Before they were in best buy, people just printed their own. So you could make one, lots of plans online.
The world record for fastest drone just got broken yesterday, and it was a fully 3d printed drone.
Really? They 3D printed a battery and camera and ESC?
Yup. 3d printed user and printer too.
Yep.
I guess ESCs, motors and rotors are the only parts that are so specific to be hard to source otherwise.
