The RC and drone community in Utah is massive — from desert crawlers and trail bashers to FPV racing quads and aerial photography rigs. And 3D printing has become essential for the hobby. Whether you need a replacement bumper, a custom camera mount, or a full drone frame, Forgely Roy can print it.
Why 3D Print RC & Drone Parts?
- Speed — get a replacement part same-day instead of waiting for shipping
- Customization — design mounts, brackets, and enclosures specific to your build
- Cost — printing a bumper or skid plate costs a fraction of buying a brand-name replacement
- Iteration — test designs quickly, break them, refine, and reprint
Best Materials for RC & Drone Parts
PLA — Prototyping & Light-Duty Parts
Great for brackets, mounts, and parts that don't take direct impact. Easy to print, dimensionally accurate, and available in 30+ colors at Forgely Roy. Not ideal for high-impact or high-heat applications.
PETG — The All-Rounder
More impact-resistant than PLA with better temperature tolerance. Good for motor mounts, battery trays, and anything that might take moderate stress. Prints nearly as easily as PLA on most printers.
TPU — Flexible & Impact-Absorbing
Perfect for bumpers, landing gear, antenna mounts, and anything that needs to absorb impacts without cracking. TPU is flexible and nearly indestructible — the go-to material for FPV drone protection. See our TPU printing guide for tips.
Nylon / Carbon Fiber — Maximum Strength
For structural drone frames, high-load RC chassis parts, and competition-grade components. Carbon fiber nylon is incredibly stiff and light. Requires a hardened steel nozzle and enclosed printer for best results.
Popular RC & Drone Prints
- FPV drone frames (5", 3", and micro class)
- GoPro / action camera mounts (adjustable angle, vibration-dampened)
- RC car bumpers, skid plates, and body mounts
- Battery straps, trays, and anti-slip pads (TPU)
- Antenna holders, receiver mounts, and VTX mounts
- Custom RC truck bed covers and scale accessories
- Propeller guards and motor protectors
- Landing gear and extended legs for photography drones
Bring Your Design or We'll Help
If you have an STL file from Thingiverse, Printables, or your own CAD work, bring it in on a USB drive or submit a quote online. If you know what you need but don't have a design, we can help source or create one. Many common RC and drone parts are already available as free models online — we can help you find the right one.
Utah RC & Drone Community
Weber and Davis County have active RC and drone communities with clubs, race events, and flying fields. If you're building or repairing a rig, Forgely Roy is the fastest way to get custom parts without waiting on shipping. We see RC builders from Roy, Ogden, Layton, Clearfield, and across northern Utah every week.
