This 3D printed drone packs a massive amount of power into a compact CAD designed frame. It wouldn’t go too far to call this a flying battery, as it boasts as 130 Watt battery capacity to power the drone. This battery is three times as powerful as a convention dji battery pack and will give you approximately 40-50 minutes of flying time with up to a 10 mile range.

Using 22mm brushless motor with 7” tri-blade propellers, it is driven with latest SpeedyBee V3 F7 Flight stack. If you would like to create this 3D printed drone yourself, you can 3D print the drone main body and lid with the STL CAD design files provided below as well as order the parts below to follow along with the assembly.
