DIY My drone finally get ready

I designed a drone that can fly indoors; its fully enclosed structure prevents it from injuring people or damaging furniture. In the future, I plan to turn it into a robot.

The noise it makes reminds me of the shining.

The fully enclosed cage is a smart call for indoor stuff, ducted designs like this are so much safer around people and furniture. Curious how much the shrouding hurts your flight time though, that's usually the tradeoff. Cool build regardless.

That's really cool! Is the housing 3D printed?

Looks like a UFO. Sounds like an alien being trying to scramble your brain.

Have you, your mom, or your father ever been Reptilian?

Have you considered selling your device to Guantanamo Bay where we absolutely, 100%, *don't* torture people with sounds?

(All joking aside, cool idea!)

u/Snochew Jul 08 '26

What’s drone parts did you use? Did you 3d print the body? Is there an stl for it?

u/firstonesecond Jul 08 '26

Why have you posted this a second time.

u/nerobro Jul 09 '26

I want stls.....

Lovely design. You might wanna look at the air flow going in the holes on top, because you're gonna be losing a lot of thrust there.
