Greetings everyone! 

I am a 22 year old Mechanical Engineer by profession and I got into the world of RC airplanes in 2020. I got into FPV quads in the second half of 2022 and I have designed and 3D printed my own frames, most of them being 7" ones. I have transitioned to 5" frames now and I would appreciate any help you could provide me with the challenges I may have to face on this beautiful journey!  

Have a great day ahead!

Welcome to intoFPV!

What filament are you using to print your frames?
Dangerous operations.

I wish I could get the smell of burnt electronics out of my nose.

I'm using eSun PLA + but I'm planning to transition to the world of ABS 3d printing! PLA gets the job done for now but ABS will allow me to fly the drone even in bright sunny days!

A number of us here have tried 3d printing our own frames, with unacceptable results on anything larger than a couple inches.

If you’d be willing to type up a tutorial, or some tips and tricks on how you’ve successfully done it in a new thread, I think we’d all be very grateful. Smile

Oh wow! I apologize for the late reply on this post! The truth is that I didn't get an email notification even though I had signed up for it!
Sure thing! I'll write a post when I get the adequate time and share some things that I learned on my journey of 3d printed frames! I have a couple of carbon fibre frames lying around and eating dust just because I wouldn't get the same satisfaction using those frames as compared to designing and testing my own frames. Eventually when I get the hang of flying on acro mode and flying with fpv goggles on, I'll move on to using my Carbon fibre frames to enjoy all the goodness of those stiffy bois!   ROFL
