Re: [SOLVED] Broken one of the arms
The purple things I use as shock absorbers I salvaged a long time ago from a broken CD-ROM player. They are hollow and there is a hole in the middle where a screw went through. In the CD-ROM player it was also some kind of shock/vibration absorber. They work great but sometimes my Crazyflie will bou...

Re: Broken one of the arms
After a few days of flying (and crashing) my fix still holds. Tomorrow i can collect my package with carbon fiber rods at the post office but will not use them for the moment and keep my frame as it is. If I break one of the arms again I will decide what to do. I think that strengthening the arms it...

Re: HELP: USB jack torn off
One of the cables I used is of my phone charger and with my phone it requires less effort to remove it but maybe that's just because I dare to yank it more than with my crazyflie. Just to be safe I use my modified cable now to charge my crazyflie.

Re: Broken one of the arms
I managed to repair the arm. I did some careful flights with some small crashes and it holds. I still have to see if it also holds in a bigger crash. I used "Bison Kombi Snel" a 2 component epoxy glue and aluminium household foil. I cut a strip of foil and applied glue to the not shiny sid...

[SOLVED] Broken one of the arms
Hi, I got my Crazyflie yesterday evening and I really love it. However my flying skills are not that good and especially in the beginning resulting in a lot of crashes. Today I was getting the hang of it and became better and better in flying. Until I hit the ceiling and the Crazyflie fell down with...
