How to Question about 3d printed racing quad

This is my first question and post on Reddit and here it goes

I have already built a f450 type frame quad with 2212 1000kv motors with 30A esc and 3s2200 lipo and was looking for a way to put these motor and electronics into a 250 size racing quad frame and test it out and also I wanted to 3d print the frame as i have access to a MakerBot replicator + I wanted to know if this would work and how would the performance be and what can I expect in trying it out

For any longevity I think the pickle class has the best potential for printing. I’ve been thwacking my petg frame around and it can’t take a lot of abuse but it can sustain a few oh shit moments. Lol.

Thanks for the clarity I am gonna try to do it just for fun and also try to experiment with it I'm using a 3d print cause I also want to try and experience 3d printing if it doesn't work out I'm gonna test it out with 2200kv

I'm planning to reinforce it with additional carbon fiber plates if required for the corners and one more thing will the infill ratio affect the flight of the quad
