3D-Printed Star Wars X-Wing Drone Takes Flight at 134 MPH
SMRTR summary
German engineer Luis created a 3D-printed Star Wars X-wing drone capable of reaching 134 mph after six iterations and numerous crashes. The project overcame significant aerodynamic challenges by combining 3D-printed body panels with carbon fiber arms, placing motors on wingtips rather than near the body for authenticity. Using a Bambu Lab printer for rapid prototyping, Luis successfully balanced the iconic X-wing design with structural integrity needed for high-speed flight, sharing blueprints for others to build.
