Question Help! FPV drone from 2023

Post image
22 Upvotes

Hey guys, I built this drone build back in early 2024 with some of my friends and used it 2-3 times. But, I can no longer use it for personal reasons and now it just sits in my house, I am no longer able or want to use it. I want to get rid of it because I know the batteries can be a fire hazard. I do not know how to dispose of it properly (i.e. what do I do with batteries).

Or maybe its better to sell it as it has the entire setup, and it's relativly new, but I know these products advance quickly (as in might not be up to spec with the latest builds).

Would you guys be able to advise me where to throw this away? Or if its worth selling, what website usally will accept resells of this kind of product/ usally does well in selling this stuff (based in UK)?

I basically copied this build off of youtube and here is a picture of all the stuff, I bought some VR glasses, controller and charger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaBlsTkxKIM

Appreciate any advice, thank you

Question Sensor confusion

Can I use this MTF-02P Optical flow sensor with my Speedybee F405 V5? I'm using Betaflight firmware. And the betaflight website says it is compatible with MTF-02 (no P at the end) [2nd image].

I'm asking this because MTF-02P is available to me right now. If the answer is NO, what would you recommend?

Question How to use these rubber legs?

Are these rubber legs used to hold the flight controller or to place the shock absorber(with taped fc) on the frame, also I think the plate with the larger center hole should be placed/tied to the frame and the other one with fc? Please clarify someone

Question Urgent question

I am using these materials for a university project. I am testing the setup using a laboratory power supply capable of up to 33V and 5.2A; in this test, I am using 9V at 2000 pulses, which results in the current (amperage) shown. However, the voltage is too low to achieve flight—even without propellers. What kind of battery should I use? Would a dual-battery setup be necessary, or what approach should I take?

Improved Design (I Hope)

I took the feedback from my post 2 days ago and did a few iterations. It turns out nopekit was only doing 2d topological analysis. I added a new 3d topological analysis pack and gave it permission to design something that requires supports in the printer and I think this is getting closer. I also added an analysis of different materials for printing which you can see in the image but is much easier to read here: https://neuman.github.io/PETGasusDrone/

What do you think, better? Worse?

Big thanks to u/potatocat , u/BiAsALongHorse , and u/BrokenByReddit for helpful feedback.
