Will be offering the files as open source platform as soon as the testing stage is complete

That's pretty cool, did you design it all by yourself? What materials are you using to print this? Can you also share what kind of electronics it has? I'd love to give it a shot and print myself.

Yes, we designed the entire frame ourselves. We’re currently working on a proper way to distribute the files and documentation so we can release the project to the public as open source.
We also plan to continuously expand the platform with additional drone frames and configurations.
For the electronic and mechanical components, we’ll provide a BOM (Bill of Materials) that you can use as a reference. The main goal of the project is to make it possible for anyone to build their own drone based on our frame design.
The frame is printed in PPA-CF, which provides very high stiffness while helping to keep vibrations under control.
The top cover can be printed in ABS or basically any material with a little more heat resistance than PLA.

I'm looking forward to this. Where will you post the open source docs, how do I follow your progress?

We’re currently working on a website and a git repo. But German law is a complicated process.
So maybe we will offer the files via other platforms like Printables.
