Every time I see these I get the itch to build one. I have none of the drone parts or FPV equipment and that is what halts me from doing it. I know that it can be done on the cheap but up front it is a lot. Still though, this is so intriguing to see being built. Maybe V2 will have me jumping on board and building?
Start with a transmitter, then next check or next extra money u can buy the drone parts, then buy goggles later after u learn to fly line of site a bit in close proximity. Baby steps so u don't see the huge upfront cost, just each little costs lol
Yeah, I agree with Todd_G_FPV. You’ve gotta take it step by step and buy parts as you go. Maybe check for used parts too, that can save you a lot. It’s all about building up gradually so the cost doesn’t feel overwhelming. Once you get started, it’s hard to stop!
That's why you post the stls and take an opemnsoirce approach and even have a competition and see who can make the best rendition of your design and everyone wins
Check filament density values and you should be able to set that in your slicer to get a reasonable estimate of weight. PETG is pretty dense. LW PLA is very low density but is probably not strong enough to use everywhere in the structure. Great video!
Thank you for the tip. Yes, I had printed it in PLA in the first video. For the second one, I wanted to test PETG because ABS is just too toxic for me and I want everyone to be able to print it.
@@fpv-geekif you don't plan to assemble it several times and you only put it together once, the heat set inserts are not required. Better print a hole with 3 small wings into which the screw can self tap. The hole looks before the screw kind like a rounded triangle. It saves weight, cost and assembly time with literally no downside.
Thank you for the tip. Yes, I wanted to test PETG because ABS is just too toxic for me and I want everyone to be able to print it. Maybe I'll try ABS anyway, if I can move my printer outside in the summer :-)
@@fpv-geek you can also put it in a box with a tube attachted to it with a fan iun between so you can route the tube out of ur window and the fan sucks away the not so nice fumes
How big does the fan need to be? I currently print in a closed cabinet with an activated carbon filter. However, I have read that an activated carbon filter is not 100% protection against carcinogenic substances and that the filter also releases these substances back into the air at a certain temperature.
Yes, I will definitely do that differently for a future version. But I had my reasons for using an external VTX. Do you know a 1S AIO that can handle low voltages of 3V?
@@fpv-geek most people fly 1s drones till li-po battery gets to 3.3 v so voltage wont be problem , i wouldn't suggest going lower than 3.2v . also you could try light weight PLA i dont know if its strong enough but it could help
@ Yes, I know. I have some 1s tiny whoops. But this is a Li-Ion battery. I can discharge this up to 2.8V. The ESCs in particular can be a little bitchy when it comes to low voltage. That's why I asked. Not every 1S AIO likes such a low voltage.
Nice drone turned out. What is this small cute little printer that you have? Printed quality looks very good, and it prints so fast with this good results... my poor Ender with 60mm/s...
Thanks a lot! This is a Voron 0.2. The print volume is small (120mm), but this thing is insanely fast. If you enjoy building, it's worth the money. I had a lot of fun assembling it. Got it for €350 on sale. I’ve added the printer to the description.
I'm not sure if the battery might be too heavy. How much does a 21700 weigh? If the weight isn't an issue, I could try designing a 21700 version-it should roughly fit in terms of dimensions.
it wont work as well because youll be using way higher amperage to power the motors which causes very high efficiency loss. you really need higher voltages. 2 18650s would be better for double the voltage
No joke, I had the same idea. However, the O4 Lite is supposedly not good at handling low voltage. So I need a step-up converter. But I’ll give it all a try.

@ It's a prebuilt based on #NanoLongRange by Dave_C_FPV. You can print it, but carbon frame is simply better.

Very nice! And thank you for the files ❤
Can you please build a 2s li-ion version of this with the o4 air unit lite. That would be an amazing video.
This is being planned :-) But my goal is to stay with 1S.

My STL files are already published under a Creative Commons license. Are you suggesting I use a different license?
think you can easily drop some weight just printing those plates a little thinner
What is your flight time?

You need to try to print from abs, it has a little less density. Thanks for the work

if you use 5in1 controller you can get so much weight off it , there are many with 400mw VTX like betafpv air controller it like 4 grams
Yes, I will definitely do that differently for a future version.

You mount motors with props on. Does it mean you can’t replace props without taking arms off ?
No, you can easily change the props. You don't have to dismantle anything.

Awesome range!
How long does it fly?

Lol, no. Walksnail 1S lite is a better choice at 1S.
walksnail is currently not an option for me, as I only have dji. But yes, it would probably be better suited for 1s.
