Hey Guys!
I started exploring the endless possibilities a 3D printer can provide. I did not realize the challenge of 3D printing an entire RC helicopter! After designing some parts I want to see how far I can accelerate the RC hobby using a 3D printer!
Of course, I'm also a Tesla enthusiast and love working on any engineering projects I can get my hands on!

Combined 3D Printed RC Helicopter Airframe To ONE PIECE!
Why did it take so long between purchasing the hub motor to getting to this point? Just curious if you were busy doing other things like working or if it’s just really hard to do?
Definitely does not take this long. I paused for a few years, I kept pushing it off. I didn't have a clear direction on my next steps and I was just trying different ideas. It then slowly started to come together.
@@LifeAroundDamian ok thank you so much
This is awesome thank you. Thanks for the update I did the same thing and now I have a solution thanks to you.
The phantom Forward Collision Warnings just show up once you get to 100 perfect score which is unethical. The late night driving is unfair business practice and forces rates to go up for those of us who work between the hours of 10 pm and 5 am. Tesla needs to think about the people who work for a living and need to drive around the clock. I don't think I will be buying another Tesla because insurance is becoming cheaper with gasoline vehicles these days. The Tesla Insurance company also is not on the BBB and complaints are null and void! I don't like this part of being a Tesla owner. Car goes up for sell if they don't change this or at least have an option for those who drive late at night for work. They should come up with something like 15 miles round trip to and from your job to make it fair for all.
Awesome job ... would have liked to see you screaming for joy on the first take 🙂. Can't wait to see it running!!! You mentioned something about not crimping the cables correctly, what was that?
The way my cables were originally crimped, I had the terminal just pinched on both sides of the connector without actually compressing the cable. The proper way was to have the terminal compressed equally around the cable. Hope this makes sense! I'll definitely keep my original reaction for the test drive haha
Literally helped me with the tesla wallconnector problem. Keeps on blinking red because apparently it needed servicing because it just won’t work for some reason. I cleaned out the car ports and the wall connector ports with a cotton swab and it solved the red blinking problem. Im suprised nobody mentioned this when trying to solve this little thing. 🙏
@@CyraTheDead I'm glad it helped!
Can u share design files?
@@MANISHATIWADE-ng6kp Everything is on Thingiverse and Printables.
No one debates the power. Electric has unbelievable torque. Anyone saying different is biased and ignoring truth. That isn’t the issue. The issue (there are a number, but the big issue) is the limitation of batteries
Hello, apart from the cost of the servos, esc, motor, receiver, compared to the cost of a goosky frame kit, how much would you estimate the cost of the remaining parts to buy once you have printed your frame.?
I'm not sure. Since the electronics cost as much as the kit, I recommend buying the kit and transferring everything to a 3D-printed frame. All you would need is the head assembly, swashplate, bearings for the bearing blocks, and some screws to complete the kit.
great video. more like this for tesla DIY fixes will be awesome. BTW if you have the o-ring specifications it will be super helpful(size,material etc)
Bro the amount of control he had was crazy props to u for designing such a durable helicopter Bro.
Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm glad it turned out the way it did. That was the hardest that helicopter has ever been tested too lol
Maybe don't be so obsessed about washing your car. I owned a car for 8 years. Never maybe washed it twice both times as a complimentary service at dealers. The rain takes care of the rest
so I essentially removed the o ring on the plunger, but now the motor is locked on the down position😅
@LifeAroundDamian how were you able to make the two cables with the orange cover to bend so you could access the latch mechanism and grease it? My two cables barely move when I try to pull them, so I can’t access the back of that housing. Help!
No BMS?
Currently no, I will be charging both my 12V and 96V battery pack through my iCharger 308 Duo.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing! Does the canopy fit on alright after putting in the 800mAh liperior?
@S-Waqar Thanks. I haven't tried that out yet.
@@LifeAroundDamian would it be possible for you to please try that? I'd love to go with this mod but I need the bright colors on the canopy for visibility in the sky haha!
You needed turn a litle bit more until the hub motor cable stay under the frame not from the top
I'll have to check that out and see if there's anything I can do about it. Thanks for pointing that out!
GREAT video, thank you. Any chance you made one for the teardown?
I did not, sorry!
direct drive forcefeed back steering wheel
Clr if it won't ruin the glass?
An empty trailer to a loaded trailer is totally different... I've driven the tesla semi and it sucks so bad.
you can hear an announcement telling passengers to walk to baggage claim over the A-bridge
you can install a active balance
I'll have to do some research on this. Thanks for the suggestion!
How were you able to tighten the bolts and nut after the first set of cells tabs are installed? The other.tabs will be blocking access to the tabs
I insulated my hex driver with heat shrink and used an small wrench to hold the nut on the other side. The tabs are just flexible enough to go around them, but it is a very tedious process.
Hi what is your battery pack specs?
I believe these battery packs are the E63 versions. Here is a data sheet on them: xebike.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/lg-e63datasheet.pdf
@LifeAroundDamian thx. I meant your pack that you built
@MrDeceptacon88 My battery is made up of 24 cells. 96V 60Ah battery.
@@LifeAroundDamianHi damian , how much miles you get 60 ah ? I think to buy this cell to 42v65ah , is it good?
Instead of a 12v battery for your low voltage side you can just use a dc-dc filter to step down the voltage.
@piingaz5232 Yes I can. I just have some spare batteries to use and was not ready to invest in a dc-dc converter just yet. I'll consider buying one later on!
Very curious what range you attain and how much power that 8k hub motor really manages to reliably deliver... this is extreamly close to the 1985 VF750C build I want to one day do...
The 1985 VF750C looks to have a ton of space and would be a great cruiser after converting it to electric! Talking with the QS Motor company, I was told that I should get 62-74mi/charge at 40mph and 46-52mi/charge at 49mph. So this heavily depends on the speed I'm going, but I will definitely make a video on the data after some rides!
How much did it cost to build the frame thru PCBWay?
This airframe was mostly printed from Nylon so about $45. PETG can perform just as well and for just under $40. That does not include shipping.
It’s going to be out of battery after that pull, also there isn’t any protection between the driver and what you hit
WD40 or any other household lube would work as cutting oil in a pinch. Engine oil from your car's dipstick would have saved your bits... Think outside the box brother. I have been following this build. Get it done already!!! Hope all is well man, take it easy.
@@Epsonblade I'm pretty far ahead of the build, just behind on putting the videos together haha
Just curious as far as what I should expect budgeting for a battery of this caliber, is it hundreds or thousands of dollars?
This set up that I'm running is a little over 1k.
Sweet nice vid
Thanks!
Can it hold the position?
As in staying in a hover without touching the radio?
@@LifeAroundDamian yeap
My car contacts are clean. My problem is the supercharger connectors. Super charger cable contacts are filthy.
I can see that being the problem. Worst case scenario, the person charging would have to clean them, but unfortunately, not everyone is aware of this.
@@LifeAroundDamian Various videos show people not getting enough power from the supercharger. They move over a couple locations and then they get full power for some reason. The contact resistance varies on each of the charging posts due to wear. Visual inspection shows it.
@newworldodor2641 Yikes. Also, it doesn't help that other car companies are also using these chargers too.
why not show everyone what the oil looked like after a million miles on the gears. lol
Ya I would be curious about that myself!
You just saved me big time. I only had 20 miles left. I was in the middle of Barstow. I needed to charge my Tesla and it would not charge. I used the last few miles I had to go to Home Depot to get the cleaner and to go to a dollar store to get the Q-tips. I went back to the Tesla charger and only had 3 miles remaining. I triedeverything you showed in the video and it worked no thanks to Tesla Service, which was closed when I called the number. Thanks so much for your help. Amazing.
@kylebreslow9120 What an amazing story! I'm glad I was able to help you out! Safe travels!
Hello
Cut the Zipp ties so u can use them again they just shorter if you don't cut behind the zip
insert a small screwdriver behind the barb and you can reuse the whole one
🎉
Wonderful video
Thanks!
Less is more ;) , you can overkill anything , but maybe you only get some extra cleaning up excess some time later.
I got the tesla cable clip, i like to stow away the handle from things like rain and stuff, i keep mine on a wall outside with a 240v plug
What’s the discharge rate on those
bmsbattery.com/home/1005-lipo-36v-60ah-lg-battery-cell.html Here is a similar set I have with specs.
working up a mud...
Just quick question will this fix my car because it charges and stops and when I plug it back in it charges but it does it continuously
This helped me fix my latching issue. I have not had a problem where my car stops charging. What are the errors that come up?
Nice can you 3d print genius cp v2 frame how much please
Great job!
Thanks!
You can use tow mode to release the parking brake.
Both Climate and Defrost heats up the battery
hu - just more additional weight on the top, let the printer swing.... ;-) I guess a hose would do the trick to raise the filament to the top... or a shelf...
The skids, tail and tail fin would be nice to have in a high visibility color if the 3d printed frame is too heavy. I dont have this heli, but I'm wondering if these items fit the stock main frame.
These do fit the stock frame. I was just printing in resin for the first time and picked to dense of a material. If you FDM print the parts, the helicopter is not as heavy.
