Introducing the Nano3LRG, a compact 3D printed drone designed for long-range flights. With a weight of around 100g and a 1S Li-ion battery, it offers approximately 20 minutes of flight time. The drone features a customizable 3D-printed frame and powerful brushless motors for stability and precise control. Equipped with GPS, a magnetometer, and a barometer, it is well-suited for long-range flights, providing accurate positioning, orientation, and altitude control. The Nano3LRG is an ideal choice for aerial enthusiasts seeking a lightweight and versatile drone for extended flights.

Based on my experience, my recommendation would be to use ABS for printing the drone. ABS’s UV resistance and added stability in crash situations make it a suitable choice. However, please keep in mind that PLA is also a viable option due to its hardness and ease of printing. Ultimately, the choice depends on your specific requirements and preferences.
I used Cura 5.2.2 as my slicing software for the printing process.
Important! Union Overlapping Volumes must be set!
