Im working on a 1.7th scale F-84F Thunderstreak with 120mm EDF. I designed it in CAD and 3d printing the parts. Just a little concerned about strength..but yours seems to be fine.
Love the inverted V tail. I've built four or five RC models with that tail design, also I started an experimental full size. I built molds for the fuselage and I have one on the gear hopefully I'll be able to finish it the next couple of years
I’m really looking to work on a 3D printed drone for a summer project. Just wondering, do you think it’s best to just find files already online and use them for my first try? Or should I try doing everything myself (modeling parts and such)? I’m just getting into 3D printing so my experience is pretty small with everything that’s involved. I’m just trying to figure out a good starting point for my first project attempt. Thanks!
definitely find a proven model online before attempting your own. success in your own design will come much easier if you learn some techniques from existing models. one of the biggest reasons for failure i see when people design their own aircraft is neglecting learning and implementing proven design strategies.
For abit of reference i design and build my own planes it took about 2 or 3 years just to be good enough at fusion 360 let alone learning plane designs
Yeah m8 I mean you can model stuff rn and see how it goes. but to get aero designs down can be finicky. I recommend getting accustomed to 3d printing first (it’s an art) and designing as well. But hey skies the limit you can def try :)
With so many models out there just start with printing someone else's.. But as far as Drones go modeling one shouldn't be that difficult. Maybe find a model and customize it a bit.
quite weak, you can pinch through the wings with little pressure. Since everything is glued, they're also difficult to repair. I still recommend making one for fun though.
Thin and can snap with your fingers maybe, but they can still take a beating. Great thing is they are 3d prints, easy to print off a few of the most likely to break parts or atleast reprint something over night. Most things can be fixed on the field with some super glue though.
While flying never as far as I know. Melting accours with PLA materials and black colors under hot sun and the model is in the ground without any ventilation.
@@eclipsonairplanes don’t use duct tape. It doesn’t seal so it bleeds. Try using green frog tape and automotive masking line tape. Better adhesive but it make such a crisp line
What does UAV stand for? I thought it was Unmanned Airial Vehicle - in other words, autonomous - one that flies a pre-determined flight plan with no real-time input - but this one is not unmanned - he has the control in his hands.
unmanned doesn't mean autonomous, in reality most uavs aren't autonomous. Unmanned means theres not a pilot sitting inside it, but is controlling it from a distance (could be 100m or hundreds of kilometers)
@@janhumpolicek8373 Thanks for the answer - but it's mad all the same. If it's 12" long, it's pretty obvious that it doesn't have a pilot sitting in it, so there seems no need to explain that it's "unmanned". What would a pilot do? That's what the guy with the control is doing. PS - I'm not arguing with *_you._* I'm arguing with the convention.
@@DownhillAllTheWay I explained it because you said quote "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle - in other words autonomous" which is not necesairly the case, so I just wanted to let you know, because it gets a bad rep to MQ-9 reapers and other military uavs (people then call them autonomous killing machines which is as far away from the reality as possible)
I’ve built several Eclipson models and they’re very straightforward and fly very well. Printing my FW 190 now!
How long approx time does it take to print all part ?

ayyy, nice. I'm maidening the same aerodynamic configuration tomorrow, only a foam one, with just some 3d printed innards
Nice! Looks like my Skyhawk V2
Beautiful
Dang. Verry nice
Nice edit 👍

now fly it over algerian airspace :trollface:
Sweeeet!

Is the wing infill part of the model, or was it added in the slicer?
Fiz uma asa EGW-80 e ela quebrou 2 vezes 😢. Sou doido pra fazer o extrinha vermelho achei muito lindo
❤ the 3D printer data I need please.
Nice job.
Thanks. Here you can find all the information about this model. www.eclipson-airplanes.com/modelx-uav
Hi I have a question I have started making designs for 3d RC airplanes and have a question of what is the best beginner or moderate 3D site to use?
What is the range of the aircraft

@@ItsMikuMonday okay most people speak in complete sentences what are you trying to say with your little symbol and the word "tail"

What kind of 3d printer are you used?
Any FDM printer works. We used Ender 3
