Stick Drone

thingiverse

This is my first 3D printed drone, and it successfully took its maiden flight! The design is impressively lightweight, so we'll boost durability by printing at a 70% fill rate. For the drone's components, you'll need: 4 Landing Foot (8g each), 4 Landing Brace (14g each), 4 Legs (6g each), 4 Arms (10g each), 4 Engine Mount (7g each), and 4 ESC Mounts (4g each). The Body weighs 43g per piece, and the Battery Box is 39g each. Total weight before electronics and screws is 321g. I'll be using 4/40 machine screws in sizes 1/2", 7/8", and 1". The drone has Turnigy XP 2836/8 motors (72g each), Turnigy Multistar ESCs (25g each), and a hefty 409g Turnigy 20-30C / 5000watt / 3 cell battery. For the flight controller, I'm opting for an APM 2.5, but if you prefer a KK 2.0 / 2.1, simply print a second Power Mount part for that controller. Stay tuned for more pictures as I finish printing and working on additional features like my FPV Transmitter!
