- Printing RC-planeparts can be a challenge, even if you are allready into 3d-printing. So I decided to make a short tutorial to cover the basics of 3d-printed RC-planes, for those who are thinking about printing their first plane. As there are a couple of very thinwall-specific troubles to run into I thought this would be a good Idea.
All Tips, Tricks, and opinions come from my own experience, and may not meet everybody's needs and I´m sure not everybody consents. In the end you have to make your own experience, that's for sure.

I’m literally going to experience that tomorrow. I scraped up enough pennies to buy an FLSun v400 for my birthday and it arrives tomorrow. It’s the perfect printer for aircraft.
thanks for the cool tutorial! It would be cool if you made a tutorial on creating a 3D model of an airplane in SolidWorks or Fusion360.
What a super clear tutorial !
Super tutorial 👍
You are an excellent instructor 😊
Super information - Thx for sharing !😎
Lol that fall made me subscribe
thx - doing my best to keep things realistic ;)
@@3d-printz what’s the best printer for planes?
@@nemonespider that´s a difficult question which cannot be answered in a few sentences. I personally use the good old prusa i3 mk3s´s as these machines are pure workhorses. But they are just old and something like a regular bambulab printer might be a more modern choice.
@@nemonespider I wait for my Prusa XL Toolchanger. I sometimes take some Parts and place one to the other, in the Slicer and print it on my Ultimaker 3 Extended. Up to 30 cm can I do it. So i had not so many glue-Positions. Works fine. Each glue-Position is maybe a position to make a mistake, so i reduce it.
An excellent video, a lot of topics covered that I have had to sort out in previous prints, there is a learning curve to 3D printing thin wall parts. I look forward to the other video`s you spoke about and would like to know more on how you use Fusion 360. I am a beginner when using CAD software, although I can make simple parts, wing design is beyond me. Many thanks for taking the time making this video.
For me its both the wing and the internal structure of the fusilodge I can do the planes fusilodge shell but get stuck after that.
amazing video!!!
Thank you for this great video 😁! The wing of my custom design (infill type) is printing right now, and I wish I knew a few of your tips before...
First I never thought about decreasing part cooling and increasing the temp, I'll try this on the next part.
I also wish I was able to design my ribs in fusion 360 (I tryed to follow Tom Stanton's tutorial but I badly failed 😅).
Here is just a tip I find really usefull and I would add : when faced with warping, you should use the thing called "mouse ear", they are just litlle circles (often only a few layers thick) that I place on the trailing edge, and when the print is finished, I can just trim these easily. It really saved me with warping !
I'm printing in PLA with a 0.2 nozzle at 0.3 line width and one perimeter and with those settings, I managed to get a 20-25% weight deacrease compared with a 0.4 nozzle and line width. So my question is : what are the benifits of LW-PLA if you decrease weight and strenght at the same time ? Can't you just do the same with normal PLA and a thinner perimeter and infill while having a better time printing ? Or maybe wings out of LW-PLA are as strong as those out of PLA ?
I just think thinner nozzles are often overlooked when it comes to lightweight 3D printing. I'm quite clueless about LW-PLA since I never used it, so my point can be totally wrong here.
But anyways keep posting, your channel is a gem 🌠!
Oh yeah and while I'm at it, I saw somewhere on your website you were talking about the "Print solid Infill every xx Layer" parameter, does it exist in cura ?
hi zenlayne! I´m with you - using smaller nozzle sizes in combination with regular PLA is a wonderful alternative to bigger nozzles with LW-PLA. On the other side i also made good experience with even bigger nozzles (0.6) when using lw-pla single wall (short printing times, nice wallwidth). The nice thing about bigger nozzles is the higher layerheights you can use (without using pressure). Plus LW-Materials also allow higher layers as the foaming properties increase layerbonding. But Foaming material has a hell lot of disadvantages and everytime i print a plane out of regular PLA i promise myself to design my next creation for regular materials as they come out so much nicer. In the moment i´m trying to make a f5k bird and therefore need to go as lightweight as possible - so i need to stick to lw-materials. I guess lw-pla is in some cases a bit overrated and many use it inflationary. As mentioned - it´s always a question of what you want to achieve with your design. I know the "ears" you mentioned - nucking futs features them and they work very well. with the print solid every xx-parameter thing i think you meant the blogentry about the Nexusglider. I´m pretty sure Cura has such a feature as well, but.... damn i can´t find it ;) this interface drives me crazy. have a nice day and greetings from austria :)
@@3d-printz Thank you for sharing your point of view, it is indeed always a question of what the "lightness"/strenght you want...
Nice video!
I was wondering how you design the fuselage of an 3D printed rc plane so it can be printed with lw PLA
that differs from plane to plane. "Nice" features single wall LW-PLA with PLA Skeleton in the front and vasemode (perimeter) behind the CG. Others use Infill in the front.
Nice video! where can I find the universal aileron support STL?

Tolles Video, auch unterhaltsam die Materie dargebracht. Etwas das mir bei meinen Videos abgeht. Du bist irgendwann von Cura auf Prusa umgestiegen? Ist der besser für Flugmodelle? LG
Danke das hört man gerne :) Nein also ich habe nie länger auf Cura gearbeitet, weil ich eben den Aufbau doof finde. Da ich aber von all meinen Kreationen Testslices in verschiedenen Programmen mache kenne ich verschiedenste Slicer wie Slic3R, S3D, Prusa, Cura, Zortrax, etc. etc. ich würde cura jetzt aber nicht per se verteufeln. Mir ist der Aufbau einfach nur etwas "zu intuitiv" - so wie ich geistig immer noch bei Windows 7 zu Hause bin ;)
@@3d-printz also ich habe auch lange gebraucht um das was ich in Blender habe so hin zu biegen, dass es Cura dann auch entsprechend sliced. Danke für Diene schnelle Antwort, ich habe Dein Video in meine Playlist über 3 D Druck aufgenommen. Lg
My printer only supports builds up to 15x15x15mm. Is there even any planes I can print?
sorry to hear - most of the planes require at least 2000x200x200, but you coul simply split the parts with the slicer - no big deal. if you need help reach out to me: office@3d-printz.at
Echt super Infos. Bin gerade dabei mein erstes Trainer Modell zu drucken :)

When you use infill doesn’t it cause problems when printing because of the movement/travel and constant flow when using LW-PLA?
it causes of course some stringing on the inside of the model, but on most parts this won´t be a problem and lead to very clean prints anyways, as long as you only print 1 part at a time. Actually Infillbased parts come out very clean.
@@3d-printz thanks!
Do you think that carbon fibre would be good to make a plane
if you mean carbonfibre reinforced filament - no, not really. whilst it brings some weightsavings its just way more expensive and problematic when it comes to nozzle and machine-wear in general. What comes out still can´t compete to regular pla in terms of stiffness.
Do you have to do each part individually?😊
printing with lw-pla YES, definitely, regular filament no, you can fill the whole plate!
You got a new subscriber today. I do not have a printer yet but maybe very soon.
I want to print planes, and your channel is very useful for beginners. I hope you can make mode videos for those who are entertaining the hobby.
Thanks!!
Servus............schade das Du deine Videos ausschließlich in Englisch veröffentlichst. Sicher ist die Sprache sehr verbreitet, aber das "technische" Englisch ist eine ganz andere Hausnummer. Wäre es nicht möglich (ich weis, dass ist sehr viel Arbeit) gewisse Grundlagen-Videos , wie das oben, von dir in einer deutschsprachigen Version zu veröffentlichen? Grüße Udo
Hi Udo! Ja das ist ein Thema das mir auch unter den sprichwörtlichen Nägeln brennt ;) ich arbeite bereits an den Untertiteln, aber das ist bei einem tutorial dieser länge leider wahnsinnig viel arbeit. Schwieriges Thema. Bei den Modellen selbst ist immer auch eine deutsche Anleitung dabei und auch die Website hat deutsch als Muttersprache - das Publikum hier auf TH-cam ist halt sehr international - das macht das ganze etwas kompliziert ;)
