3D Printed FPV Drone

Click to subscribe: http://bit.ly/Sub-CCxRC  — Had a lot of fun building my first 3D Printed FPV drone. Right after receiving my Anet A8 I gave it a pretty big task. I still wasn't completely sure how to set it up for optimal printing (and still keep tweaking it), but it hammered this out in about 8 hours. It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough. I took it out for its first flight and had an unfortunate crash while front flipping it. I printed a new top plate and camera mount to replace the broken parts and am showing the fixed version in this video. I've since taken it out several more times and really like this. I need to print some motor mounts to live them from that base a bit more because these short Emax 1806 motors aren't tall enough. I had to add some spacers below the props to keep them from hitting the screws in the frame.

All-in-all it was a really great experience and rewarding to know that I can print something like this at home now. Links below to the 3D printer and the parts I used to build the drone.
