3D Printed Quadcopter

thingiverse

So I was researching quadcopters and thought, "Yes, I want one." So I designed one from scratch and here's the result. I printed it using PLA initially but I've since decided to switch to ABS for my next build as PLA tends to be quite brittle and can break apart during a rough landing. Being relatively new to quadcopter building, I managed to break an arm on mine but luckily, repairing it with a soldering iron was a piece of cake. If you'd like to see the first test flight footage in action, check out this link. Note that the second one flew much smoother and at greater altitudes, despite the lack of someone to capture video.
