A Flexible 3D Printed Drone That Can't Break 

6:00 Oh man thank you for leaving that in. I wailed with laughter.

when you crash but the drone's still flying 6:04

Haha, nice one, I didn't think that it will work out that great :)

"this is not over!" - pulls out a giant lighter and fixes the drone! you are awesome!

I was like: Why is there no new video yet? Simon: Hitting print for the 100 time... trying to make a 3D printed frame

"Sweden has blessed us with good weather " He is bundeld up in a winter jacket and ushanka "good weather"

Just a tip Since it looks to be cold outside, you should consider that plastics in general get kinda crispy at lower temperatures :) As always good entertainment

I just want to say that you're the reason I bought a 3d printer, and I appreciate your videos. Your editing is great and your humor is on point. Keep it up, man.

Facial hair🤯 i am so proud of you!!!

Have you tried not running the drone into stuff?

Nice for showing all your approaches! So much experience condensed into a nice piece of edutainment!

I enjoy your edits. Great job!

I like how he suddenly looks back at the camera whenever he crashes, feels like the look you give to your friends whenever something awkward or unexpected happened like "did you see that?"

1:39 "it's also painted orange, so it fly faster"... yes that make sense 😂

Your video editing and humor has been crazy awesome! I’ve been watching you for about 3 years now and always enjoy it

One of the best videos I seen in a long time!

Ladies, Yes it's grey sweatpants season, but his drone is up there.

in my experiments ABS adheres VERY well to TPU. I've used it to make rigid parts that have a nice grippy surface to the bottom

Thank you for your all mighty sacrifice of time and sanity for us to reap the benefits :P watching all the drone vids gave me a good laugh and has been truly educating I am now using the info on these different materials for speaker enclosures. Many thanks from Australia!

The camera work and film making in this video was on another level compared to other videos of yours. The pace was great the little throw one drone into another and it magically comes together was a nice touch. Really nice work!

1:39 So if you paint something orange it will go faster?! That's good to know :-)

Great channel dude!! Amazing. Can you do a tutorial about how to make a dron? As you have made in this video? It would be amazing

Thank you for all your entertaining videos. Stay safe in these dangerous times.

Love this Simon, your style is awesome, video, editing, music, content really well done. Favorite RU-vid channel!! Greetings from Australia!

Yey, thats person in comment about filament - Nikodem Bartnik - creator of dremel cnc :)

7:18 - I'm dyin...rooooooofl...I've never seen a drone so thoroughly broken...

Cold and brittle, I'll bet after spring you'll have better luck with the different materials. Thanks for sharing and as always keep building👍

Mate, sorry, but this moment when you fell - it was awesome. And it's not because I like when people suffer, it just shows how proud you are of content you make and how alive you are! Very good! Like it! Thanks for this content!

6:05 exit, stage left :o)

Hey, I remember flying through those trees with our ZMR250's! 1806 motors, 3S and naze32 was the game back then :D

Good video! Really great!

Your humor is just getting better. Love you, man

Hey! You came through on this endeavor! I get that it took a loon while with all those prints and testing them all one by one. But the more respect for carrying through on it. And what a result. Don´t you think it is time that you put an affiliate link for that filament in the description? I mean you deserved it if anyone does deserve to make a few pennies from that. Great work and great video. You had me laughing out loud several times throughout the video. Nicely edited. Keep it up.

If Simon is blessed with kids, they will be lucky to have him as a father.

Your videos kick ass, mannnnn. Skills on the 3d printer, skills on building drones, skills flying drones and your sense of humor are awesome. Keep the great work and looking forward to your next video !

Absolutely AMAZING man. Been waiting some time for someone to take off the glove and produce a working one. Keep up the hard work, it pays off!

4:10 Oh, that cinematography. Beautiful. How did you get the camera to move so consistently, such as with the trees?

hey dude like yr videos and all of yr stuff

Awesome stuff man. Great sense of humor. Loved that.

I’m impressed with your line of sight flying, very nice!

2:22 I hope Stefan is learning something here. :D :D 4:20 "Sweden has blessed us with pretty warm weather." -only a fur hat with ear flaps, parka, gortex pants, and gloves, basically a beach day. Sub'd to Nikodem Bartnik -holy crap, he's got some cool projects under his belt!

2:51 "I was surprised by how many times I could hit this before it broke."

I really love what you do and the way you do it !! really refreshing, Many thanks for your hard work !

Just the right amount of incompetence and motivation to create awesome videos

"Small PP", made my day dude XD

The nylon looks like it was printed too cold. I print mine at 300°C even if the roll says 260°C.

New favorite channel

This is your best video yet in my opinion. Very funny.

What fpv monitor do you use

very nice , can you share the STL and setting , and where did you get the kit for the drawn?

Dude, I admire your persistence. Failing so many times, but keep going. Bravo!

nice vid dude

6:01 got me 😂

How about adding propeller protection guards or stay out of the trees ?

Great vid, love your humor!

I love watching your videos, so much laughter.

Next frame should have smoother corners. Instead of corners like [ or 《, try corners like (

7:00 Oh look a mushroom... Oh no, it's the GPS antenna

Love your videos you've inspired me a lot! Keep it up!

For the love of god! I have a thesis I should be working on but I just cannot stop watching your videos! good job bro \m/

It’s corona time

why do you always fly with a monitor lol its 2020

ain't gonna lie i can watch these all night !! good stuff

Awesome video! Longtime watcher, first time commenter here. Polypropylene is an awesome material for flexible applications, but the other huge part of designing something that is flexible in the right ways and rigid where necessary is the geometry. If you know how the frame is most likely going to be loaded during a crash, then you can adjust the geometry and get all the behavior you're looking for, even with materials that might not seem flexible at first. There are examples of metal devices that are designed to be flexible. Some great resources are the video "Machines That Bend Are Better" by Veritasium and the books "Compliant Mechanisms" and "Handbook of Compliant Mechanisms" by Howell. I'm currently taking a university course from Howell and it's really good stuff. Edit: Apparently I haven't watched quite enough of your videos, because I just got recommended your 3D printed compliant vectoring mechanism video. So you're definitely aware of the resources I mentioned. *Facepalm*

You gotta stop flexing man...

Your videos are pretty cool bro 🤓. And yours 3d printings, those are awesome😊.

4:25 "Pretty warm weather" he says with a fluffy hat and super warm puffer jacket & pants. 😂 Ahh Sweden.

Thanks for providing such a vital information based on your own various tests and trials. So PP material is best for quadcopter frames ! thats awesome !

been a fan for so long

The sarcasm! Love it! Really good video.

nice one! Quite a lot of your you invested. will try this for a toothpick frame.

Just found this channel, subbed. awesome content

love your videos

Excellent videos bro

The "width" of the västgötska @10:19 made me all warm inside!

really really good video

i do like the humour and obviously the toys

Dina videos är bland dom bästa jag har sett på RU-vid!

these videos are fun to watch!

I would really like to see more printer reviews and things like that

Nice, going to print my next frame in PP and share my results :)

This got me to Sub, watched loads of your vids now got me back into 3d printing :)

Great video as always Thanks for sharing :-)

Liked for the algorithm and so you keep making great videos :)

I like it when you turn around real quick and look at the camera every time you crash, as if to check and see if we're still watching. Also those signature quotes, "I know I look like a PRO, but don't be dis-encouraged, if you can't crash like this, it take years of training" "A taste of impact strength" "Our chances are slim, hmm non existent". Thanks for the chuckles.

Good job 👏 👍

you made it!... never give up...

Thanks for This great vid, you are a natural funny guy, i'm your fan!

Your friend is great .. he crashes with no trees at all wow

Man, you're so funny and cool. keep on

I'm glad you caught that on camera 😆

I do not understand how you can be Swedish and so funny. You're editing is 10/10. Yet another great vid , less than three.

This is the best video

Love your videos they are the best 💝💗💓💕💞🖤💖🧡💛💚💙💜❤👍😁

Excelente video amigo fantástico...

Mad LOS skillz!

A few minutes of wild entertainment! :D thumbs up for the algorithm!

Wooooooow, i heard about @Nikoden Bartnik way before RCLifeOn and now he apears to be the one helping, love yours channels

Pretty nice on the los flying
