When you hear the German accent the first thing that comes to mind is "precision". Great work.

[Dale-sjru]

I just finished printing this model. I now see how the wing is held on! Thanks.

[rolandog]

what a beautiful design, the money is in the see-through, wow!

[landlocked]

A fellow flyer thats good to know, way to go and any landing that allows you to fly again is a good landing. I have printed two of there planes the P47 Thunderbolt and the Biplane gave the Biplane to a friend and hung the thunderbolt from the ceiling, will fly it later on a calm day which happens a least once every ten years in North Dakota, aleast it seems that long. Thanks for all your videos you do a really good job and everyone can learn alot by watching them.

as a rcplane builder and a 3d printer this is amazing

[aussieparamotorman]

Awesome video mate, thanks to this I was finally able to print thin wall RC plane components using Cura with my Flashforge Adventurer 4. With some setting tweaks I’m confident I’ll be able to get some good quality flyable parts. The mesh fix deactivation trick worked a treat for the slicer recognising the internal structure. Thanks man!

Beautiful work, and GORGEOUS countryside ! Very NICELY _done_ !

[MrRafsany]

nice and smooth build. cheers...
12:50 you could've superglued toothpicks/fibers as rebar to make those joints stronger...

Super glue and Bicarbonate of soda also works really well to bond things together. VERY hard and strong bond. Cornstarch as well as baby powder also work well. But they have different consistencies. Cornstarch is super quick, like basically instant. Good for quick in the field fixes. Baby powder is a quite a bit slower setting than bicarbonate of soda with super glue, and can be used more like a putty but isn't as strong as Bicarbonate of soda.
Quantities for mixing are very dependent. You can tell when Bicarb is saturated with super glue. Cornstarch is more like a sprinkling over the super glue. For baby powder there is the biggest difference. You can mix in as little or as much as you like depending on the consistency you want.

Jedes mal aufs neue bin ich von deinem absolut genialem Englisch begeistert!

"After a couple of thousands replacements..." That's funny.

Hello young man, I wanted to say thank you for the G_code info on the slicer setting for Cura. It has made a huge difference. No more pulling my hair out trying to configure the settings to print out the Spitfire airplane. I was really starting to have my doubts and wondered if my cr10s could print this plane. Now the prints are amazing.

[gilesclement]

Just a thought, would it be possible to include some vibration isolating mounts for the motor? At the moment the stiffness of the airframe is amplifying the prop sound and it would seem that’s something which, when eliminated, could make for a more pleasant flying experience experience.

[Keldor]

You should use 0.24mm instead of 0.25mm on the CR-10 since the Z axis step size is 0.04mm. Keep it divisible.

Bought my first 3D printer (Ender 3 Pro) 3 weeks ago and another one week later. Main purpose - printing planes :D
Already printed 3 planes - Eclipson Model V in LW-PLA, PlanePrint Foka in PLA and PlanePrint Zlin Savage Bobber in PLA

[alexchulzhanov]

I'm printing the P-51D Mustang; so far I have most of the wing printed and it is going well despite being a very long print project lol. Excited to get it all together and fly it!

[stevenwan]

Thank you so much! I spent days trying to figure out why parts were missing after slicing. Made my day man :)

[leesuschrist]

I have no experience with any RC vehicles, but I'm determined to build a 3d printed flying wing. This look like so much fun!

[vgfxworks]

Great choice on choosing transparent PLA.. The plane looks awesome!
.. even if it didn't fly well still certainly a beautiful scale model to be displayed.
brilliant video, model, craft, 3d printing and content.. keep it up with the great work! best!

[Yogenh]

I have done the spitfire, the PT -17, the ebge, and the lager spitfire. Have had a lot of fun with them.
