I agree with your first point.

The milled fiberglass the author used is a much better UAS frame material than anything from a filament 3d printer due to stiffness and related considerations.



Oh no doubt. I'm no drone expert!


It's good thing you threw in that suggestion then!

I wonder if you've considered making the piston rods out of legos?


I will stick up for spiralcoaster. This post is direct and could be interpreted as offensive. Sarcasm both in general, and especially over text is often not appreciated. (It partially depends on culture). Yet, I think this analogy is appropriate here, and I was thinking along the same lines.


But people do 3d print frames for drones and gliders. It's undoubtedly worse than carbon fibre, I guess, but I found it interesting enough to share that you can buy especially lightweight filaments designed for aeronautic stuff.
