We go home, and they rustle.

Ми йдем додому, а вони шуршать.

"200,000 units are ready, with a million more well on the way"
Anybody got a .stl and a bill of materials?
Wouldn't the production bottlenecks be non-3D printable components like the PCBs for the Flight Controller and the Electronic Speed Control Stack? Those aren't things you can just whip together in a garage.
- Injection molding is capital intensive and generally geographically concentrated (i.e. factories). It makes for easy and expensive targets.
  3d printing can be distributed, and capable printers are amazingly cheap.
  There's way more to it, just pointing out one "pro" for 3dp
- "Thank you to our sponsor today, PCBWay." /s
Right bottom printer is slacking.
"Get back to work! These orcs aren't going to blow themselves up! Well, not all of them. Or...well...not at first, but they might after getting injured. Never mind. Just please get back to work."
