"that was my whole initial question, if I was able to download just the design and print it myself...:)
As mentioned, I'm not happy with the price and the toughness of the material from shapeways...
Anyhow, thanks for your infos.

"I don't see an option there to download the models without buying the physical thing from shapeways ...?"
"Can I get your design and print it myself or do I need to pay for it on Shapeways ?"
"@TheGiantUfo sorry no news... I haven't actually touched this project for the last year or so... lol...:)
@Ellison Chan Interesting. HOWEVER, funnily enough I received my first 3D model from Sheapeways less than 2 weeks ago and while the…"

"Hi Damien,
No sorry, I haven't tried to control servos with it.
I've tried to use if for my autonomous tank (http://trandi.wordpress.com/2011/05/14/tiger-1-bb-airsoft-rc-tank-%...), BUT the more I played with it the more I realised the "obvious" :…"

"Hi Moses,
You mentioned the electronics are hard to get over there, and it's true that quadcopters tend to use some expensive boards.I have a few boards lying around uselessly, that may be of interest to you (nothing really special, an Arduino…"

"@Ramon
- thanks, I do indeed have some issues with mounting the propellers as none of their adapters fits my 3mm motors' shafts...
@Darren
- could you point me to some article / post doing this comparison ? It sounds both frustrating for having…"

"@Luis
- I am using EMP propellers (do you know anything about their quality?), but it's good to know that not all of them are made equal and APC seem to be better quality
- now with the holes, I had indeed some trouble as the adapters don't fit…"

"Thanks Sebastian, that's great !
Would it be possible to have the same graph with better resolution (shorter period of time) and without oscillations ? It's quite hard to discriminate between "actual movement" and vibrations in the previous…"

"I have already tried some standard foam tape (about 2millimeters thick) but there were not noticeable effects...
I was wondering, has anybody else measured their vibrations ? Are they comparable to what I see ? (not in absolute value, but just…"

"Phil, thanks a lot for your comments and suggestions !
I'll definitely look into the "gyro tape", even though I've already tried simple 2millimeters thick foam tape, with no noticeable effect...
As for the Hyde Mount, wow... looks quite interesting,…"

Following my previous post, I've also tried a new frame design, with my original round tubes cut in half and attached together with 2 MikroKopter.de carbon fibre central plates.I wonder if these central plates have a vibration reduction role too,…
"You are right, I have not balanced them.
Everybody "out there" says it's an important part of the vibration reduction effort, but it seems to me that the vast majority of people manage to fly quads without bothering...
So while it can only help, I…"

Following my previous unsuccessful attempts at building a quadcopter (I have serious issues with the balancing and stability) I've decided that it's likely all this is due to VIBRATIONS and it was time to get into the nitty-gritty of some…
"I know, that's typically how "normal" quadcopters work. It's easier mechanically, but the pusher propellers are way too expensive, and hence I wanted to use only "normal" ones.
You obtain the same effect by mounting 2 of the motors at an angle, even…"

"Thank you Rana for your comment.
However to make most of it, could you please explain:
- what is wrong with the way the motors are mounted ? Is it the fact that 2 of them are at an angle (which is because all the 4 propellers are normally rotating…"
