Axiom 250 Quadcopter

thingiverse

Axiom is a quadcopter that excels in three critical areas: durability, safety, and modularity. Its interlocking shroud design allows for safer flight, easier printing, and the 250 mm quad size fits on most printers. If you're an educator focused on STEM subjects, Axiom is an excellent project for your classroom. It teaches fundamental concepts in physics, engineering, and computer programming while engaging students with drones and 3D printing. Instructions can be found here.
