NLR35 - 3d printed Nanolongrange digital FPV drone

This is the 3rd iteration of my 1s Nanolongrange design. This time, the aim was to provide a more robust and versatile frame. In my opinion, 1s Nanolongrange FPV drones are just at the beginning and can push all boundaries! Get the .stl files here www.thingiverse.com/thing:542... or here www.printables.com/model/2695...

More 3d printed drones 😍

[@lililililililili8667]

this is exactly the type of build I've been hoping for idk why all the nano long range stuff is 18650 instead of 21700

[@lililililililili8667]

just need that wokesnail whoop vtx to drop and I'll be in business

[@Unboxingexperience7]

seems it will be heavy though - 1s 75mm whoop is at 39g. I suspect the VTX-camera-antenna set to be twice as heavy as HDZero at around 14g.

[@Coolfwip]

Thank you for this

[@AerialWaviator]

Impressive Nanolongrange design. Seeing used only ~500mAh to travel out 900m before turning around at 8:50. This suggests can travel 6-8 km on a flight.The constraint being video (antenna limitations)

[@Unboxingexperience7]

yes, it is highly efficient. I get on my digital version +10km distance but 2.1km range

[@hockeyrounds]

Very cool. I have a 2in quad I'd like to start doing micro LR with.

[@Unboxingexperience7]

Go for it!

[@Leeengold]

Is this Donauinsel in Vienna? Is flying there allowed?

[@Amzdgg]

Do you have any issues with heat? having the fc/esc and the hdzero board close together without the heatsinks seems like that would get hot. On the other hand you dont have much blocking windflow so might be fine?

[@Unboxingexperience7]

No problems so far except a broken cam without a crash. But I never used it in hot weather.

[@seantuitz]

Very nice! How is the ABS+ in terms of warping and strength? I considered buying it for my Cr 10 which doesnt have an enclosure, as they say that it warps less, but wasnt sure as they are basically no reviews on it.

[@Unboxingexperience7]

ABS+ is superior to PLA+ and PLA. The latter warp after printing in sunlight and heat. ABS+ is warping during printing. I had no luck without enclosure so I used a blanket.

[@brezovprut4431]

Is it too much to use 1303.5 motors on single 21700? Have you tested 3.5" biblade props (T3.5x2.2x2 HQprops)?

[@Unboxingexperience7]

1303.5 with high kv around 11000 are perfect. The Hq biblades are drawing too much amps (>18A) and this setup was struggling. They might work on an ultralight carbon frame version. I guess a 3516 biblade would work fine.

[@TechOffZedOn]

Hey, great job. Thank you for doing this. Is this version superior over the Nanolongrange_v2, or just different? If so, what are the poros/cons between the two?

[@Unboxingexperience7]

V2 is lightweight and more compact. NLR35 is slightly bigger and beefier and, thus heavier. My top 3 pros for NLR35 are: Magnetic connectors are great, you don't need to weld/solder Liion batteries. GPS locks very fast due to different type and mount. Flexibility: props up/down, props up to 3.5", battery on top/bottom, FC top or bottom

[@TechOffZedOn]

@@Unboxingexperience7 so the v2 has longer flight time?

[@Unboxingexperience7]

didn't test endurance. probably slightly higher.

[@TechOffZedOn]

@@Unboxingexperience7 Thanks :)

[@OusyedChinli]

Hello Unboxing experience your name should be Experienced Builder!! with that out of the way just a question. Is the casing on the HD zero flight unit just for protection or is it also a Ihs? (heat shield)?

[@Unboxingexperience7]

it primarily protects from physical damage

[@ningcraft6694]

Is this usable with all the parts from the nanolongrange v2?

[@Unboxingexperience7]

yes, only the gps mount is for the smaller and lighter namelessrc tiny gps

[@pukki34]

Needs a 2s version.

[@larssmith6780]

I was looking at the thingiverse page and saw that it was printed at 20% infill, why not higher? Too much weight?

[@Unboxingexperience7]

yes.20% seems to be a good compromise between weight and robustness.

[@evren.builds]

What are those magnetic connectors you are using for the battery?

[@Unboxingexperience7]

It's in the thingiverse/printables deposit. 3d printed caps for 5x2mm magnets which push Nickel strips to the battery terminals. It's something I ve designed and tested.

[@evren.builds]

@@Unboxingexperience7 thanks a ton ^^ great build :)

[@FinaISpartan]

Might've lasted longer with the VTC6. About the same capacity but smaller and lighter.

[@Unboxingexperience7]

I thought so too, but kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5u7oqGwrJmap9E New Molicel 21700s have even more power and capacity over the tested Samsung 40T. 21700 is the way to go.

[@thisguyeddiex7136]

I really like your scale. What’s the name of it? I want same thing

[@Unboxingexperience7]

look for coffee scale, it also got a timer. i found mine on aliexpress

[@jeffclassics]

Truly amazing Bro. What motor kv did you use? Thanks. Might build too. In the hdzero build, did you have spare uart for the gps but intentionally not put?

[@Unboxingexperience7]

11500kv. no there was no spare uart for gps... newer boards have spi elrs so you have 2 spare uarts. then gps will work too. I ll do an update with a fancy carbon version with gps hdzero/walksnail. so stay tuned!

[@Unboxingexperience7]

11500kv. This was on an old board without a free uart. on the newer version I ve used a darwin aio with a free uart for gps
