“Clurichaun” Build Log - A Leprechaun Inspired, 3D Printed RC Glider
มุมมอง 20K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Leprechaun was designed by R A Twoomey in 1950 as a free flight glider, and was a record breaker in it's day. Now with 3D printing, I have designed a RC glider to take full advantage of 3d printer's design flexibility and print accuracy for a Leprechaun-like RC sailplane. In this video, I'll take your from design, slice/print and assembly to show you how a 3D printed build-up design is diff...

    Schöne Idee, auf jeden Fall interessant. Das Modell so aufzubauen macht wenig "Dreck" und man benötigt dafür keine extra Werkstatt - ein großer Vorteil. Holzmodelle sind da i.d.R. mit mehr Staub usw. verbunden. Aber mir fehlt ein wenig trotzdem die Begeisterung für dieses Design. Die Bespannung auf dem leicht schmelzbaren Kunststoff überzeugt mich nicht. Ich bevorzuge da doch lieber den klassischen Holzbau, jedoch mit modernen Steckverbindungen, welche der Laserschneider ermöglicht. Holz ist i.d.R. auch leichter vom Gesamtgewicht - Vor- und Nachteile gibt es aber in jeder Konstruktionsart. Zum Glück brauchen wir uns an Regeln nicht zu halten und können für uns entscheiden ob und wie wir mit modernen Methoden arbeiten und diese auch unkonventionell kombinieren!

    Some very nice ideas for using the 3D printing in a way that recognizes the old style of model construction. It did a great job of keeping the character of the original. You dd a great job of adapting this to 3D printing Some of the replies below are suggesting ways to save a few grams. I understand the need for the fairly big tail piece on the fuselage to mount the stabilizer and rudder. But perhaps a few holes in the sides to save a couple of grams in the tail? Speaking of weight what is the wing span and what was the final ready to fly weight? Any idea on how much LW-PLA would save? I can see making the bulkier parts in LW-PLA but keeping the more delicate things like the ribs and fuselage formers in PLA or even PETG? A big part of the look and magic of your design is in the open look of the design.. I gather you have not flown it yet. All the best of luck for those first flights.

    Prints on my Bambu Lab A1 Combo? Not sure if the X1 has the same plate size? Cool! Thanks. Laurie. NZ. 😊

      It does!

    it is recommended that when a folding prop is going to be used that the nose have a radially SYMMETRICAL shape. the use of CF in the entire length of the tail boom has increased tail-heaviness in the model's dom. distribution of mass. (at least there are no servos at the tail in this design.)

      Very good point. Will go through another iteration for the nose. The CF tube is very light weight (10g per 80cm). It's common for 3D printed gliders to be tail heavy due to heavy PLA tails. This will go through rework too.

      CF has a superior strength to weight ratio. I think it would make a great tail if designed with a reasonably large diameter and a sufficiently thin wall.

    reality check the design of a dihedral wing SHOULD include a CENTER SECTION and dihedral brace. the latter should be the 'thing' that structurally joins the wing halves.! heavy material, such as CF or arrow shaft, is NOT an ideal material to use in a model aircraft. it is recommended that clear-grained poplar dowels be purchased at a variety/hardware store. design should not result in a relative increase in the amount of outboard-located mass in a wing. this fact should be considered, when extending a main spar to the wingtips and when designing the wingtip structure. the use of single-cable linkages and sprung control surfaces on this modern model was just dumb.

      Thanks, those are very good points. And yes, there are 4 CF rods as "joiner" to connect the beefy root section together.

      May I know your poplar weight per unit length?

      For the size of spar used you are getting a lot more stiffness and total strength out of the carbon arrow shaft. If you did switch to a hardwood dowel it would need to be a larger diameter. Or you would need to totally change the style of spar construction. For the size of it and how this model will be used and given the 3D printed nature of the design? I think low cost light arrow shafts are pretty much an ideal option when all the factors are considered. Yes balsa and spruce can save you some grams. But at the cost of the simplicity of this style of build. So I'm going with the idea that you did fine with your choices.

    nice 👏 that's gonna be something to not wastefully use Bambu's most expensive PPA-CF filament on! (almost 2x stronger than PAHT-CF in some measures)

      Think about that too👍

      @@geode_rc really cool, even with just PAHT-CF this is already almost understuctable (used TPU for nose), been crashing to the ground without RC countless times - at least as good if not better than foam! wait until I recreate it with PPA-CF!
