CAPABILITIES

What we print for drone and UAV teams

San Diego has one of the densest UAV/FPV scenes in the country — defense, biotech aerial imaging, freestyle, and long-range. We print for all of them.

FPV frames with carbon-fiber nylon

PA6-CF and PET-CF frames absorb motor heat soak without warping. We print freestyle, long-range, cinewhoop, and ducted frames in the San Diego shop on our composite-capable FDM fleet.

Camera mounts and gimbals

Custom action-cam, GoPro, and DJI mounts — PET-CF for stiffness, TPU for vibration damping. We print replacement parts that cost less than off-the-shelf and fit better.

Payload enclosures and housings

Commercial UAV payload bays, antenna housings, FPV pod shells. PETG for weatherproof jobs, PC for impact-critical covers, PA6-CF for structural.

Landing gear and skids

Flex-tolerant TPU skids that take the abuse of rough landings. Swappable designs for platforms like DJI Matrice, Autel EVO, and custom commercial UAVs.

Motor mounts and arms

High-heat PA6-CF (180°C HDT) handles the temperatures motor mounts reach after long rips. Rush turnaround is 1-2 business days for local San Diego pilots.

No minimum — one frame or fifty

Dialing in a new frame design? Print one. Happy with the prototype? Print forty for your team. Every copy after the first costs less, and the price keeps falling with quantity.

MATERIALS

Materials we stock for drone work

Carbon-fiber composites and high-performance thermoplastics. Every material ships from our San Diego shop dry-stored and ready to print.

Drone 3D printing FAQ

Which 3D printing material is best for a drone frame?+
PET-CF is the sweet spot for most FPV and freestyle frames — stiff, low-warp, strong enough to survive crashes. PA6-CF is the premium pick when motor heat or load-bearing stress is extreme. TPU is perfect for vibration-damping mounts and flexible skids.
How much does it cost to print a 5" FPV frame?+
A 5" freestyle frame in PET-CF runs roughly $30–$50 depending on volume (100–150 cm³ typical), quality, and infill. PA6-CF is about 1.75× that. See /pricing for the exact math.
Do you print replacement arms for DJI / Autel drones?+
Yes — we routinely print replacement arms for consumer platforms when OEM parts are backordered or discontinued. Bring your own STL or send a photo + dimensions and our CAD team will model it.
How long does a drone frame take to print?+
Most 5" frames finish in 8–12 hours of print time. At standard turnaround you'll have it in 5-7 business days; rush (1-2 days) is available. Local San Diego pickup is free if you want it faster.
Can I pick up in San Diego?+
Yes. We're at 7950 Silverton Ave Ste 205, San Diego, CA 92126 — the Miramar / Mira Mesa area, right off 805. Local pickup is free and by arrangement during our pickup window (Monday–Friday, 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM PT).
