Devlog – Day 6
Date: August 1, 2026
Time Worked: 2 hours 46 minutes
Today I made major progress on the CAD design of my drone project. I completed the drone frame design and brought the custom controller design close to completion. I also built a complete CAD assembly of the frame, including proxy M3 screws, which allowed me to visualize how all the components fit together before manufacturing.
Creating the full assembly helped me identify several clearance, alignment, and mounting issues that were difficult to notice while designing the individual parts. I corrected these problems in the CAD model, reducing the likelihood of print failures and unnecessary redesigns later. I also designed the landing legs, completing the frame’s structural layout.
Next Steps
- Finish the remaining controller CAD design.
- Perform a final review of the complete assembly.

Looks nice! Is it 3DP mainly? If so I think that once you have the wiring done for the motors, it might be nice to have clips on the motor arms to fasten the wires down.
Not gonna lie I was just going to use tape to fasten the wires to the arm but now that I think about it tape will come of to easily. Thank you for your suggestion I will for sure look into that.
