved with a 4S1P 21700 battery, while a 1500-2000mah 4S Lipo makes it ready to party. Please find below additional images, videos, instructions and parameters to aid in the build process.

The chassis of the Quark is a single print and features ample room for a 30x30 FC / ESC / VTX stack

Routing wires is also breeze, especially thanks to the hard mounted XT60

Multiple nose and tail options are included, as well as blanks

Printing:

  • Print using anything but PLA. Temp resistance and strength are of utmost importance here, so we recommend PETG, ASA, PC, CFPC or other high-temp resistance materials

  • Minimum print bed size is 220x220mm (z axis should not matter)

  • Print with 2 walls and 10% cubic subdivision infill. Feel free to experiment with different infills and percentages

Assembly:

  • Install M3 heated inserts (height < 6mm) on any of the larger (4.5mm) holes, including inside the cavity where the stack should be mounted

  • Route the motor wires through the slot on the top of the chassis

  • Use the slits on top of the chassis or on the lid to mount your battery using straps (either top-mount or bottom-mount)

  • Route your camera wires through the slit under where the nose screws on

  • Route your GPS and XT60 wires through the slit under where the tail screws on

  • Use a mmcx to SMA extension to mount your VTX antenna on the tail if desired

  • Feel free to use a dremel (or modify in CAD) to cut a hole in the side of the chassis for USB access to the FC

  • Be sure to use thread locker when installing the motors on to the arms

Hardware:

  • We recommend using a 30x30 stack with the ESC / FC / VTX built in (such as the Holybro Kakute F7 or SpeedyBee F7 V3)

  • Motors: 2207 1850kv or similar (many other options, please experiment)

  • Propellers: 5x4.5x3 tri-blade props (many other options, please experiment)

  • Both analog and digital FPV systems can be mounted to the Quark.

    • Analog camera: Caddx Ratel or similiar

    • Analog VTX: 30x30 RushTank or similar

    • Digital camera and VTX: DJI or Walksnail

  • We recommend using the Radiomaster RP3 ELRS 2.4ghz receiver (as shown in the above images) however of course this is open to individual choice

  • Battery options can range from Lipo to Li-Ion

    • For maximum fun, we recommend a 1500-2000mah 4S Lipo

    • For 30min+ flight times, we recommend a 4S1P 21700 Molicel P45B (4500mah)

    • For maximum endurance, we recommend a 4S2P 21700 Samsung 50E (10,000mah)

Software:

  • We strongly recommend using ArduCopter if you desire excellent autonomy and GPS reliant navigation

  • Betaflight is also a good option for freestyling and the gold standard when it comes to acro performance

  • Download the Ardupilot params here (keep in mind not all parameters will apply to your build such as flight modes and serial outputs)

  • Download example flight log here (flown in a FRIA)

  • We hope to improve the parameters and provide Betaflight ones in the future as well!
