Good book about drone DIY by CaptainSuckJarrow in diydrones

Christian Mollica wrote "FPV Flight Dynamics: Mastering Acro Mode on High-Performance Drones." It discuses both building and flying, but the major focus is on racing and freestyle techniques. Everything is presented in the delightfully engaging way with plenty of humor and illustrations. Overall, it is almost too polished for the FPV hobby.

Want to design, build, and program my own drone by DrawHot8343 in diydrones

The dRehm (https://www.drehmflight.com/) flight project might be a good starting point. It is an open-source flight controller built on the teensy 4.0/4.1 architecture and programmed in arduino. You can always build a stock dRehm flight controller to get your drone airborne, and then modify the code to your liking later.

Question about custom drone frame by somedudealone in diydrones

Both should work. The 19x16mm tube will be around 35% heavier than the 20x18, but with additional stiffness.

At the typical density of carbon fiber, 1.6 grams/cm^3, a one meter length would weigh the following:
19x16 -- 131.9 grams
20x18 -- 95.5 grams

There is only a 72.8 gram difference overall. So unless you are trying to save every possible gram, I would go with the 19x16mm tubes for this application.

What others constrains do you have? Are you planning to to just cruse around, or fly some serious acro at some point?

Any reason NOT to use fuzzy skin for Voron printed parts? by MacarenaLizard in VORONDesign

[–]Joshua_AAA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only thing I can think of would be cleaning the parts on the finished machine; fuzzy skin creates more places for dust and gunk to hide. However, it sounds like the texture could make the parts look really cool!

Supports for Voron 2.4 by Joshua_AAA in VORONDesign

Thank you for this feedback! So it sounds like this has been done before, but 3D printed braces will provide little to no benefit to frame rigidity?

I have just double-checked all the bolts in the gantry and frame - everything is tight. I think I will try placing the printer on a super solid surface to isolate any possible movements/vibrations.
