For anyone wondering. The best material to print this frame out of would be cf-nylon/pa-cf becuase it is only 60 percent the weight of pla but way stronger. If your printer can't print out of that then just basic pla or petg should work but you may need to replace the frame more often.
Print a test frame off thingiverse, leave it out in the sun for an hour or two. I think PLA/PLA+ is too prone to warping in the sun. ASA may be a better choice since its rated up to 90°c as to most PLA at 40°c
I am a big fan of 3d printing but as far as i know the frame is the cheapest part of the drone it doesn’t make sense to print it not to mention the strength of such a part.
We like to try new materials and methods. Additive manufacture has many benefits especially when speed or location is an issue. Carbon fibre frames £50-100 depending on build and quality. 3d printed frame - maybe £5-10 max
My ‘interesting material and method’ at the moment is additive manufacturing and SLS printing. We are using some carbon fibre reinforced products but each part is expensive but worth it for the right items. Material we went with on this one was PLA in Galatic black off of memory. We are okay with orange and Teal colours which is fun. PETG and TPU as well which is fun playing with more flexible print finishes.
@@edinburghdronecompany Using PLA, do you anticipate it can handle a crash. I ask because it’s an interesting idea to print frames but the durability is my question. Being new to fpv, I’m very good at breaking things. lol 😂
@@JuicySmullietFPV - no they are terrible during impacts! They disintegrate 😂 Stick with carbon fibre, this is only for fun. Other print methods and materials stronger but this method and material is only for fun.
We have printed and flown lots, this is our first share on the channel. They don’t handle impact well but it’s a fun project and easy way to test parts integration
Hey Im new to design and 3d printing. I bought a Bambu lab p1s. I built my first frame and I need help with the electronics bc I don't know what I am doing, could you help me out?
Hi, good work so far. Bambu are very good printers. We can teach you if you are local to us. We do not offer virtual lessons. See our website for full offering - www.edinburghdronecompany.co.uk
It’s a fun video, we produce all sorts of drones for real life scenarios. This was Jack who does our RUclips teaming up with a new employee. The file wasn’t designed by us. Happy flying

Well done! Best wishes from Canada
Thanks, enjoy the channel! All home grown in Scotland 🏴
Good video, but where do we get the files and what filament did you use?
this is probably pla
nice one! what was the weight of this frame?
hi where can we find that frame? Thanks
have you tried printing these drones with PET bottle filaments?
Hi where can i find that Frame or can you send me link on it ? Thank you
Me too
I want to print it with pet bottle filament
Wehre are the print files? And can i print with PLA? also nice video

@EnvyOCE Its possible to print in pla but if u want it to be sun resistent u can make a protective layer of high temperature tape

we want to see if it can hold up in a Crash like Carbon fiber frames? 🤔😉
No, nothing like carbon. It will fracture and break
What’s the total weight of the 3D printed Frame only?
About 26
Do you have the STL files for this drone so we all can print one and try it out?
I want this, so where is BOM ? Will you release it ?
We can release the BOM on this if desired. We sell most of the parts!
New video coming soon on 3D printed drones
What’d you use to print with? PETG? Have you had the first crash with it yet?

amazing, maybe you wanna try to test crash to see how the impact.. 😂
But your work is awesome, keep going and and share..

@@edinburghdronecompany ok.. Thanks for share..
Honestly does it really matter if it's crash resistant if you can print another one within a hour or two.
Great thing about printed frames is you can print 10 of them in a day and if one breaks, its easy to replace!
What infill %?
As much as possible, 100% of time allows

What breed is dog?
Hi sir many can i know what types of motors, sensor , remote are used in your drone
Mi biissts a mim popo
I'm not a big fan of high center of weight drones like this one appears to be.
i'd put the camera on top so the weight is more to the center and the camera on top so yo don's see the props as well
32 cc rc gas two stroke drone with gps
@@mindlessautomaton2.0 -zooooooooom
all that work and the props are in view...that's a fail... battery should hang under the drone for better CG

Think you missed the bit where they said it wasn't their design aye
Show us yours
@@BrownSkinFriend why I would build a POS like that.. I have 6 drones from 2 inch to 7 inch how many do you own? I built ALL of them
@@thrillchaser9492 ohhhhh I see… one of those kind of people…
