Hey everyone,
I’ve been playing around with 3D printing and am thinking about making my own drone. Anyone here tried building a 3D printed drone? How’s it hold up in the air? Any tips or must-know info before I get started?
Looking forward to your insights!
Choose a durable filament for your drone parts. PLA (polylactic acid) is common for prototypes, but ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) or PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified) offer better strength and heat resistance.
That sounds like an exciting project! Building a 3D-printed drone can be a rewarding experience although personally am not that creative to make myself a drone 
In your project, make sure to choose motors and electronic speed controllers (ESCs) that match your drone’s size and weight. Common choices are 900Kv motors and 20A ESCs.
In addition, a good flight controller like the NAZA M Lite will help stabilize your drone. Finally, to power up your drone, you can use a 3-cell LiPo battery which is commonly used in various drones.
I wish you well in your project. And if it comes out successful, don’t forget to share with us the end results.
