ive been working on a tricopter for a few weeks in autodesk inventor and am wondering what power setup i should go with and if you guys think this thing will even fly. they are 90mm edf cowls and all three rotate like an osprey, the fuselage can hold up to a 6s lipo.

Hi there,
I'm having a few problems with this...
I started to prepare the files for printing but my print area is smaller than the larger parts... I can cut them in Slic3r though...
The real problem I'm having is that when I try to mirror some of the parts, they come out either incomplete or filled in.... like the EDF units, they came out solid like where the fan goes???
Could you help with this?
Could you maybe place all of the files on Thingiverse???
David.
This is on my list of "to build"
Awesome job Nick!
Unfortunately, my printer isn't tall enough to print the biggest part! I can cut it but I'm worried about the strength at the join...???
I am looking forward to seeing the updates on new wings and servo locations...
I do have concerns over making the transition between Tri-copter mode to Tilt-rotor...
Keep up the good work....
this looks very cool!
thank you, this is how i was planning on printing it, and using carbon fiber rods to connect the wings and skids, and a carbon tube or something to hold the tail on. the tail was originally going to rotate as well but i realized its kind of redundant when i could use the front edfs for rudder.
if its printed with ABS plastic and full infill the total mass of just the 3d printed parts is 3.08 lbs. do you think thats too heavy?
