Mike Bristol commented on tristan price's blog post Freezing fog grounds my hexa in less than a minute"I'm not sure how well any solution will work for freezing fog or any sort of icing condition. Even full size helicopters and aircraft will try their best to stay out of freezing fog. I know I try and avoid it like the plague, even…"

Jonathan Burgoyne commented on Mike Bristol's blog post Finished my 3D printed Quad"Looks great! Just curious, what kind of 3D printer are you using?"
Mike Bristol commented on Mike Bristol's blog post Finished my 3D printed Quad"Thanks everyone! Noth, I have thought about cleaning it up a bit more, esc are included. One of the biggest problems is printing with overhangs and since to top of the arm is what lies flat on the plate this might be tricky. Haven't…"
Henry ND commented on Mike Bristol's blog post Finished my 3D printed Quad"Sweet! It looks a bit like a DJI F450. How does it compare in size and weight? and do the arms still flex? (if so what, how much weight can it carry?) "
YangQuan Chen commented on Mike Bristol's blog post Finished my 3D printed Quad"Thanks for showing what we wanted to do! Impressive. Any worry on the strength aspect?"
Flying Monkey commented on Mike Bristol's blog post Finished my 3D printed Quad"Awesome work man!! Love to see what you come up with next :D"
Noth666 commented on Mike Bristol's blog post Finished my 3D printed Quad"Very nice! Would be cool if you took the clean look further hiding the escs in a recess or some such, but def looks better than most kits out there."

Mike Bristol replied to Mike Bristol's discussion 3D Printed Quadcopter Update in the group 3D Printing Drone Parts"Peter, thanks!
1.) It is a little hard right now to calculate the material cost. I need to look into finding a material calculator, there must be one online somewhere? The frame I have printed uses 3 different colors so estimating is a…"
Peter Meister replied to Mike Bristol's discussion 3D Printed Quadcopter Update in the group 3D Printing Drone Parts"Mike, the frame looks great.
A few questions !!!
1.) How much do you think the material cost was for all parts filament wise ?
2.) How stiff are the arms and main plates ?
3.) Is there a dampener for the GoPro Mount, grommets etc....to dampen…"

3D Printed Quadcopter Update
Hey everyone. I've updated my design for my 3D printed quad. Changed up a couple things aesthetically, and designed a GoPro mount. There is a lot more I want to change. Such as a canopy over the electronics, an area for a battery strap and some FPV specific stuff. Right now I'm just working on getting this one flying but it is kind of hard to get motivated with how cold it is outside. As always any ideas are greatly appreciated. …See More
Mike Bristol replied to Ellison Chan's discussion My Latest 3D Printed Hexa Flyer in the group 3D Printing Drone Parts"100% fill? Damn that must take forever. Do you really need that much structure? I'm printing my arms at 10% and even though ill probably go with 25% I'm pretty sure they will be fine. The bit of flex might (or might…"

I finally had a bit of time to work on my quad project. I think Im nearly finished with the top and bottom plate and I'm printing out the GoPro tilt mount as I type this. The project is coming along and I'm excited to put it in the air soon. Here are some Sketchup pics of my mockup file and the test…

I finally received my Makerbot Replicator (makerbot.com) and I am VERY impressed. After printing a handful of objects off of Thingiverse and dialing in my printer I promptly began work on my version of 3D printed quadcopter. I had a fair bit of practice using Google Sketchup from time is spent designing a…
