The truth is that you can 3D print those frames from almost any rigid enough filament. My first designs were printed from simple PETG, and they were flying fine, just requiring a bit of running to deal with the vibrations. I suspect that PLA would work as well as long as you don't crash or overheat any component. But PLA can soften by simply being exposed to sun, so I wouldn't risk it. My go to filaments would be Carbon PETG or as I said in the video Carbon Fiber Nylon PA12. The letter one is super impressive. During the competition we built a functional slingshot to launch my drones, and let’s just say the first few shots were not successful. But the little 3D printed drone took the beating without any structural damage. I bet if it was something more brittle like PLA it would break on first impact. Also I was surprised to find out that the Carbon PA12 frame was 5 grams lighter than the CNC cut pure Carbon Fiber. The carbon fiber is of course more durable, but I cannot say any bad wor
