Earlier quoted context omitted.
So, ~$2000 USD? Why not just say that?
Variability of price for the Amprius pack, anything from $700-$1350 at four price points.
Yeah, can just take the max, like you did with the range calc.

#42Have you released the BOM/STLs anywhere?

#43Very cool. Very impressive. I hope it inspires other to build things they're passionate about. "You can just do things. And learn things." No need to wait for permission, or classwork (much less a degree), or a guide/teacher.

#45Congratulations this is really fantastic and quite inspiring!
Thank you!

#46This is incredibly impressive. I'd love to hear more about what relevant skills & knowledge you started with, and how you worked out what you'd need to know to complete the project.
How much customisation did you need to make to Ardupilot? Is your drone's control unique, or somehow standardised?

#48How far can it be remote controlled?

#49This is the first I've heard of foaming PLA, definitely have to check that out.
Did you do the whole airplane with a small printer like the A1 / A1 mini? I would love to print airfoils but I'm struggling to imagine a way to link individual prints together in a way that preserves stiffness. My 100cm wing would need 10x (10x10cm) printed parts somehow attached to one another.
Until I figure this out it's foamboard building for the type of airplanes I want to build (glider)
