A racing drone from a 3D printer :)
Hi! This is another construction from me 
actually made by me I would like to present you a cool toy for every little bit older boy/girl or for adults Namely this is a racing drone whose frame I printed on a 3D printer (which I made myself, to be found at this link Link , the printer is under constant modification and improvement).
THE FRAME DESIGN IS NOT MINE! It can be found at this link Link .
As the name suggests the drone is a racer, its purpose is to fly fast and give maximum fun This type of equipment is equipped with FPV (first-person-view) cameras, that is, we feel as if we would be the ones flying at my place I do not yet have such cameras and googles (video from the drone is uploaded to google), because the budget does not allow it
At the moment the drone presents itself like this:
So the frame is not all that went into equipping my drone (all from friends in the east):
- motors Emax RS2205 2300KV 160zł
- F3 Flight Controller Acro 45zł
- Power distribution board Matek 15zł
- ESC 30A from DYS 100zł
- 10 channel receiver from FlySky (I know it's too much, but it came with a remote control)
- FlySky FS-i6X 10CH remote control (comes with receiver) 210zł
- Imax B6 lipo charger (probably a clone) 60zł
- Batteries from redox and tattu (3 cell and 4 cell) about 70zł each
- Propellers from DYS 5045 20 pcs about 30zł
Summing up for the whole equipment comes out 760zł, and let's remember that I do not yet have a camera for FPV and goggles which alone can cost more than 700zł
Is it worth it ?
If someone has the desire to try their hand at playing with RC and has a 3D printer is wholeheartedly recommend if the drone breaks it is enough to add a broken part and ready I myself had a lot of fun with it, with putting it together, configuration and calibration, and now with the actual flying (it is not so easy ).
I recommend to anyone who wants to try something new and develop a little in this direction WARNING only that this is not a toy for small children, you can cause great harm flying into someone with such a machine, the weight of the whole exceeds 600g, and the maximum speed I measured on a 4 cell battery is 98KM/H!!! Propellers alone spinning at up to 30k rpm can cut your finger
It is worth adding that on the net you can find quite a few modifications made by other users
The drone, despite its racing frame, can carry a GoPro and shoot great videos
I am happy to answer questions, if I have not written something then please ask

You have practically not used the possibilities of 3D printing, the same could be done on a milling machine. Well it's too bad you're flying around the house, because you shouldn't be. The legal limit... [Read more]
You could save £50 on your camera by buying the FS-i6 model (without the X) + FS-iA6B receiver. This is a 6-channel set, but by uploading alternative software (which is trivial) you can easily extend the... [Read more]
After the first mole you will see for yourself that printing a frame is a bad idea.... Now frames are very cheap for 100p you can buy a Tbs source one/two for example. I used to print a TOBY X frame for... [Read more]
The frame has passed more than one mole, I was worried it wouldn't last much but I've only replaced one component for a month :) [Read more]
Flying is not equal to flying, if you don't have a camera and fly rather in stabilised mode then I'm not surprised. [Read more]
Sure thing, at the moment I'm learning to fly, I'll only start acro once I've grasped the basics and bought the FPV equipment, then I'll be milling a carbon fibre frame too [Read more]
Recalculate the costs well with regard to milling, you will pay more for a good carbon than for a complete frame with accessories. [Read more]
It is not worth creating a frame from scratch for amateur use. The cost of a used frame for 250 starts at £35, a new one you can buy for £90 The cost of the carbon fibre plate alone is much higher... [Read more]
Hello, I actually have one question about this drone: Will you replace the frame with a "carbon" one somehow in time, or only after the accident ???? if "plastic" would be suitable for a frame our oblique... [Read more]
Printed propellers are not as flexible and are very difficult to balance. The price of such propellers in the shop is max. 20 PLN. As for the zmr250 frame there is max 4mm carbon fibre on the arms -... [Read more]
Printed propellers unfortunately I would have to replace at every small crash, the carbon frame will definitely fly :) a matter of time :) I am aware of the plastic and the overloads, but the PLA frame... [Read more]
Waste of time, fire up your PC simulator and train to fly acro from the start. [Read more]
Definitely true what lechoo writes. I recommend liftoff - paid but pretty good physics, there are some free ones too. Don't make the same mistake as me and start flying in a different mode than acro, because... [Read more]
Can I count on a video from the GoPro? PS. You accidentally revealed your address. [Read more]
I'll post the GoPro video when I can get something cool to record :) I'm learning to fly and at the moment it's pretty unimpressive. Thanks for the info on the address, I will remove those pictures if... [Read more]
You can easily 3D print, only, not with cheap PLA, but with some industrial filament. If you have a decent full-metal setup, you can, for example, from: - ABS-ST from https://www.corotechnology.com/polish/compositum-filament-series/compositum-abs-st/ or... [Read more]
Yes you can ...but it will still be heavier, less durable and more expensive than an average carbon frame from a Chinese manufacturer ;) I have never had any EMC problems in a drone and I think that if... [Read more]
Well, on the same principle, why make a DIY drone when you can buy a ready-made one "from the Chinese" for half the price...? The same way you make sumo robots. You make it to be what you dream it to be....... [Read more]
Some things don't make any sense at all to make a frame for a racer or a flight controller from scratch. You could just as well say that it is not DIY at all, because the guy didn't make the motors, ESCs... [Read more]
