100% 3D printed drone

Have you ever wondered if it’s possible? Well it is, and I’ve tested it.

This project was an attempt to prove you can build a relatively robust 3D printed drone with just a regular printer and some run of the mill parts. Given the fact that I was printing it, I wanted to make it as flashy as possible and went with a color changing, transparent PETG. Check out the video below as I talk through the details of this design. If you would like to try it, check out the link to the STL files under the video.

My parts list (yours doesn’t have to match 100%!)
