A few weeks back, a friend asked me to print him a frame so he could build a new quadcopter. After completing the parts for his vehicle, I was intrigued and decided to build my own as well. All of the 3d printed parts were downloaded from the Hovership MHQ build on Thingiverse and then parts that couldn't be printed (motors, blades, electronics, etc.) were ordered. I just finished assembly earlier this week and was able to get a successful test flight in.

Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures of the 3d printed parts before assembly, but this is what the arms looked like when they were printed:


Lower frame, landing legs and motor arms attached with hardware:


Fully assembled Hovership (minus the non-printable bits):


Finally, here's the completed Hovership:



Here's some video of the first flight (really flight #6 or so, but this is the first flight that didn't end in a crash that also lasted more than 10 seconds):



I have also posted a full build log on my blog along with a bill of materials for anyone who is starting from nothing like I was and is looking for a complete parts list:
