I'm excited to finish this one 😍
YEES
And I'm excited to follow along by watching your video's! Awesome as always and thanks for sharing!
Nice broo👍
When will you complete it
Yes
You will not stop until you can ride them, also 2kg for that entire piece??? I need to learn your magic man!!
Nice job on the binky mini wheel arches, funny to see so the cool creators crossovers
Thanks buddy, I'm sure I can ride this one on the taxi way! that's the carbon fiber magic my friend.
Ramy: my work would be easier If I got a 2 meters 3D printer.
Ivan: I am building a 3D printer 2 meters in length.
Ramy: Great I must get one.
(1 Week later)
Ramy: My next project is a 3 meters Airplane.
Ivan: I got your back bro.
Carbon fiber is stupid light man
It will be far lighter if entirely cast with carbon fiber i guess?
Looking forward to seeing this finished Ramy!
I work for Rolls-Royce, and used to build the Trent 900's. If you're ever in the UK I'd be happy to give you a tour.
Hi mitch i know its a bit of a long shot and im currently studying engineering at college and it would be an hour if you could possibly arrange a tour for our class. Thanks anyway
This really deserves a lot more attention, no really. You put in months of work into your models, good work
And then he barely fly them, we can't enjoy the finished result :(
@@wololo10 yeah true
he could build a moon rocket in seconds LOL electric!!
Just a few things that may or may not be of interest. My dad used to make GRP model yachts so I spent a fair few hours in my childhood holding the resin tin and watching watching watching:
1) When you have cut your cloth laminate layer, consider making a copy in parcel paper that you can use as a template for the next shell you make. You can mark the paper with weave orientation so you can get consistency and reduce cloth wastage.
2) This may not apply to the type of cloths and resins you are using but my dad had a roller that was basically a bunch of alternately big and small stainless steel washers on the roller rod. I think that this served to push the resin into the cloth and drive out any air, basically optimising the thickness and strength of each shell. He used a lot of chopped strand glass cloth and this roller put a pattern into the topmost layer of glass, optimising the grain. As I say, this may not apply to woven cloth.
3) Dunno if you have already designed this but you may want to put a flange into the mould of the other half so that the join is integral and thus stronger than a butt joint. The flange on the boat shells was a separate piece so that it could be removed to make extrication from the mould that bit easier.
Cheers,

Amazing!!! Next the queen of the skies, 747-8i please!!🤩
Korean livery 😉
I was waiting for this one..😍😍😍
Next antonov 225🤟😁
Or maybe go for something a bit different, a turbo prop like an A400 or C-130
@@Smokeyr67 Let Mr. Ramy decide as our demands won't get stoped 😁
Me tomi love airbus
YEAAH
@@Smokeyr67 I wish it was a Transall ! Tactical landig, almost STOL ....
Can't wait for the landing gears, those are my favorite part
My favorite part is when he install lights
I was spoiled by your other plane vids. Start to finish videos, now the anticipation will kill me 🤣
ohh 😍 finally 380 😍 good luck! / big 747 next? 😬
I was expecting this one for a long time. Finally its here. So excited about the A380
Missed you for a while there. You are such a great model designer. You are doing so much work for each plane, but I LOVE to watch you working hard ;)
GREAT work!
Thank you my friend, I think you should try to build something!
11:50 it's called warping, it can happen to any large print but most commonly happens with abs. You have a very large print surface so I suggest cranking you're bed temp up to around 80-how ever far it'll go. Should do the trick
Or build a raft and clamp the outer areas to the bed
Also a heated build volume will help
@@abyssalreclass yes but a heated build volume would be a bit tricky and maybe for some, expensive to install
I am a A380 pilot and this model you have built is completely accurate! Well done!😄
Yes I've been waiting for this for soooooooo long!
You forgot to put an "a" between the "w" and "t"
Craftsmanship at its finest. Thanks for sharing the whole process. Its amazing how much you put into these builds.
Hello, carbon and glass have very different elongations. Carbon is really stiff and glass is able to flex quite a lot. If you combine galss with carbon in the same layup the glass is pretty much a dead weight, because it cannot elongate enough to take advanatage of it's strenght. By the time the glass elongates enough the carbon has already snaped in hlaf long time ago. It's better to stick with one or the other for the layup.
Maybe you could experiment with some gelcoats for the molds. Might give you usable surface on some parts that you won't cut that many holes into.
Keep up the good work!
Hi, Martin! :-) It gets a bit complicated because woven carbon-fibre blocks radio signals, so Ramy's mixing things up with fibreglass in the fuselage to ensure he can get a reliable RC link.
In this case I think he's only using the carbon for stiffness and mass reduction on certain high stress points and relying on varying the weave orientation to avoid differential flex and (possible) delamination issues.
Laying up wing spars for large (4 metre) RC gliders often involves combining fibreglass, carbon-fibre, and wrapped aramid (Kevlar) in the same mould. As long as you get the epoxy saturation percentages correct and the weave directions aligned properly (usually crossed at 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis) there aren't any problems with the different properties of the materials.
In my experience it's beneficial to mix the different materials' properties when constructing spars, and the end result is tougher (but not lighter) than an all-carbon design.
Ramy's done a lot of work with composites, so I imagine he's sticking with what he knows will work for him.
Hi @@EleanorPeterson ,
you probably didn't understand what I meant. I know that carbon absorbs radio waves, but one layer of glass on top of carbon structure will not suddenly make it radio transparent. I'm saying that if you combine glass and carbon in same layup, the glass is basically dead weight, because it doesn't contribute on transferring the load as much as the carbon, that has elongation smaller by an order of magnitude.
I'm only commenting on what I know from my experience as aircraft technician and from university classes.
Lastly, just to stay in correct terms. I follow Ramy for some time and I admire his work, but he still has a lot to learn about composite structures. And there's nothing wrong about that, we all still have something new to learn, I'm just trying to help.
I really hope when you finish this one that you design your own airliner and build it. You have such a gift and I bet you have learned so much that you can improve so much from the originals. I look forward to seeing Ramy Airlines -001.
"Your gonna need a bigger shop"
Ramy rc good luck with your a380 and it doesent end up like the 787!

"Look at the huge plane"
Oh, that's just Ramy flying one of his models".....
@PLATINUM 08 r/wooooosh
Finally, thanks Ramy for starting this A380 build. Love your videos
That is a lot of work there, Good luck to your project!
Thank you ! Ramy RC very much
I'm curious how you will put 22 landing gears on this plane.Looks amazing!
5 sets with 22 wheels actually
@@hueyrosayaga yup, my bad, thanks:)
With the current crisis, this one will be one of the few A380 that we will see in the skies now.
Perfect timing Ramy! I'm just starting out on a project using the same methods as you! Excited to see your A380 come together.
What is going on with your project?
I watched you make the original a380 years ago, and ive been hooked ever since, your skills are great
YASSS RAMY I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS BUILD. AWESOME NEWS TO WAKE UP TO.
This is gonna be next level. Such a huge project. The next episode you need to choose a subscriber as a passenger. Such a cool build.
I can’t wait to see this in the sky. Love the video keep it up 👍
Good luck Ramy. Can't wait for this one... PLA tend to shrink when cooling especially at the corners. When I print PLA I use 20mm brim. The brim lifts sometime but the print stays. In addition, I also use UHU glue stick on the build plate which holds the print very strong
I can't wait for see the full body assembly 😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️
Airbus has just stopped making his last A380 last week ? No way ! Rami is taking over !!
12:06 3D printers are known to warp the print a little sometimes. Also could be bed warp. One of the ways to reduce it is to use a glass bed on the printer.
I haven't watched this channel in a while but this was the plane I was always begging for him to build I'm starting to watch again
When you finish, you have to put both of your A-380s for a quick size comparison!❤️
The King Of The Skies is getting built!!!
Please use actual fuel engines for this! I know electrical ones are easier etc.. but aaaaa I rly would love to see real turbine driven ones!
He won’t. It’s such a waste. He will probably also cover cover with vinyl. Customs builds such a nice plane and then finishes the like crap. I don’t understand why he doesn’t paint them and use real turbines. Make no sense.
@@Señorscuba what’s bad about vinyl? I think if you are good at using it you get much better results than with paint. But that is just my opinion
@@Señorscuba running 4 gas turbines creates a completely new set of issues for no real gain. EDF’s work well, sound great and are far less complicated.
@@Smokeyr67 one answer is sound period. And you don’t have to use 4 you can use two engines in the inner and dummy fans on the outers.
@@Señorscuba And turbines are way more expensive than edfs
Wow that thing is HUGE. Imagine of you build the AN 225. Well you never know what the future holds.
What do you do with the molds after?
"Bob Ross" in 2021! Great to watch sir! Thank you for your awesome videos
My reaction is exactly the same as when I see an actual A380: "That's a big boat!"
Hey Ramy, awesome build-log, thanks for sharing it!
The thing with the molds peeling off the print bed might be what they call warping. Had the same and it was annoying as hell, so I put a FR4 Plate onto the glass plate. That's the same material they make PCBs of and it helps A LOT with the adhesion, no glue, no tape required and warping is totally gone :)))
Just keep the glass plate underneath as the GFK might be a bit uneven and the glass will help to level it perfectly well!
Another nice trick: using octoprint on a Raspberry Pi to control the printer from your PC, but that's a whole other story ;)
As always, great work ramy.
Have you tried using giroidal infill for the 3d printed mold? I think it may give enough strenght to make it withstand a vacuming process, it may help get rid of the small boubles. Gyroidal infill gives theorically an omnidirectional strenght to the part.
Outstanding craftsmanship Ramy! Your extreme mastery of this skill is utmost impressive! “With a wave of Ramy’s resin roller, his wizardry commands raw material into airborne creatures.”
nice work ramy!
Thanks Vince.
Forgive me if this has already been done, but Ramy please give us a video of YOURSELF! You need to do a "Who Am I" video of your background, your personal history and how you got to this point. You have to be some type of engineer. I myself am an aerospace structural stress analysis engineer with some artistic talent and craftsmanship and I could NEVER be able to do this. You showed some of the computer design background of these fantastic projects but the structural calculations seem right on. The designs seem first-time perfect. Show us -- TELL US! -- how you do it all! I think if you showed us all your "secrets" still NO ONE would be able to match you! Just your shear attention to detail and craftsmanship cannot be matched. Love all your work! Don't stop; keep it up. 👍
thank you for showing modeling, I will slow down so I can see it better. awesome stuff. What filament are you using and what glue to adhere the pieces?
He used the Akfix glue and he uses P.L.A. Filament, watch his other videos he will say it in some parts!
I use 5 minutes epoxy and sometimes superglue.
id never even considered the fact these large rc models were fiberglass and carbon fibre before i found this channel. I always assumed the large models would be over the weight limits and need no end of paper work but im considering getting a 3D printer now lol. Ive always wanted one and this would be as good a reason as any to get one
I know planes are your thing, but have you ever considered creating a boat such as a superyacht or cruise ship? Or even a seaplane
Alright.....we are now off and running with the A-380......This will be a great build !......But don't forget, the next build......the Antonov An-225 Mriya !.....Love your work ! Fantastic !
I love the 3D printed molds, I must try that for my next composite project! I'd love to know what kind of thick primer that is you used. Looks like it worked well. Congrats on yet another amazing project!
I love watching you build your RC planes. That plane is going to be huge. I cannot wait to see it completed.
Wow that much time just to print and assemble the molds oo
maybe 1 Month
Looks like I wasn't the only one waiting for this build. Really nice work Ramy!!
Hey, is this(making mind blowing model planes) your source of income or you just do it as a hobby?
Awesome.... I guess this is the craziest project among all your works.... We wanna see the gigantic Airbus flying soon
would be too sad if only one piece is crafted out of your awesome molds and never used again
Your a true artist 👩🎨
For the engine's will you use fuel for this Airbus
I wish because 4 of those will cost around 1 mil or 100 thousand
Yea he probably wont since they are to expensive
Ramy, what you are experimenting with the molds peeling is indeed material contracting, higher temperatures actually make it worse as the delta against the environment temperature is higher. This is easily fixed with enclosures for printing. (Eliminates air currents and keeps temperatures even across long prints) You might have noticed that warping is so much worse during nights or winters
I never get tired of watching these builds. So glad to see a new one. Like the new shop too!
Ramy that thing is going to be crazy big!!👍👍👍
No words.
Just Amazing😍😍😍😍😍
A tip to help your prints not peel is crank the temp up for the first couple layers and use a brim. The brim will be a lifesaver.
I can’t believe the skill you have - you are a true master craftsman.
one of my must watch channels
@ramy Rc All the best 👍
This A380 is going to be a beast of a plane can’t wait to see it done
I'm stoked to watch this A380 come together, and it's going to be an absolute monster. Can't wait for the next video!
Harika iş çıkartıyorsun, tebrik ederim
Excellent ramy bro💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
Hi Ramy I always like your video's. For the 3 mm gap in the 3D models due to the print getting a little bit of the buildplate, I always clean my bluidplate which is a glass one. I do this with Dreft (I don't know if it also exists in Germany) and then I rinse it like doing the dishes. After that I dry it with tissues. When I put the buildpate back in place I remove the dust which is laying on top of it and then I spray it with 3DLAC adhesive spray. Carefull not to much otherwise it is very difficult to remove the print when it's done:) I have experience. My printer settings with PLA are printbed temperature: 60 degrees celsius and my nozzle temperature is 200-210 degrees celsius. I don't know if you already do this but otherwise you can try it maybe.
The most important part: keep doing what you're doing because I'm freaking loving it!!!!
Wow this will be a giant in the air.... very nice. 👌👍
congratulations 400k i was super happy this morning
always happy when your videos appears
Am I surprised about your new project? Nooooo.....you are beyond amazing!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS, A380 FINALLY, now please Qantas livery would be the best
also first he's almost at 400k lets get the man to 400k and keep up the good work Ramy!
I love your projects
Solid work
3.8m wing span! Bro you are the real mvp! Raw3a
Your incredible at what you do ramy!! From the little Airbus a380 years back to this big boy, you showed me that if you want it, make it!!! Good job man👍
We gotta get you a bigger shop. You're the bomb, brother. Beautiful work!
GREETINGS from INDIA
Hehe
Helo... I'm subcriber from indonesian.... I like your creativity... good luck
Great project! Good luck to build it!😋👍👍👍
Omggggg my fav airplane💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Nice choice
wow, your 3D printed molding technique gets whit each built better. congrats 👌👏💪
I am excited to watch the build process for this one. Great work indeed. Very cool how your technique has improved and evolved over such a short period.
Dude you should build like scale military jets or scale propeller planes. This is sweet and I can’t wait to see it finished
Hello ramy this videos super. I m from uzbekistan. Let s go ramy👍👍👍👍😀
All the best man! You did a fantastic job with the A350! Excited for the A380
Stunning job !!! I see a lot of efforts in it. SUPER NICE VIDEO. Thanks for sharing this awesome
I'm sure some day you'll build a 747. Love your work man
Liked it without having seen the video. Ramy never lets us down.
This is a lot of hard work and huge dedication from your side, Great work Ramy!
Excited to see it finished
Maybe placing your printing in an enclosure will help against warping prints. Great video cant wait for more
