## Why
I loved the idea of the [Ultimate Micro Quad](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:431290) (the original dreamcatcher as far as I can tell), and the [customizable variant](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:931685) by driggers.
I wanted a customizable version (eg for different motor and board dimensions), but as much as I love the *idea* of OpenSCAD, I don't love the *experience* of using OpenSCAD to modify frame variables, especially in situations where heavy modification is necessary.
## How
I decided to [re-model the dreamcatcher idea](https://cad.onshape.com/documents/ae111b8c5ea642e1bdd53dc0/w/9df9f947189c4b3fbf92f2b2/e/c80badaf91e6404d8e73e5c0) in [Onshape](http://onshape.com), where it can be graphically parametric. I've made the model public if you want to make your own copy.
The version I've uploaded here fits a [Syma X1](http://www.amazon.com/Syma-Channel-2-4G-Quad-Copter/dp/B0096SJU3U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439423381&sr=8-1&keywords=syma+x1). I have a whole f
