A while ago Taylor Alexander 3D printed fully functionaly rotor blades on his Ultimaker for his RC-helicopter. This time, another amazing accomplishment was made, which is supplementary… the “PL1Q Vampire, the 3d printed quadcopter”. Its total weight is just 231.6 g at it is pretty strong, printed out of PLA plastic.
The files for this ‘thing’ can be downloaded here!

Make sure to watch Peter’s other video’s too.
Do you know why I’m so excited about what we’re doing with Ultimaker?!
These kinds of responses REALLY get me up early in the morning and enjoy the long ride to our new Ultimaking Headquarters:
RepRap has profoundly changed my life. With Ultimaker, the team and I want to give access to this same experience to as many people around the world as we can! After PC’s have changed our lives so pervasively, the power of Personal Fabrication has just been unleashed!
Thanks, Peter from Sweden! You made my day!

Nice printing quality. Well done !!
Just want to know how much time spent on calibrating to get this speed and quality thanks.
This is very near the top of my print list! Very very cool. Updated version here http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:19161
Also, since the post links to the printable blades for a RC helicopter – can I print the blades for the quad? that surely has to be the next step!
