Hello, I want to ask how should I set the orca slicer so that it also prints the internal reinforcement of the plane. I only have a shell without reinforcement.
In my previous planes the engine was slightly angled. Should it be like that here too? How do I achieve that? Besides the holes don't match any engine...
I absolutely love your planes, but my only complaint is trying to find build videos and build guides is like having to go on a treasure hunt to find anything. Any chance you could work on designing a Cessna 337?
It would be nice if you zoomed in on the details and explained more what you are doing. Fastening a screw behind the fuselage isn’t really informative. Details matter.
At the end it says: proceed with flight video. Which isn't there as far as I can see. Unless this DC3 one is meant: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uY1qIBsFUb0.htmlsi=Gpl1lYt8fpUkvkMM
I wouldn't advise to use filament to strengthen the wing. A friend of mine did (with a 3Dprintlab cub), and the wings snapped in flight. Better use 1,5mm carbon rod, as also advised in the manual. It gives a lot more strength, without hardly adding weight.
Hi, started printing this myself and got great results, There's better instructions on how to print on their website but basically to make the top and bottom open the top and bottom shell layers have to be set to zero. Aside from that, infill must be set to 0%, and the slicing mode should be set to even-odd, (among a bunch of other smaller tweaks.)
I am currently printing and building this A-10. Your polylite is exquisite lightweight PLA! Absolutely the best plastic material I have ever printed with. The aircraft is coming along perfectly.
Ive been printing this, and honestly its amazing. I accidentaly screwed up 2 prints (Somehow my filament got switched and it came out bad). Im printing on a Prusa Mk4, with thir 3mf files, its upload and print. Amazing quality on the actual model itself, but truly superb on the print settings they include. Now, about my request for a B1 :)
The "fork" for the wheel look upside down in the manual drawing, but the photo matches the video. The flat spots at the end of top end of the fork fit into the retract housing.
3d lab print. I was wondering why my models are twice as heavy as they should be, can you help answer that. I’m using Prusa slicer, my internal walls are too heavy
From Prusa Slicer, are you doing a File, Open Project for a selected .3mf file? If so, all your settings should be ok and, after slicing, the projected weight should be close to what is posted in the manual. Each of the Printer, Filament, and Print profiles should be loaded and have the right settings.
At about 1 minute we see screws going into the wing... to hold the wing on??? There are no screw holes and these screws are just going into LW-PLA... there is nothing for the screws to go into. Nowhere is there any mention of holding the wing on with screws. Is this an oversight... something missed in the design? The wing will not hold with simple screws going through 2 single walls of LW-PLA. Yikes.
People complaining about the design ... what the ?? This is amazing work and quite unbelievable that these can be printed in your own home ... certainly some useful mods would be a wing spar option for transportation although i imagine that coupd lead to ussues with aileron and gear cables , i wonder if in the future a micro speaker can be added to blair out some merlin sounds as the rpms rise and fall ❤😅😅
Sound module like this ... the printed surface should also act as a great amplifier ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SPCYBXZDKzo.htmlsi=mT1gMbYXaI__v_BM
For the black PLA nozzle I needed to print it at 99% to fit correctly. Not sure if my LWPLA shrinks slightly or if the PLA is overextending or something else going on.
How do you change motors if one fails? Is there access to the mounting nuts behind the cowling? Also are the motors you are installing in the the video better than the longer motors in the instructions? Do the longer motors stick out of the cowling?
Škoda, že ti Paťásku není vůbec rozumět.....len občasné zamručení....ty rozměry komponent by bylo super dát do grafiky videa....některé míry jsem nezachytil.....
Would be cool, if you can design your fuselages with the mind of flight controller installation. So, having a sort of podium / mount inside to instal boards like SpeedyBee F405 WING. I know...😉 using flight controller is sort of cheating 😇 but those boards make flying experience much more comfortable... For the real RC nurds board can be used in Acro mode anyway 😉
i literally made a comment on a different video saying it would be amazing if you guys made a dc3 and then you did. I will definetly be making this after the cessna
Getting better and more detailed with every model you guys design, only thing missing is LEDs, keep that in mind as an option, keep up the good work, greetings from Miami!
Great video, thanks. It looks like it would be possible to position the motor wrong... that that correct? It seems that you'd need to be very careful to get the position just right... which is usually a problem when the CA is drying quickly. Not only with up or down thrust but also how far in or out.
Thanks for the videos... very helpful. I wanted to let you know that the link for the retracts in the manual is pointing to 25g Retracts, not the 40g Retracts.
It's generally known as "Kicker" - it's a CA Accelerator and comes in aerosol or pump spray. It's sets the CA instantly. As you can see in all the build videos it also turn the CA cloudy or white. I use it very sparingly. CA sets up on LW-PLA fairly quickly... sometimes too quickly, but I do use Kicker on occasion.
Now if we just had an appropriate sized C-47 to tow it with...... It looks really good. Are the rubber bands used because its meant to be for beginners? Does it, or could it be built, with a bolt on wing? Im a little concerned that over the time of even a single flight all that tension with any warm weather will start to pull the wing saddle area together. At the very least i would guess the airfoil at the wing root is going to be cut into eventually. I will build one of these. I may use some very thin plywood around the wing and probably on the wing saddle if i use rubber bands. That seems like a good way to go. Nice job, the details look amazing as usual. The removable nose is a nice touch as well.
