Hey Instructables!

Sorry I haven't been active lately, I've been busy applying for colleges and school stuff

Recently, I purchased a parrot mini-drone (I recommend).

Seeing its quadratic structure, I pondered whether or not I could create a platform so I could transport light objects from on area to another. In this tutorial, I'll give you the step by step in how I did such.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Materials Needed:

1 Drone (preferably a mini)

3D Printing pen

Plastic Fillings for pen (color doesn't matter)

Sketch paper

Black Marker

Ruler

How to use a 3-D Printing Pen:

Let the pen heat up, following the instructions of how to load it from the box.

To draw accurately, I suggest using the fast setting but draw slowly; which allows a thick line for a better structure.

Step 2: Take Measurements

Using your ruler, take measurements of your drone

Measure it directly across the body diagonally and horizontally, whilst also locating the center.

Step 3: Body

Using your measurements, draw out the body

For my drone, I made each leg 7 inches long, so it would be in the middle, between the diagonal and horizontal measurements. In height, each propeller is 1 inch. For the center circle, I placed the center of the circle on the halfway point and drew a .5 diameter circle to represent the center

Step 4: Create the Stands

After creating the body, I drew out a 1 inch in height and base triangle. Drawing them in pairs, I then connected them by the longest side.

Each stand was placed 1.5 inches away from the bodies end-points. To provide more support, I connected the side intermittently with plastic to provide structure.
