18 | Sunday One Day Build: Quick and Easy Wall Mount Drone Organizer ASMR

I have a few drones (DJI Mavic, Mini, FPV). They were sitting in a pile of tangled cables and propellers on a desk. Drones look cool. They look like futuristic insects. They deserve to be displayed.

I decided to build a Hybrid Wall Organizer.

• Base: Wood (Warmth).
• Mounts: 3D Printed (Precision).

The Design

I wanted a vertical board that hangs on the wall. The drones would hang vertically, wings folded, ready to grab. The batteries and chargers would live on a shelf at the bottom.

Material & Tools

• Plywood: 1/2" Baltic Birch for the backboard.
• 3D Printer: To print the custom hooks.
• Router: To cut cable channels.

The Build Process

Step 1: The Backboard

I cut a piece of plywood 24" wide x 36" tall. I edge-banded the plywood with iron-on veneer to hide the layers. I stained it a light grey to make the white drones pop.

Step 2: 3D Printing Mounts

I designed hook brackets in Fusion 360.

• Shape: They cradle the drone body perfectly.
• Material: Printed in PETG (stronger than PLA).
• Color: Orange (for contrast).

Step 3: Cable Management (The Secret)

I didn't want messy wires.

1. I laid out where the charger bricks would go.
2. I used a router to cut channels in the back of the board.
3. I buried the wires in the channels and hot-glued them in place.
4. The only thing sticking out is the little charging plug.

Step 4: Assembly

I screwed the 3D printed mounts to the board. I added a small shelf at the bottom for the controllers and spare props.

Conclusion

It looks like an armory from a sci-fi movie.

• Grab and Go: I can see which batteries are charged (lights are visible).
• Safety: They are up high, away from the kids/cat.
• Aesthetic: It turns clutter into art.
