Interesting, do you have some more info about how it works? When I make the battery larger, is it considering the weight of the battery? Weight of motors, props, etc?

Yes it's considering the weight of the battery, as well as the weight of the motors. It doesn't factor in the props, I didn't get around to that. The props have inaccurate geometry of course, which I'm looking to fix with a mesher.

Have a look at the console for how the geometric program is assembled.

Cool. I think this tool has a lot of potential users, especially if you can make it pick between commonly available props, esc, motors and so on. Imagine how cool this would be if it could make a list of those things and export a 3d-printable frame :)
