Nicely done. I actually used a similar technique on the wing for my weed crow to produce 0.5m pieces of wing (flying on the video you last commented on). The cheapest foam (EPO) is the best so far since it is verry light an can be made gradually stronger with wood and tape. Making wings like this is really adictive because one can produce these wonderfull, perfect shapes (or maybe it is the foam fumes). I have so many wings and pieces lying around... . Looking forward to see some more of this from you.
Are you sure a E string would get heated enough to cut foam?And also which E string:the thinner one or the thicker one?I think it should be the thinner one.
So, I guess that... the answer to the winglets wing tips printing is??....... I hope I'm not becoming a pest I just don't want to spend about 300 in a new FX-79 when I already have two X-8 Skywakers... that is all! If you want to I can send you a link to my build up.. that since the new FAA rulings I have make all my videos private!
Frank R. Pilot I don't right now sorry. I may change my ways but my mission so far is to inspire people to try things from scratch rather than make instructions.
This video uses white insulation foam, which is the kind made from little foam balls pressed together, formally called expanded polystyrene (EPS). The blue and pink stuff is extruded polystyrene (XPS)
@@pikachu.922 that's like telling a cook "be careful with the knives, you won't cut yourself". Yes, being very cautious will work but ultimately you're going to get hurt no matter how careful you are (especially when you get used to the situation).
@@pikachu.922 I know I'm just some random dude on the internet telling you not to fry yourself with mains electricity but just use a computer/monitor power supply and some nichrome wire. I built my own hot wire cutter for like 12 bucks. Already had two power supplies and brought 20 meters of two different nichrome wire gauges. That will last for life and I know I won't end up in the electricians' Darwin Awards.
