I Built an Autonomous Drone at Home: Part 1 (3D Model to 3D Print) /// EP07

Learn how to build your own UAV! Part 1 of the build series shows how to assemble the airframe of a long-range, 3d printed, vtol UAV. Enjoy

Long-range Wing/VTOL Drones have 10 times the range of traditional rotor drones, making them superior for specific commercial use cases, autonomous long-range missions and scenic FPV flights.

Building your own is an incredibly fulfilling and challenging experience, which I am hoping you will embark on.

Note: Never cut Carbon Fibre without proper protection and ventilation. I made a big mistake.

Important! Do NOT cut carbon fibre without proper respiratory, eye and hand protection, especially at home or any unventilated area. Thank you brothers for the comments. Learning by doing can have hidden dangers, so I appreciate it!

Perfect timing on this, I'm planning to assemble a Stalion VTOL this weekend!

I assume the investors said no and thats why your pitching it to us? lol.

you should reinforce this 3d print with some glass fiber, epoxy or resin.
I am from france and also drone builder, i will be verry happy to work with you (we have same goals i think ^^)

Thanks so much for doing these great build videos. I am also building a Stallion. I have a Bambu X1C but having a hard time getting a good results printing with Polymaker LW PLA can you share all of your settings. Following your videos for my build. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

There is a light weight ABS available as well. If you want a printer to do engineering filament I'd look into a Qidi I have the Q1 and it's awesome for abs, nylon and even polypropylene.

don't cut carbon fiber unprotected in you room....

[cippomatto]

building the super stingray here! I also bought the caddx walksnail with gm3 gimbal :)

[Pod.Clips-Shorts]

can you show the electronics and flight controller configurations in detail in next video?

[retro]

I purchased and received zip file but there are no PDF instructions on assembly ?

What do you all here think about New Jersey? 9The 'Drone' situation)

[biafra]

PLEASE CAN YOU SHARE ME THE MODEL CANT AFFORD TO BUY. THANKS

[SmashCamzzz]

This plane is from flighttory. Are you the designer?

[augurelite]

please use gloves, eye protection, long sleeves, and a RESPIRATOR when cutting carbon fiber. youre going to fuck up your lungs and skin
