"Golfball" V2 Teal Sport Drone

thingiverse

Racing drones arent just about fun, its a serious sport. So the goal with an 3d printer should be to improve the drone. Its easy and cheap to build several parts to experiment and get the best out of the drone. My goal was a cover to improve the flight behavior. The cover i made is based on the concept of a golfball. The plan is to reduce the air turbulence. One of many experimental possibilities with an 3d printer. Edit: Version 2 I got told, that im not the first one with the Golfball idea. So i had to make some changes. Now im more convinced about the capabilities of an 3D printer for developing parts for the Teal Drone Sport. Its always possible to improve his concept and doesnt take much time to implement his idea to a finished part. The improved cover is still based on the Golfball concept. But now there little walls around the rotors to prevent the airflow of each rotor to disturb the neighboring one. So the air of the rotor can better flow. And the outer airstream can still flow over the golfball dots. Another importent think is to print it with a very low filling percentage to get a lower mass. Even with a thin outer wall it should be stable enouth, the dots accomplish the stability. This is another advantage of 3D printing, you can build lightweight parts.
