This was my first drone and first experience designing for printing

I designed it to be modular in case a wing broke when I crashed

Which it inevitably crashed and broke at the (in retrospect) obvious place

The next body design was me realizing that 3d printing is its own kind of space frame, and there was no requirement to make cut-outs for weight, instead it is better to tune that with printing parameters

Additionally long thin segments are best done with a material other than PLA.

And inevitably… this also crashed.

You can see tape on the back, this was an attempt to retain orientation. It was unfortunately symmetric. I ended up adding some LEDs off of the BEC in order to make the orientation more apparent at a distance.
