Axiom 250 Quadcopter by jsnodgrass

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Axiom is a quadcopter focused on three things: Durability, safety, and modularity. The interlocking shroud design is safer to fly, easy to print and the 250 mm quad size works on most printers. If you are a STEM educator, Axiom would make a great project for your classroom. It teaches important concepts in physics, engineering, and even computer programming while engaging students in the exciting fields of drones and 3D printing.
