Zusammenfassung:	A method and system of printable payload extensions of a quadcopter are disclosed. In one aspect, a quadcopter includes an airframe and a central portion of the airframe having at least one of an upper extender mechanism and a lower extender mechanism. The central portion includes a connection means that enables users of the quadcopter to design payload extensions that mechanically couple with the quadcopter using a three-dimensional (3D) printing device in conformance with the connection means as long as the payload extensions have a weight less than a maximum payload capacity of the quadcopter. The connection means to couple any of a set of payload extensions including a hook assembly, an interlocking building block platform assembly, a DSLR camera assembly, a HD camera assembly, and a container assembly through the central portion of the airframe.
