I did printed helicopter blades three years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXlUSWrVzys

These other components look printable too. Right now I am making 3D printable robots that don't need any non-printed parts aside from motors, bearings, and drive belts (and batteries and electronics).

So these definitely should be printable at home.



That sounds cool, do you have any links to your projects?


Thanks! Currently I'm working on delivering Flutter Wireless, which is at www.FlutterWireless.com.

The 3D printed robots will be for some tutorials we will be launching. Other than that, I've been continually procrastinating about making a website for my personal projects, but I have a lot. If you dig through my youtube account at the original link, I have some other project videos there.

Notable ones are: The robot I made when I was in High School: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FJu1eL_dYs&list=UUxTluifYa_...

An app to interface with some cheap helicopter joysticks (and not shown - I could fly the heli with an app on my phone). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq2x3DVq7gs&list=UUxTluifYa_...

Not currently represented online are some of the robots I have made, the Tesla Coil I made when I was in High School, and the gas powered hovercraft I made in 8th grade. :)


Oh, I forgot I have a portfolio of machine parts online now too. http://www.tlalexander.com/files/portfolio.pdf
