    Hey nick! Amazing project! It seems like you are using PLA as a material to print the frame. If you use ABS, PETG or even ASA, it will be much stiffer, and you'll be able to make the drone lighter. Your printer should be able to print these materials easily

    Those issues you had were what you call "fly away", where the flight controller gains are higher than the frames rigidity can handle, causing a back and forth over-increase of the motor, then the opposite side motor trys to compensate for changing tilt angle, and this continues in a loop causing the fly away. You could have simply lowered the master gain by 20%, and it would've flown. The two bolts and no wire inside arm is definitely an upgrade though, no reason to make a plastic frame weaker for looks.

    Watching your first 3d print being made is like watching your child walk for the first time

    This is great! A great way to add rigidity whilst also keeping profile down is to increase the wall count in your slicer! This is most definitely what I would’ve tried and hope you can get some use out of it 😁

    Great video! One idea - For the H beam design, 3D printing has the advantage of internal infill, preventing the need for things like I/H beams. Its a interesting concept that isn&apos;t like any regular manufacturing technique meaning you don&apos;t have to follow conventional design.
