Drone Project 7”

3D Printed FPV Drone Project – Custom Remix by HueMatrix 3D



At HueMatrix 3D, I’m always exploring what’s possible with FFF printing—and this drone project is a perfect example of how far you can push it.


This build started with a fantastic open-source design by PecaJosef on MakerWorld. Originally a 3.5” printable drone frame, I saw the potential to take it further—so I scaled it up, customized it, and made it fly with serious power.





🔧 What I Modified:



  • Scaled 2x – The entire frame was doubled in size to support 7” props and larger components.
  • Battery Box Added – A clean integrated battery bay was added for a secure fit and streamlined top mount.
  • Flight Controller Mount Relocation – I shifted the FC mount to suit a new internal layout, keeping the wiring clean and balanced.
  • Motor Mounts Redesigned – Raised and reshaped to handle X2812 1115KV motors, allowing for increased thrust and a robust flight profile.
  • Camera Mount Reworked – Adjusted to scale and positioned to better support common FPV camera sizes.






🖨 Printed on a Prusa XL



This entire frame was printed on my Original Prusa XL with multi-toolhead capabilities. Using strong, vibrant Prusament PC blend filament and smart supports, that failed because the PC started to warp, most likely a moisture issue, despite this the final result came out beautifully durable and highly functional.

Fresh off the bed — rough support removal phase, but structurally sound.





🛠 Fully Built and Flying



Once assembled, this drone not only looked aggressive and futuristic, but flew solidly with a full electronics suite, including:


  • High-performance ESC and FC stack (SpeedyBee F405 v4 60A ESC)
  • X2812-1115kv motors
  • FOXEER HD FPV camera
  • Top-mounted LiPo for balanced flight dynamics


Ready for action – the finished build.





Why This Project Matters



This isn’t a commercial product—just a personal exploration of how far you can push FFF printing in functional, high-performance use cases. It’s proof that with the right printer, materials, and design knowledge, you can bring almost anything to life—from frame to flight.


If you’re a maker, builder, or drone enthusiast, this kind of project is an exciting glimpse at the future of hobby-grade manufacturing.
