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

[@pathfinder.george]

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!

[@thirtythreeeyes8624]

If you can, do it with a water bath as the dust can get everywhere.

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

[@pathfinder.george]

That's awesome! You'll love every part of it. The tail assembly is a little more complicated, but the video is coming out in 1-2 days. I will post the whole process weekly until it's programmed and in the air doing autonomous missions.

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

[@thirtythreeeyes8624]

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.

[@pathfinder.george]

Thanks for sharing! I've seen other wing builders use ABS, so I'm tempted to try it. Didn't know about the lightweight variant tho. How does Qidi compare to Bambu? Is it a noticeable improvement?

[@cippomatto9098]

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

[@pathfinder.george]

Oh wow, that's epic! How far along are you? I'm also currently building a Stingray VTOL, but without the gimbal. I certainly plan on adding one with onboard machine vision as soon as I do a few autonomous flight tests.

[@Pod.Clips-Shorts]

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

[@pathfinder.george]

Absolutely! I'll do my best to upload weekly. It took me quite a while to get it in the air so I'll do my best to explain everything necessary to get airborne. Are you planning on building a fixed wing UAV?

[@Pod.Clips-Shorts]

@pathfinder.george yeah i build quads. But i wanna try vtols and heli once. Heli is expensive ngl and there is veryyyy less resources available for it

[@retro93277]

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

[@pathfinder.george]

@@retro93277 In that case the manual may be on the product page itself under the photos. That was the case for the Stingray.

[@retro93277]

@ thanks

[@biafra13743]

PLEASE CAN YOU SHARE ME THE FILE

[@gonzalobertomeu2938]

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

[@pathfinder.george]

Thanks for the heads up brother, I'll make sure to do that outside with proper protection.

[@biafra13743]

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

[@pathfinder.george]

Of course Not. You can try to find free 3d models online (Thingiverse, etc) but I bet Flightory models will be superior, hence why they can only be purchased via their official website - I am not affiliated with them. You could try to message them for an extra discount. Cheers!

[@biafra13743]

@pathfinder.george I am really broke here in Africa. Thanks if you can send it sir, I would provide an email.

[@SmashCamzzz]

This plane is from flighttory. Are you the designer?

[@pathfinder.george]

I'm not the designer, just a very happy customer. His models are incredible.
