This drone was crafted for a high school project that would showcase impressive aerodynamics. The total cost of the drone did not exceed $150, including top-of-the-line components, making it a stellar investment. And it soars through the skies like a pro. Total weight, including a GoPro: 1150 grams Flight time: approximately 15 minutes Max extra payload: approximately 800 grams All components can be assembled using M3 bolts and nuts of the correct sizes to create an incredible flying machine. Print Settings Printer: Self-built printer was used for this project. Rafts: No additional supports were necessary. Supports: None were needed, allowing for a streamlined design. Infill: The drone has a 40% infill setting, giving it incredible stability in flight.
