PSS on weight distribution you missed my whole point.

On weight distribution you wrote just what I implied. Thats what I just said obviously.
Some of the drone kits i see need to be in the trash.
carbon fiber tubes with 3 joints held together with nuts and bolts.
everything is the opposite of what I am told here.
printing a drone is easy for anyone who can use a printer.
Stop telling people you can not print a drone or that it will not work as well as store bought.
Of course you can print one and it will be just fine.
Im curious about boards and detached Accelerometers but i will go ask somewhere else. As you may make me angry again saying. "Oh no you cant do that", "it wount work". "Oh they do not have anything like that" bla bla bla

"probably wount work" is that a joke?

there has to be 100 of these on youtube. do you sell drone bodies? whats your motivation for saying that?

This is cooler, some advantages, do not say it is not the same as a quad they are just as easy.

In your first post you mention 23mm motors which are designed for 5" quads so that suggests you intend to print a frame for a 5" quad.

A 3D printed frame might work on a micro quad which has a tiny footprint, low powered motors, and hardly any weight to it, but for a 3D printed 5" quad frame you are likely going to struggle to tune the quad and to keep the frame intact. There is more than one member on here who tried and eventually gave up with their dream of a 3D printed 5" frame after realising it was a lost cause even though we warned them of the challenges they would face.

The Prusa video you linked to is for a micro quad. Most of the videos on YouTube that feature 3D printed 5" frames are 5 or more years old. There's a reason for that which is because the people experimenting with those realised fairly quicky that the only material worth using for a frame is carbon fibre or titanium, both of which have a low weight to high strength ratio. To make something strong enough out of 3D plastic that won't flex/vibrate when throttling up and which won't just snap if it hits the ground at the wrong angle will need to be printed so thick/dense that the resulting weight of it will mean that it flies like 

It's possible that the latest versions of Betaflight might help to deal with a lot of the vibrations from a 3D printed frame but there will be so much filtering that it is going to ruin the feel and responsiveness of the quad.

Of course, we will be more than happy for you to prove all of the old timers with years of experience wrong, so once you have a working quad that flies well with a 3D printed frame, please post some images of the build and some footage from the flights

There is no secrete on how these work, I'm 100% positive it will work just fine, Im sure my first build will be fine. I put it as nicely as i could the first time but I feel on how to build you really get some bad advice here. weight distribution is never "irrelevant". How can you think that? It is no wounder you can not make one.
 There is nothing about being "hellbent" it is easy. of course it will woke. that is just very bad advice. It makes me angry. people print these all the time.
 Stop telling people this you could not be more wrong. Im sure, its easy, no secrets,everyone knows how to do it, search youtube, stop saying that, it is just wrong, bad, incorrect.

So how about you build it as you want, since all the people who have been building and flying drones for years know less than you.  You've been given advice, that's all we can do.  You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

Anyway this thread is a waste of time.  Maybe go away build your quad and come back in a month and show us the excellent flight video where you prove us all wrong.

I have a feeling the OP probably isn't coming back here any time soon after abusing members in this thread who took UNPAID time out of their day to try and offer FREE advice.

The OP's location (GPS coordinates) specified on their public profile page appears to be in the middle of Isabella Lake. Maybe that's a prediction of where the 3D printed quad is going to end up

You posted my location! Whats wrong with you?

I do not care if Im a neebee here. Please do not call me "hell bent". Im still correct and you are still wrong it is easy to print a frame just as good as store bought. Do you think it is ok to post my location? Do you have a good reason to do it? are you upset? Are you just mean? Are you a child? Take it down.

Don’t engage, Lemony… don’t do it.. don’t… RAWWWR!

Dude, you’re the one who posted gps coordinates in your public profile. 

You say that people don’t have the right to give advice that you deem to be “bad”? You ASKED for advice and help. We took the time to share our experience and knowledge.

You have every right to ignore that advice. Hell, I think most of us would love for you to prove us wrong. A large number of us have 3d printers, and we would all certainly like to be able to use them to print a good, well flying, 5” quad.

A number of us have tried and failed miserably, because unfortunately, most of the material available to print doesn’t have the properties required.

That doesn’t mean you’ll fail. We may advise against it, but that certainly doesn’t stop you from trying it on your own.

Once again, you have every right to ignore the advice that you requested, but it is NOT okay to abuse those who gave the advice just because you don’t like it.

A better approach would have been to ask for clarification on why we think it’s not a good idea- and then we all could have had a constructive discussion about it, which may have even led to a collaborative effort to design the best 3d printed frame of the largest size possible.

That is the last advice I’ll offer to you. Hopefully it will help you in future interactions.

It’s probably a little too late for any kind of constructive discussion now, as I and probably most others are pretty much done with this thread.

You are the child.  You posted the coordinates on your public profile.  So it is public knowledge.  It won't be taken down, in fact maybe I should go post it all over Reddit and RCGroups.

So anyway, run along and bother someone else.

@Oscar, we really should have a rule on here that people under the age of ten aren't allowed into this community.
