    Awesome video! Longtime watcher, first time commenter here. Polypropylene is an awesome material for flexible applications, but the other huge part of designing something that is flexible in the right ways and rigid where necessary is the geometry. If you know how the frame is most likely going to be loaded during a crash, then you can adjust the geometry and get all the behavior you're looking for, even with materials that might not seem flexible at first. There are examples of metal devices that are designed to be flexible. Some great resources are the video "Machines That Bend Are Better" by Veritasium and the books "Compliant Mechanisms" and "Handbook of Compliant Mechanisms" by Howell. I'm currently taking a university course from Howell and it's really good stuff. Edit: Apparently I haven't watched quite enough of your videos, because I just got recommended your 3D printed compliant vectoring mechanism video. So you're definitely aware of the resources I mentioned. *Facepalm*

Don´t you think it is time that you put an affiliate link for that filament in the description? I mean you deserved it if anyone does deserve to make a few pennies from that. Great work and great video. You had me laughing out loud several times throughout the video. Nicely edited. Keep it up.

Also those signature quotes, "I know I look like a PRO, but don't be dis-encouraged, if you can't crash like this, it take years of training" "A taste of impact strength" "Our chances are slim, hmm non existent". Thanks for the chuckles.

    I use 0.065" weedwacker trimmer line for my source of cheap bulk Nylon filament. For Nylon I also recommend "rehydrating" the nylon, since printing evaporates the moisture in the filament. After a print I submerge my prints in hot tap water for about an hour. This should solve your issue with brittle nylon. Dry it off, and use. Great idea. I might try it myself.

  • @domowysurvival
    @domowysurvival4 жыл бұрын

    The composite idea (using two different filaments) was pretty good, I think, maybe you should try to make some kind of inserts from one material to the frame made of another material. Like carbon fiber rod in a fixed wing of an airplane. You could even introduce steel rods to the drone's arms by melting the plastic a bit and just putting it, like a stick in a wet concrete.
