SnoothDogg Raspberry PI Drone with LTE and NB-IOT

thingiverse

Current active project - Raspberry PI 3 powered Drone utilizing an open-source flight controller (autopilot). All flight paths and configurations of the flight controller are programmed using Python. The drone's frame is a sturdy single solid frame with a thickness of approximately 14mm for added strength, measuring 200mm x 200mm in size. Initially, I printed the frame on an Ender 3 Pro, and it turned out perfectly with no errors, despite its simple design; however, it was just large enough to fit the print plate. Next, I printed the same frame using a Prusa MK3S, and again, it came out flawlessly. This project is still in progress as I haven't added mounting holes yet. For now, I'm manually drilling holes to achieve optimal weight distribution and positioning; eventually, I'll create V2 with all necessary mounting holes. The brushless motors used are 2204 Lumenia - extremely strong and powerful - making it a 5-inch drone equipped with 4050 quad props. When combined with the Raspberry PI, flight controller, PDB, UPS, LTE module, and NB-IOT module, the drone becomes quite heavy; however, the brushless motors remain unmatched, despite not having completed or flown the drone yet. I still need to design a top protective cover as I haven't finished working on the RPI stack, so the final result remains uncertain. If someone is interested in helping me complete this drone concept, please let me know!
