3D Printed Racing Drone - Will It Survive? 

nice vid again buddy keep up the good work

RCLifeOn The time spent on the slow mo shots and transitions really take the video to the next level. Keep up the amazing work!

The sound quality is better also, you can really hear the all the echo in your garage now. Seems like you could use some kind of sound dampener on the walls for when you film in there. Nice job on the quad though.

Fuck yeah i noticed, image is way more clear and backgrounds sorta blurs out. Great vids man keep it up. I'm seriously considering buying myself a 3-d printer. Although my school will get one soon. Should i get the cr-10?

Can't wait to see how different materials fair as quad copter body parts

yep, it was his best video

@@Liimed_ I definitely agree! the newest ones have gotten a little more basic in editing style imo.

I printed my own frame of yours and i loved it! Keep up the good work :)

@@zassshi Your heard the man, dame and edding!

You will like it 😀. Check out my vids if you like 🙂. Fpv planes are also a lot of fun. And you can fly further and longer using them

And for the first flight buy proper carbon frame. It's a lot more durable

Meh would say go cheap and small for a learner before spending real money on better components. Flite test has lots of good beginner videos too, tons of fun no matter how you get into it.

a 5" quad is a better platform to learn on for the fact that its so popular. tiny whoops and brushed motor quads are a horrible to learn on because they are so under powered. 2" 3" and 4" are also not the best because the quality of the esc's and flight controllers are a mess when it comes to quality and also with the small size make them a pain to work on. for the fact that 5" is so popular every company is working super hard to bring out the best quality components in that size range and also keep the price down since its such a flooded market right now.

Yeah get into it for sure!!

No it does not, i have crashed these drones alot, it does not feel like your gonna die, you’re just scared you broke something

@@ChirpFPV No shit Sherlock!

Pc Masterrace very original joke....

Pc Master race, haha took a few secs to get it! Cool!

Pc Masterrace lol

Lol

LOL

prizedcoffeecup very exciting

Thierry Schork, I work on this frame. www.thingiverse.com/thing:2507950 I have some one printed it for me at 100 infill PETG and its awesome. But at this infill density its gets a bit heavy. What infill density did you use?

Thierry Schork is the frame still holding up? I am getting ready to build one and this is the frame I want to use

@pascal, I printed it at 100%. it's on the heavy side, but good to learn. @ozzman yep, still flying it. it pretty durable and my only issue is the back of the top plate that broke 2 times, where the spacers connect. but those where VERY rough "landings". not an issue if you can print them, I have a bunch of spare parts.

Did you print the spacers or buy them?

I bought them. I did print a few, but didn't used them. I was afraid of poor mechanical resistance.

Me too! This guy is pure inspiration! Thanks a lot!

That's cool, brother. Did you try printing a drone? 😁

Thank you very much!👍

Depends what you want the drone to do. There is no best drone. It's like asking if a Ford F-150 or a Ferrari is better. Are you towing a boat or racing? There are lots of kinds of drones each good at certain things.

Plur307 I meant a racing drone, similar to the one in the video

Racing drones are already pretty affordable. A top of the line one is only about $300 using all the best stuff. That will get you one that is fast enough to win a world championship if you are a good enough pilot. The expensive stuff is the goggles, all the batteries, charger, controller (transmitter) etc. All that stuff adds up to like 3X the cost of the drone itself. My goggles alone were like $400 + $100 for an upgraded diversity (dual antenna) system. Then add two $20 antennas and the goggles are like $540. About as much as two very nice racing drones.

Plur307 I just want to be able to build a cheap drone to use for fun, not necessarily to win world championships.

All I was really trying to say is that there are a lot of hidden costs. The price of the drone itself isn't all you need to consider. Each battery will only get you about 2 to 5 minutes of flying time on a racing drone. So if you want to be able to go fly for an hour you will need several batteries. They cost about $20 to $35 each. 10 of them will get you about 50 minutes of flying time max. That's $200 to $350 in batteries alone. In my opinion if you are already investing that much in the hobby you might as well spend the extra $100 to get a really nice drone that will be a lot of fun. I love the hobby. I'm just making sure people understand the hidden costs. The drone itself is only one of the many things you will need to get going in the hobby. You might as well make a nice drone because a cheap one can be disappointing. You will also want a nice charger that has a lot of power so you can parallel charge all your batteries at the same time. That alone will probably prevent you from flying a lot because charging the batteries is such a pain in the ass and takes forever. If you go cheap on your charger it will take many hours to charge them all. But a nice charger can charge all 10 in 1 or2 hours. There is a saying "the poor man pays twice". It means the poor man tries to do stuff cheap, finds out the cheap stuff sucks, and has to try again and do it better. It's cheaper to just do it right the first time and buy good stuff. Just trying to help.

Don't buy all these expensive electronics to build this 3d printed quad only to crash and destroy it. A carbon fiber drone frame can be bought for as little as $20 for a 5in. They are inexpensive, durable, and most frames have replaceable arms in case you break one. You can then 3d print the accessories like camera mounts, antennas, and bumpers.

@@HighVoltageMadness Hello, I have a 3d printer and i want to get started with building an fpv drone, i already printed an rc boat in pla and it works well. Think it's worth printing a peon 230 in pla?

JustJedi I was wondering the same

he did

in for response

with the amount of information thats around now its easy to build a quad. i learned everything about building mine right on youtube. only down side is you need the right kind of tools and some experience soldering but even that can be learned on youtube quickly.

As somebody who has built many drones I don't recommend buying premade ones. You will crash and break it. If you don't know how to build and repair it you are screwed. Better just to learn how to build them yourself. It gets easier every day as the technology gets better and parts become more integrated.

i do agree with you that building one is better than buying one but not everyone is willing to learn how to learn how to build and solder. i said the same thing when it came to rc cars where everyone should learn how to build them before they drive them but i have seen how bad some people put those together to the point of super gluing the electronics in and using wood screws and then complain that the car is crap because their repairs didnt work. besides if someone buys a ready to fly quad there are so many videos showing how to replace an esc or motor that its not hard to do. the one thing to consider is most people that get into "drones" just replace them once they crash and break or just quit all together. some people just have no mechanical skills at all.

Problem is drones requering soldering skills from very tiny pads to big awg cables . Big copper cables arent so easy to solder

more of a pistachio guy my self

Weller whs40, absolutely worthless compared to the one I used before, which was the Weller ws81. It does the job I guess, but if you going to do some serious soldering for many years, just get a good one right away so you don't end up with some cheap crap.

a soldering iron i would suggest is a hakko fx888d. they are such good quality that they will out live you and they go for about $100 US. it is such a dream to use because how fast it heats up and holds temps.

I also have a Hakko and I highly recommend it. I also recommend a large chisel tip and a precision pencil tip. It only takes a few seconds to change tips. The large chisel tip is best for general soldering because it has so much mass and holds heat well. The fine pencil tip is great for precision circuit board stuff.

some19872003 thanks everyone!

some19872003 the only problem is that i live in europe and the soldering iron runs on 110v power not 240v.

They actually are pretty bad. Fragile and unbalanced

5 now

Haha im Norwegian but liked:)

Sasha. Djordjevic Do I'm from Norway and I liked the video

Johann Magnusson Hahaha...great, he deserves it
