you'd need a smooth runway for that, scale landing gear on this size model would also have caught in the grass and would possibly have lead to more damage
One thing I noticed about the P-51 and the Spitfire MK XVI is they are so aerodynamically sleek that they don't slow down much when you cut throttle. So if you aren't careful you end up trying to land with way more speed then you should. The field I fly mine at is pretty rough ground too and I don't have problems with the landing...just got to get it slower.
Been putting off 3d printing for awhile wife actually asked me a few times if I wanted one now I have a reason to get one. Need to dump a few of my other hobbies first too many right now.
How many times does Stu cut LR Tony off or speed him along (unnecessarily), lol? I saw the FT video about these 3d printed planes, but this video gave me more confidence to try it!
100 years ago to fly anything at all human made was insane, now well made RC ones can be built for $65 with electronics and printing on a $190 printer!
All fixed now and back flying like new. Ended up printing a small section out and gluing it in after removing the broken bit. Much easier than I initially thought.
You could try install drop tanks, and let the plane slide on those. The 750mm Hobby King foam Mustang's manual suggests the same, if you want to leave off the landing gear.
Get some Teflon tape to put on the bottom of the plane tony, it’ll make it slide easier on landing and less chance of it gripping suddenly on landing. Bloody nice looking plane, glad you did it in clear filament, nice to see the internal sections.
Love to get a bit more printing advice from LRT. I have been trying to print a 3Dlaprint plane and have concluded that unless you totally commit and buy simplify 3D as well, your experience with their models will be extremely frustrating. Their designs are made to be sliced with S3D (presliced when you buy a model). At $150 USD for S3D, you need to print a lot of planes to make it worthwhile. Did LRT use S3D ?
what's the difference in the weight of the shell compared to old school balsa or the newer foam? what characteristics change with this 3d printed type of model/shell vs other types?
I've just finished printing the Eclipson model A, it's very similar to the HK Bixler, except the prop is in the nose, the wings are on top, so should withstand a harsh landing
What do you think about gluing with methylene chloride? It’s hazard to manipulate but adhesion it is perfect because melt a little bit of outer faces and bond like if were same piece
Lol the plane is 17$ just for the files. This excludes the plastic needed to make the plane and the electronics which will cost over 150$. There are plenty of drone frames for 17$
That underwing radiator scoop .... mine did not match up to wing to set that catch ... its sitting too high. But overall the model is a beaut. I have two ... one in sliver WW2 scheme and other as a mock Reno racer in blue.
This is one beautiful build, and great flying, even though we could only see you flying near, but it looked locked in. So I fly off a grass maintained field, and I noticed that you were calling that grass you were on rough, and you should never have flown on it, do you think that these 3D printed planes are just fragile? It looks like the grass would have been soft for belly landing. Cheers.
@@grahambate3384 it didnt work, and the up300 previously didnt support gcode, I doubt they fixed that. You need the new upstudio to print thinner, and you needed to put little rectangles around the base of the model in order to trick the system to print supports and to get the first layers to print ok.
Tx guys, great vid. How did you make the decals please? And with what? I have printed and flown many planes, but cannot seem to find the correct material and process for decent decal adhesion... :-(
How did you stop the thin walls warping? Also that thing would slow right down next time go high and see how slow it will go until you hit dead stick..that way you will tell how slow on landing you can go 😉👌 V cool
Great looking plane. I really love the detailed explanation on cost and very important printing tips. One thing I missed the glue and accelerator name/link, if you can put in reply/description it will great. Nice video enjoyed it.. 👍
Its a spray that you can use to dry CA glue/superglue almost instantly. He used the thick ca glue, not the watery kind. Thick ca glue takes a lot longer to dry, particularly on plastic. So using the accelerant spray lets him dry the glue instantly once the part is in place.
3d printers are awesome but i wouldn't spend 20+ hours printing this to just crash it after a 10 minute flight. The foam planes are cheap enough. Also check out cnc foam cutters. You could cut your own foam wings
I spent $230 on an Ender 3 about a month ago, wish I wouldn’t have waited so long. With no experience or education in design or software I can now design basic stuff in fusion about as fast as I could search for it. It’s not hard if you watch a few videos and struggle a bit. Super rewarding. Do it!
@@ALIRaza-MCE- cheapest would be one you build yourself. Arduino with grbl, a couple t6600 stepper drivers, some nema23 steppers, gt2 belting & pullies for the steppers, something to use as a frame, and a hot wire element & a voltage source. Can probably build one for about $200 Ive built a cnc router & cnc laser engraver this way, a foam cutter wouldnt be much different.
Thats really cool....im bummed out as my print size is not quite big enough to print that,mabe i could scale the plane size down a little then print it.wonder if that would work as i like the thought of printing my own planes out...great vid
The parts can be printed seperately. You only need 200x200x200 build area with the provided models. Or you can print individual pieces if you wanted to
I have a tarantula pro and it's a pain to maintain, the ender 3 is so popular now that it's easier to get help along with the better attention to detail with the build. I'll be buying a CR6 SE whenever that comes out because Creality makes some damn good printers
tevo tornado is perfect for me has its better than the cr 10 not locked in drivers faster bed heating and no salmon skinning I have the new gold version the green one gives salmon skinning tevo is way better than cr 10
I love this. I actually have the same printer and the plans of 3D lab prints for the Edge 540. Been meening to print it for a while now. But need to get the printer settings dailed in. Would love if you guys could shate some more settings for the tevo Tarantula on these prints.
Ok 0:47 seconds in... and I had to leave this comment... the star points forward or up. Guys here in the states mess it as well so don't feel bad. On with the video!
I had the spitfire 2 years ago , flew beautifully for 2 flights and then a prop strike destroyed the motor mount, would need to print an entire fuselage to redo it. I think pla is just too brittle personally

I have now. I just clicked the link.
Hi. What was the transparent blue and clear pla brand he used? Thanks for your response
Can u pls send me on of those beauty’s the plane btw
Btw you need to go slower when coming down by pulling up hard ( I’m a student pilot )
That looks beautiful, might need some landing gear though. And that clear pla is just asking for a led lightshow inside it
Do it now!!!!
you'd need a smooth runway for that, scale landing gear on this size model would also have caught in the grass and would possibly have lead to more damage
@@garyrobinson312 Or a smooth skate like design instead of wheels so it can slide on grass and rough roads
for grass you need replaceable skids/skis
People like to use these for air combat competition since they are bare bones without landing gear and are inexpensive to replace.
3d labprint planes are brilliant! Myself and a few mates have built and flown many!! best thing ive ever done in the rc plane hobby

He should try solvent welding the cracks before he fires up the dremel.
Some clear cellotape might stop that scoop catching on the grass.
All fixed now and back flying like new. Ended up printing a small section out and gluing it in after removing the broken bit. Much easier than I initially thought.
Definitely safer to 3D print another piece, than trying to "solvent weld" PLA with something that might give you cancer.
PLA is extremely solvent resistant. There is a solvent that will work on it, but normal people can't (and shouldn't!) get a hold of it.
they are really cool. i've bought the plans for the spitfire months ago but haven't gotten around to print it. so cool guys
You could try install drop tanks, and let the plane slide on those. The 750mm Hobby King foam Mustang's manual suggests the same, if you want to leave off the landing gear.
Beautiful job. It fly’s on rails. Thanks
3dlabrint is from Czech Repuplic (Europe), not from States. I own BF-109 G from that shop ;)
My bad. Thanks for the correction.
was wondering if I was the only one that picked that up.
They are a great company, and I have the P51 too, same Eco build. Super fun, but brittle and doesn't forgive in a crash!
Have you done many 3D builds? Do you feel like they are more fragile than flying with foam board?
Very nice. Make me want to buy a 3D printer. Looks like the old school Wonder Woman transparent plane :-)

Always been curious about these.
Would think on stress points and glue points add some fibre tape also?
Absolutely.
Really makes me want to buy a 3D printer now.

please answer, are you open lessons to learn to make planes? and how much does it cost to take flight with you ??
Maybe consider printing a piece infront of that scoop to prevent it catching on the ground. Nice build though!
Very cool.
The mind races with ideas
How did you stop the thin walls warping?
Also that thing would slow right down next time go high and see how slow it will go until you hit dead stick..that way you will tell how slow on landing you can go 😉👌

Nice video, what about filling the airplane with expandable foam to give it more strength?
Great idea. After each landing print out a new plane. You are a freaking Genious. That's how things are done in Kangaroo Land. 😂
Try mesh mixer instead of dremel, you can fix and modify in software
Gorgeous Airplane!!!!
L.O.L ToT Best landing!!!!
Great build !!! Wheels? Thanks for sharing!
Great video, love that plane. Some drop tanks under the wings may help with landings. Keep up the good work.
What's the cost in electricity? 3d printers look power hungry.
