    I have no idea if this is a clever bypass around expensive commercial offerings, a clever waste of time that barely improves over doing it by hand, or somewhere in between, but it sure looks like a nice design and print.

      Yeah, definite neato factor but by eyeball at least I feel like I could do that bend by hand within a mm tolerance of this. Hard to imagine this precision is needed. Makes sense if mass producing these I guess.

        This is a workshop for combat FPV drones, so precision is extremely important.

        I make a lot of stuff and I don’t think I could bend it that precisely by hand. Also I would take much much longer.

        I think the black thing they show at the end is the usual tool to do it, this just looks like 20 extra needless steps.
