For printing the Orca V2 I used the FLSUN Super Racer that has a Bowden tube. These are the settings I used to slice my own STL files in Cura. The only settings you should need to adjust from these are individual printer settings like retraction and priming. There is also a slicing table at the bottom of the PDF, that outlines the few parts that need different top and bottom layers and infill settings. It also has the weights listed on the PDF to check your weights against.

I'm such a nerd at times, I started geeking out around 4:54 when I saw that you printed flexible joints for the flaps! Ugh!!!! There are so many projects I can't wait to get started on!
The coolest looking fpv plane I've ever seen!
I agree!
Some very clever ideas in the design of the Orca (v2) Craycle build.
Such attention to design details on the prop spinner (2:52), location/mounting of servos (3:27), canopy latches (3:50), control surface hinges (4:55).
Great camera work, and editing. Like how you find ways to keep new build videos fresh and interesting.
I completely agree! Craycle has some excellent design implements for this plane! The spinner is so amazing!! And thank you! :)
This is absolutely incredible ❤
ABSOULUTELY AMAZING
One of the coolest builds you've done
thank you!! :)
For my pushers or park edfs, I prefer to launch with a left hand wing toss, full throttle and toss so I can have my finger on the right stick incase it gets squirrelly
Thats a good technique, I was thinking about trying that out! Maybe next time! I appreciate the tip :)
I'm glad I'm left handed!
Great video man, I enjoyed that a lot
exactly the video i was looking for! Thanks!
Sweet! I hope it helps! 😊
as always excellent work, Troy
Thank you so much 😊
Looks sweet!
Mate, fantastic project, amazing shape. Congratulations !! Need to have one
Thank you so much!! Its definitely lots of fun. There is an ARF model you can buy from www.craycle.com
Great build and maiden. That nose up trim is needed for most/all flying wings. It's called Reflex.
I hadn't heard that term before! Thanks for the info! 😊
Trop cool ❤
Came here specifically to see a good build. And found one, just need to cough up the $20 and get printing, cheers for quality video
Thank you, that's awesome! 😊 have fun with the build! Cheers!
BRAVO!!!!!
I absolutely love the design and attention to detail.
Always a little bit sad to see lots of glue but i also always underestimate how heavy other methods of affixing stuff get.
it has so many awesome details!
there actually really isn't very much glue used. and it is really strong even with just a little bit of glue!
Ca glue and PLA bond quite well. Give the two surfaces a scuff with sandpaper prior to gluing to make a stronger bond. Having printed slot tabs also adds alot of strength
I agree, screws are a way to make it more modular, I think they are a much better approach for a reusable design, but hey, its about having fun as well :)
Great job:) Cool flyer!
thank you! It is such an awesome little plane
really cool
Great video -thanks. How is it at low speeds though? I'd be keen to know whether it drops a wing easily when stalled?
Awesome, I'm printing the same model, thanks for sharing.
Have fun with the build!
Bro I have a 3rd printer and I want to print it but I don't have that much pocket money(I am from India and inflation is savage 😑)
If you don't mind, can you please send me the STL files?
Very cool as always
Thank you so much 😊
Great design, seems like a fun race plane! Just subscribed
Sweet, thank you so much for the subscribe! It really is a fun little plane 😊
wow nice one!!!!!!!!
Amazing, it's so fast 👍
it is SO fast! That was half throttle most of the time too!
Good job
Génial le model est génial
Il est trop beau son petit avion❤
Nice work. Very common with flying wing style planes to need a little bit of up reflex to the ailevons.
I didn't know it before I flew this plane! That slight correction is called "reflex"
Had a feeling I'd see this plane on here. It's like the "White Claw" of the RC world.
Blows my mind that they don't have an extra pair of elevons for rudder/flaps.
that comparison though 😂 its a sweet plane so it deserves the hype
very good
cool build man
thanks man! 😊
Really nice
this is an awesome..... kudos to all from India......... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I built one of these last year but haven't gotten around to flying it yet. I was planning on buying the next release of the walksnail VTX for my quad, so will probably use the old one for this guy. I have analog, but I like HD. You're a better pilot than me lol, I lost the last plane I tried to fly line of sight.
Very nice
ZOHD KoPilot would be nice in this, since that prop setup is so sketchy for hand launching. You can put it at 1/2 throttle and just throw it any way that's comfortable and it won't throttle up until its a few feet away from you.
When I bought my 3D printer, I intended on trying a plane. The more I saw, the less I liked them. Take forever to print, and the end result was heavy and fragile -this is the first one I've seen that I really want to try. Thanks for vid!
Thats a cool autopilot system! I may have to give that one a try!
As far as 3D printing airplanes goes, I thought the same thing when I first started building planes. They have come a long way since then, some great filaments have come out and the designs are so improved - fast printing, and durability while still lightweight. You should definitely give it a try now! 😊
좋은 아이디어 영감을 얻어 갑니다. 감사해요
Printing mine now.
Debo agregar que el proyecto está súper genial, hay opción de crear un recorrido ida y vuelta programada por GPS.?
You have a great hobby mate. Our future is in the skies. I can see you are into airplanes. I hope you will find objects which can both fly fast and hover in air interesting. I believe those crafts will be in our future.
Me gustó mucho tu video, hermoso trabajo, parece comprado de fabrica saludos desde Colombia, hermoso proyecto para hacer , anima hacerlo , gracias
ahh muchas gracias!! 😊😊
That thing looks awesome. I think if I built it I'd scale it up to 1 meter.
that would be really cool to try!!
Sounds like an F1.😄
it sounds cool haha!
I love this
I have printed and built 2 of these and, It is pretty well known that you cannot glue TPU to PLA with regular CA. I used the same CA you did and I had 2 problems. 3 of the 4 glued hinge points pulled out without a lot of effort. Also if I do it just like you did, the hinges will be very stiff from extra glue. You don't even flex them in the video. You need to use Loctite 406 for gluing tpu to pla.
I WOULD SO BUY THAT
Not sure if you need it, but you can PU foam fill the inside for the wings for a bit of strength and rigidity.
Great channel! Love the planes! I am looking to get a 3d printer to print some of the planes you have done. I know you have a few printers but if you had to choose one printer which one would it be?
Which one did u pick
do you think you will be able to make a video, showing us how to setup the controller? and also flight setup and everything?
I've been getting some questions about this, I will be releasing a video very soon about setup, etc!
@@TroyMcMillan waiting for it than, cheers 🍻
It looks great fresh off the table, but how crash resilient is it?
Foam is outstanding at taking impacts.
I'm worried that even dropping during a failed launch would cripple it.
Very cool. The funny thing is it looks more like a Manta Ray than it does an Orca. 🤣
you're not wrong! 😅
wow, nice fpv RC... i want it....
build itttt! 😊
I have anycubic photon X... Which is 192x120x245 is that can print on it ??
@@andhikadwi9759 yeah you can!
So cool, love the design, the overall form and details are fantastic.
I recently saw a video about DARPA experimental craft that have no actuated control surfaces and it reminded me of years ago I did a very basic pen and paper design for a flying wing with four slat outlets on the wing two on the upper surface two on lower, upper and lower offset (upper outlets outboard, lower inboard or some other combination). Four electric motors one for each set of outlets. There is an interior geometry that directs the flow from motors to slats and all thrust is through the slats. By changing output to each and a lot of experimenting maybe pitch, yaw and roll control could be achieved. The complex geometry of the wing and interior flow chambers is best manufactured by 3D printing the forms.
Troy I’d appreciate your thoughts on whether this is feasible from a DIY 3D print manufacturing standpoint. I need to do more work as this is essentially just a concept but I like the idea of a no flap craft and precise software control of thrust for flight control.
Krásná práce 👍🇨🇿
What would the flight time look like for this type of wing? I could use up to a 2400 battery if necessary.
love those PANCAKE landings. .5 kilos is 1.12 POUNDS
i love the wing....
its awesome
cool
I absolutely love the build and I've been thinking of printing a plane myself in the past. Unfortunately, RC planes don't go well since they are brittle when 3D printed. My favorite design is a mix between EPP and 3D printed parts.
absolutely not brittle if you print them correctly
@@antonioesposito8071 It doesn't matter the print quality. FDM induces tension in the material which is what makes it a lot more brittle and less durable than other model building materials. That being said, salt fusing does fix this issue for most parts.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj are you new to this? salt fusion does not work with these kind of pieces. By the way every material is a tradeoff, you want EPP? durable but forget complex geometry, you want balsa? light, durable ma you have to be billionaire. You want FDM? more fragile but super economic and infinite geometry possibility
@@antonioesposito8071 Are you new to this? Salt fusing literally was made for this kind of application.
Complexity is pointless without design. So far we have not encountered a need where AM's capabilities can exceed the performance of traditional materials. The whole application of 3D printed RC parts as of now is ease of fabrication. If you are strictly performance oriented, AM is not the way to go.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj just try to add a washout to a homebuilt EPP wing. By the way show me your results (or other people work) with salt fusing
I've been following your videos for sometime and have built several 3d printed planes but would really like to design my own. As you designed that airliner awhile ago could you possibly go through the process and tools to design a 3d printed plane.
Hi! that is a great idea for a future video. until then, I like to use Fusion360 for designing!
On a flying wing, the elevons typically need to be set slightly above the wing airfoil curve. This is known as reflex. Without it, the airplane will want to track downward. BTW, does the printed kit include the STL files?
User here, just bought it, and yes, GCode and STL files provided. And happy to see someone else knows about the reflex
отличная работа. И звучит, как настоящий Шахид
Smart add
Got to be honest from my point of view, i have a couple of rc planes and a couple of printers etc. I think 3d printing planes is great way to go but id like to see it more from a repair stand point. I think many 3d printed planes are showing off the benefits of using printing such as exact thin airfoil section, high internal volume, accurate swept fuselages...however ive been flying ec for a while, most of my planes seem to get more hangar rash and odd crashes on launch or landing...so instead of a nore complex 3d printed plane, what would be awesome is to even just have a 'normal plane' like a bush mule, nano talon, talon, trainer etc, where damaged parts can be reprinted and replaced using small fasteners etc...so i can maintain my fleet. Its likely in this area that ill work towards my own designs. Thanks
With a little bit of creativity this plane could just click together without any glue. You could easily replace parts that way. Even if someone was able to just 3D print 3 different style wings and a couple different style tail wings you could come up with a basic fuselage out of balsa or foam board.
Or maybe even create a few different style fuselages that the wings would all easily attach to… I mean kinda like Flite Test but 3D printed in your own home.
I actually crashed both my 3D printed Cessna 152 and 3D printed airliner pretty badly and was able to repair/reprint the damaged parts, and fly them again! I have videos on both of those repairs on my channel! My next plane will be a bush plane, a Piper Cub, so check back for that one!
Excellent project! But when I quoted the parts and you realise that you spend more than $500, makes me get discouraged 😩
it's initially expensive to get into this hobby, the 3d printer and the transmitter are the worst but after you have them they last! the kit that Craycle offers is an excellent value and that would save from having to get a printer right away. I looked up a more inexpensive transmitter also, I'll link that in the description. I hope that helps!
@@TroyMcMillan I got the 3D printer…transmitter, motor, battery, receiver are the expensive parts to me…😉 ….anyway, fantastic job mate! Subscribed now!
@@TroyMcMillanaa❤❤😂❤😢😮
@@TroyMcMillan good job, i like it very much. I don't have a 3D printer, would it be possible for me to buy such a plane from you?
The last two years I've made my hobby FPV. Mostly drones, just got my first printer and have printed two wing designes. im working on putting them together now. Such a frustrating and slightly expensive hobby but it's worth every moment and I love it
Great video Troy, my question what are the rods you put between pieces?
they are 3mm carbon fiber rods, 10mm long. You can also use wooden dowels if you wanted, or leave them out - they are just used for alignment not for strength :)
This looks fun. Do you fly with Expo? And did you lose sight of it when turning? It looks like that could happen very easy :)
yeah I use about 20% expo. I didn't lose sight of it, it could happen with how fast and small it is though, you just have to pay close attention to orientation
I noticed with my files I didn't see hinges..any ideas? Also what size carbon rod did you use for the fuselage pins... thanks
Waahhh baju hitam itu, seperti simpatisan partai PKS ya .... 👍👍😃
Hey Troy what are those small little beg things you use to attach all the parts precisely. Do you have to buy it separately or 3d print it.
its a 3mm carbon rod, they are just used for alignment of the pieces. not required to use though, they don't add any strength
Any idea about change the noise to silence of motors?? They have specific engine ?
Very nice looking plane..... But looks almost like a direct rip off of the Flite Test flerkin
Will it stay airborne at lower speed?
We made this model 2 years ago... Glad you like!
Hey Troy. What Delta printer are you using? Looks great. Would you recommend it?
its an FLSUN super racer, and I would absolutely recommend it! they are coming out with a new delta printer soon though, and it will be direct drive so maybe hold out for that one!
@@TroyMcMillan Thx Troy. I'll keep an eye out. Love your content.
Hi - is it a CCW motor?
Thanks!
Cool build. Is it possible to put 4G on the plane and fly long range? Thank you.
technically yeah as long as you have the reception and video feed you can fly as far as you'd like!
the wing spar carbon rod is 5mm od ?
What filament do you use again? Regular PLA or LW-PLA ? This is sick btw 😁 flies in rails!
regular PLA+! Its fast and lots of fun 😊
@@TroyMcMillan ayye sick thats good to hear cause lw-pla is expensive 😂
I built mine with pla plus too.
Do you prefer the super racer or the vyper?
Is it possible to do reverse thrust for VTOL? Reverse thrust to climb and hover, then dive into forward thrust for flight. Opposite for landing
there are ways to add reverse thrust with a special esc, but I don't know how well this plane would hover!
what filament to use to print?
wow
is there a disadvantage in printing in only a couple pieces?
very nicebro
make any video of complete designing rc plane in fusion 360
Good....
Nice .I'm getting this bad boy! But what happens if the servo goes bad? Looks like u might have to print a new plane
Servo Service Hatches are comes with the wing and you have to cut its tiny connections to break servo hatch from the wing if you need to replace servo. So you can replace your servos :D Sorry for the missing information on the PDF. We will add this detail.
Exactly as Craycle said, you can just cut out the servo cover, replace the servo, and then you can either glue the cover back in place or even leave it off
@@TroyMcMillan nice!
Tape works well for reassemble the servo cover 👌
What setting U use for eSUN LW PLA?
4:20 Black stick is called as "spar" in aviation.
you are right!
My eyes are 20 years too old to fly this missile! Wouldn't mind building one though just for the fun of it.
nicely build. how many gram of filament needed for this project?
not very much I would say like 200g
Are you still active on this channel? If so, I’m very glad! I am planning on making a 3d printed trainer aircraft, and I need your help!
THANK USA. THANK YOU
it should have one of those tiny wheels so it can land better.
if we could find the way to hook the wyze prz camera to this drone!!!! that would be best pruduct good amilitary drone!!!!
Can I build this and use the dji o3. With the DJI goggles and controler?
Hello budy, how are you? Tell me, among your projects do you have any that you can do with rtk? Is there any module that can be applied? I want to ride a vant.
what mind of battery do you need to make it fly for say 2-3h?
2200 mah lipo battery
you in New Mexico ?
Which printer do you use on this model?
the FLSUN Super Racer!
Would you mind if I modified your design to suit my needs
How weird is it that I was surfing for ideas and found it 🤔 it's weird to me, considering it's 90% of my mental design for shape 👀
