dEarring#111: Quadrocopter

thingiverse

This small video showcases our passion for quadrocopters since the XUFO RTF. We reactivated our TT Copters and tried using the yard-stick earring's axis while attempting smaller typewriter axes, but they proved too fragile. Future models will likely incorporate push-through rods with a tight fit and will be painted before assembly for a realistic look. Printing fully assembled items can showcase a 3D printer's capabilities, but it is time-consuming without dual head and soluble material. The propellers were made slightly thicker as a compromise between durability and aesthetics. Mirroring opposite props creates a more lifelike propeller setup.
