"Hi Corey,
very nice rendering :-)
Maybe you can drop a .stp file in http://diydrones.com/group/3d-models ?
Thanks in advance!

Stumped! APM works in HIL but not in the field
Started Mar 17, 2011 0 Replies 0 Likes
I uploaded Ardupilot Mega 2.0-Beta Xplane HIL into my APM and ran it in xplane perfectly. modes, rtl, auto, waypoints and altitude all worked. but when i loaded Ardupilot Mega 2.0-Beta and flew it…Continue

Hi, I am running Ardupilot Mega v1.4 with the 2.0 beta firmware. Have it running in Xplane simulator with manual mode and stabilization working fine but when i change it to loiter, RTL or Auto, the…Continue

Corey Upton commented on Corey Upton's blog post Carbon Fiber Parts From A 3D Printed Mold And Point Cloud Data"I printed the mold at .254mm layer thickness. If i had done the fine at .178mm there would be less post processing work. With more sanding and filling and it should turn out as smooth as any other mold. For mold strength, if I were…"
Vince Hogg commented on Corey Upton's blog post Carbon Fiber Parts From A 3D Printed Mold And Point Cloud Data"Thanks for all that. My prototype fuselage was just laminated over foam, which was later removed but now want to make a mould.
If I were doing the plug out of wood I would expect to get a near perfect gloss finish after varnish etc, so would hope to…"
Corey Upton commented on Corey Upton's blog post Carbon Fiber Parts From A 3D Printed Mold And Point Cloud Data"The ribs caused by the layers of the 3D printed part aren't big enough to transfer to the fabric, but do fill with epoxy. This made it harder to remove the part from the mold and made it necessary to sand the surface of the…"
Vince Hogg commented on Corey Upton's blog post Carbon Fiber Parts From A 3D Printed Mold And Point Cloud Data"I was wondering about 3d printing to make a plug for a mould. Having not handled a 3d printed part I was not expecting a great surface smoothness so would have expected to have to sand, prime, paint, anything to be used for a plug.
Was this mould…"

"Sorry for the delay, we added a little shelve inside where the APM gear sits. It's accessible from under the wing. Wish I was a non-profit institution so I could get a real raven or two... Too Cool!"
Corey Upton commented on Corey Upton's blog post Carbon Fiber Parts From A 3D Printed Mold And Point Cloud Data"This part will not be used. In tests, the apm worked just fine on the inside. I was looking for project ideas as it was the end of the semester and carbon fiber looks good in presentations. This project was only my proof of concept that well…"

"where did you get the surplus raven? A new system is a lot more than 45k! Looks pretty beat up. We put the APM2 on a platform added to the raven which sits right below the main wing. Still have a ton of room for payload and…"
Harry commented on Corey Upton's blog post Carbon Fiber Parts From A 3D Printed Mold And Point Cloud Data"You could always do it in fiberglass and then paint it if it interferes. Carbon does look good with that holographic sheen.
I'm trying to design a 3D printed wing tip mold. Shapeways is picky about things coming to a point, has to…"
Eric Tweet commented on Corey Upton's blog post Carbon Fiber Parts From A 3D Printed Mold And Point Cloud Data"I wasn't sure just how into the UAV scene you guys up there were, but this is impressive! Kinda makes me wish I wasn't the only one pioneering UAVs down here in Anchorage. Oh well, someone has to do it, I suppose! Keep up the good work!"
Jesse commented on Corey Upton's blog post Carbon Fiber Parts From A 3D Printed Mold And Point Cloud Data"Now that is a great use for a 3D printer! :-) Awesome work!"
Jonathan Price commented on Corey Upton's blog post Carbon Fiber Parts From A 3D Printed Mold And Point Cloud Data"Excellent work!
BTW, if you do put an AP under there, make sure that there are no antennas anywhere near the carbon fiber. Carbon fiber kills RF propagation dead, it doesn't even make a good ground plane."

UAV for High School Senior Project
Posted on March 21, 2011 at 5:00am 11 Comments 3 Likes
http://arcticuavs.blogspot.com/
As a senior at my high school we are required to complete a senior project prior to graduation. The project can be anything from building park benches to making improvements to the school but it must benefit the community in some way. I have chosen to build a UAV to provide aerial photographs for agencies here in Fairbanks, AK like Fish and Game, city planning, and for public…
