Three-dimensional printing is the most commonly used method for producing customized or mock-up products for industrial applications. In particular, aviation devices for drones usually require a high spatial resolution to satisfy the small size requirement. In practical applications of drones, the two main tasks are inspection and detection. However, the working environment is often filled with flammable gases, such as natural gas or petroleum gas. Thus, the parts of drones that can easily produce an electrical spark, such as electronic connectors, should be specially protected. In this study, atmosphere control was applied to enhance the printing performance and manufacture of anti-explosion devices. The results demonstrate that atmosphere control can efficiently improve the print quality and that the print resolution of a commercial 3D printer can be enhanced to reach the mm scale. In the anti-pressure testing via a high-pressure smoke experiment, the manufactured anti-explosion devices for drones showed an appropriate intrinsic safety level, suggesting that they can be used in drones used for daily inspections of pipelines in petrochemical plants. The two main contributions of this study are the development of a practical method for improving FDM 3D printers and an anti-explosion device for drones.
