    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

    • @fpv-geek
      @fpv-geek  День назад

      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!

  • @3dexperiments
    @3dexperiments 7 дней назад

    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!

    • @fpv-geek
      @fpv-geek  7 дней назад +1

      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.

      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.

      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.

    • @fpv-geek
      @fpv-geek  7 дней назад

      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.

    • @fpv-geek
      @fpv-geek  7 дней назад

      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.

    • @HolyOllie
      @HolyOllie 7 дней назад +1

      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

    • @fpv-geek
      @fpv-geek  6 дней назад

      And I think two 18650 cells are too heavy. But that's just a feeling, I haven't tested it yet
