3D Printable buttons for Taranis X-9D - Review and Giveaway

Even though the Taranis X-9D is a super powerful radio, there are some issues with its durability. For me, the buttons fell out. Luckily, there are print files available on Thingiverse! These buttons are super quick to print, but because of their small size, they can be a little bit tricky to print.Instead of printing them hole side up, print the button head facing downward. This allows for the print to have more surface area to adhere to the build plate with. Also, Print these in smaller numbers. I found that the more I printed at one time, the more likely I was to encounter problems along the print.

3d Printable XT-60 battery caps for travel and storage

I 3d printed these XT-60 caps to travel, but it turns out that they are good for so much more! They take about 30 minutes to print, and they cost around 4 cents to manufacture, much cheaper than buying similar items from stores. The FAA says that if someone is going to travel with LIPOS on an airplane, they need to have something protecting the terminals from connecting on accident. This does the job perfectly. I used PLA 3d printing material in this project. MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT USING CONDUCTIVE FILAMENT!!!

I did not design this model, but you can find it here:

I took my Phantom 3 professional Whale watching!

This was one of the best trips of my life! Getting to see the whales was incredible. Some of the shots are tilted because the gimbal could not quite calibrate due to the rocking of the boat. Thanks to Caleb I was able to land flawlessly every single time. The whales we were tracking were grey whales migrating south for the mating season. In total, we saw 27 whales, but unfortunately, I was unable to find most of the whales because of glare and iPad failure. Still, some of the shots I was able to capture came out fantastic. Thanks for watching!

I am a little mad TBH. This was such a good ship!

Ammo cans are not the right way to store LIPOS!

Please take a look at this video before even considering putting your Lipos in a Harbor freight container!

How to do a DroneBase mission: Complete Guide!

Still getting used to being on camera ;D. Let me be clear on one thing: YOU NEED TO HAVE A FAA CFR 107 TO MAKE MONEY FLYING DRONES! Please get certified before flying for business. Drone base is a great way to make money doing what you love: Flying drones! I can typically make up to $50 an hour by flying multiple drone base missions an hour. In fact, the mission flown in this video was sold for $19! I was not compensated in any way to make this video, it's just a really cool tool that I use for a little bit of side cash.
