The Future of drone building and repair

A lot of times people would browse websites and see various drones for sale. However with more affordable 3d printers it is now possible to make your own replacement parts. So this calls for a more modular design of the drones with upgrades in the future. Essentially there will be a demand for electronic drone kits and battery packs. Where as most plastic parts will most likely be printed by the users themselves. While most of us maybe happy with the 50$ drone that they bought at a computer store, after the novelty wears off the user will want to make the drone useful, this is where modular design comes in. Some people want a good camera, gps, flashlight, or even a package delivery. 

It would be great if drones could have more uses outside of photography. Which is what is happening today. Although due to the cost associated with building a more heavy duty drone, this proves a slight hindrance to the popularization of drones.

Essentially all drones should start out with a very basic skeleton and as time progresses and the users finds out what they really need. Since today not a lot of people know what they might do with the drone by simply browsing its capabilities on the internet since it is still quite new for the average consumer.

After the skeleton of the drone is build or bought then it is a matter of simply waiting for parts to get cheaper or software upgrades that enable more features.
