I have to say that although the STL files are free to download, it's prepared in professional way. I saw some commertional airplane 3D print data which did not reach such level of quality like this Hercules. Bravo TAHUSTVEDT!
The reason why I published this video was that I wanted to share some experiences with the build itself, since some important moments are not explicitly obvious from instruction given at Hercules' Cults3D website.
So I hope this video will be useful to other builders :)

Cool
Hi Libor, I've taken the plunge and started to print this today myself after being inspired by your videos. Thank you for all you've done.
I have a question. What nozzle did you use for all of the prints? Was is .4mm with Lw-pla? Also, how did you get the gaps in the fuselage 1 model at the very start of this vid? Did you cut them out yourself? The base on mine has come out completely filled in....
Hi James, thanks a lot for your comment and congrats to taking the plunge 🙂👍
I was using 0,4 mm nozzle for all, also for LW-PLA. Before using my brand of LW-PLA (particularly PolyLight 1.0 by 3DLabPrint) I spent quite some time with calibration of slicer. I ended with slicer setup with nozzle temp. 240°C, flow rate 0,6 and printing speed 60 mm/s. Such setup gives vase wall width 0,55 mm, which is in range recommended by 3DLabPrint for their PolyLight 1.0 filament.
Regarding the gaps you mentioned, I am not that much sure which gaps you mean. Do you mean the "notch" at the top/back part of Fuselage1 (used for centering "nose" on top/front part of Fuselage2)?
@libor-vitek this is amazing info, thank you so much!
The gaps I'm referring to are on fuselage 1 (cockpit and nose). Basically, the base layers when printing are solid with no gaps in them at all, just a completely solid circle. On your print, these have gaps in, one of those you cut out a notch to put the wire through for the wheel steering?
@@Spunge1984 Oh, as the gaps you mean the free inner spaces at the base of Fuselage01 part, if I am not wrong.
Please check this video, hopefully it will be helpful for you: ua-cam.com/video/OBHTrx2cFuQ/v-deo.html
Morning Libor, hope you're well and progressing well.
I've a question on the prop's you're using. What size are they. Apologies if this is listed somewhere on one of your videos, however i've looked through them and can't find anything.
@@Spunge1984 Hi James,
author of this 3D model offers props for 3D printing (STL files starting with syntax "Propeller" in file name), nevertheless I did not want to risk a damage of 3D printed props during flight (which might cause crash), so I bought HQProp 5x4x6 Light Grey www.6sfull.cz/hqprop-5x4x6-light-grey/
Originally I wanted to get some 4-blade 5" props, but it was tricky to find such props to me, but I liked the look of 6-blade ones, so I ordered those 😉
Sorry i have to ask! How did u Print the Nosewheels? That are not the Wheesl from the original file.
Hi, nose wheels are not printed, but bought off the shelf 😉
