Show HN: I made a 3D printed VTOL drone

I made a 3D printed VTOL drone operates in show hn launch.

Profile

I made this 130 mile capable VTOL drone in only 90 days. It can fly for 3 hours on a single charge. That would make it one of the longest range and endurance 3D printed VTOLs in the world.This is the thing I'm most proud of building to date!Before this project, I was a total CAD, 3D printing and aerodynamic modeling beginner. I had only built and flown one VTOL before.SPECSWingspan: 3.9 ft (1200 mm) Length: 2.5 ft (770 mm) Weight: 5.6 lb (2.55kg)Airframe: foaming PLA (Bambu PLA-Aero) and PETG structural parts printed on A1 printer, CFRP booms and sparsBattery: Li-ion silicon anode Amprius SA08 cells, 6s2p pack by Upgrade Energy Motors: 2807 AOS for lift and cruise (unoptimized) Lifting ESCs:

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
