Great to see you back Troy . Great looking warbird, flys great too . Seems to float in for landing . Seems these builds get better and better. How about a spitfire next time ? . Or even a FW190 to shoot down 😂. Great video thanks for sharing.
Flies so much better than the Spitfire as a model, more wing area....Looks fantastic TBF....🤔😳😳...Yes, the multi printing, I never understood why they didn't do this obvious solution years ago ...😳😏🇬🇧
Thanks for this video. You mentioned the feature for sequential printing is available in both Prusa Slicer and Cura at 1:00 but didn't mention how it is done in Cura.
Both of your talents put together made a really nice finish product. I can’t swallow the shipping on that filament. Makes sense if you buy multiple rolls though. Nice work.
I do hear you! It is great filament, and I think worth the investment if you print a few of their planes especially. The pricing is approximately the cost of another roll in shipping, like you said if you purchase a few rolls at one time is the best way to get the most bang for your buck.
@@TroyMcMillan I sent an email asking if they are interested in me possibly being a U.S. distributor but I haven’t heard back. Not sure of the demand but it was worth asking. I’d be interested to hear their reply.
Thanks for the matte acrylic paint idea. That paint is very inexpensive and widely available. Also nice nowadays not to have to worry about things being "fuelproof"
Your tutorials have inspired me to start printing planes myself. My first plane is on the printer now! Always great to watch your videos. Fun to watch and easy to learn from!
Nice job. Lovely build quality. I’ll add this one to my winter building. Thanks for the printer tip. I’m thinking of buying a Bambu X1 carbon this year to replace my old Ender3DPro. We’re messing around with 75% scale builds and PolyAir of 3DLabs Spitfire and P51D Mustang. Tip stalling is a major issue with these warbirds. A lot of learning still to be done.
I highly recommend this build! :) That's so cool you're experimenting with scaling them up like that. I haven't tried the bambu x1 yet! I will have to check it out.
Troy, I tried to print the piper and I did printed every part but the holes to put filament as a hinge is too small. And the hole to put the filament as the reinforcement of the wing is also smaller than a regular filament. Do you know what is my mistake??
Are you using LWPLA or regular PLA? Either way it has to do with having the flow rates too high, so it is printing the walls of the plastic too thick, so you need to reduce the flow rate. For regular pla, i print at 215C and 102% flow. For LWPLA, i print at 235C and 55% flow. I hope that helps :)
I import the 3MF file into prusa, which uses the settings that 3Dlabprint recommends for their planes. Here is a link to one of my videos that shows you how to do it th-cam.com/video/vCMJD2DdqGY/w-d-xo.html
I didn`t get very well about the Extruder Clearance height settings, I`m using ender 3 s1 plus, should I set a value bigger than my print area? (300mm) or should I concider only the head?
What propeller exactly did you use in this video? I will want to use a D2830 1300kv motor. A better choice would be the three blade propeller 8060 or 9060?
Great video I always look forward to yours. I have printed this model and now just painting it so your stencils will come in very handy thank you. I noticed that you have printed a better spinner for the 3 bladed prop which looks so much better could you do a link to the STI files, please. I have seen someone do half-wheel covers and a radiator scoop which goes well. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!! :) Half wheel covers would be an awesome scale detail to add, I thought about doing it. The spinner is from the eclipson Panthera, if you search for spinners in Cults there are a few free options that are actually more scale than this one though!
Question, being that I live in a 5th wheel trailer and don't have space for 3d printer, how much would you charge to print this plane out for me. I do understand I will need to get all the electrics for it.
Well, for this plane specifically, I used LWPLA because i wanted to save weight because this is a smaller plane and i want it to be as light as I could. In general, I don't use PETG or ABS for my builds because it has pretty bad warping, so when you are printing out thin parts I find there can be warping - which just doesn't happen with PLA or LWPLA.
Great build as always Troy. I just got some HT LW-PLA that I plan to try with this model. A couple of comments that others may find helpful...Personally I have a hard time with medium CA setting too fast and also just too much glue mess in general. I find using the Zap Slow CA with the Zap Flexi glue tips makes assembly a lot cleaner and easier. Also for the servo...personally I wouldn't use blue painters tape to hold the servo. Blue painters tape is almost a low tack tape so I would be concerned with it holding. I use Shoe Goo which peels off the servo just fine when it comes time to move it to another plane. But if you must use tape I'd suggest the 3M automotive mask as it is much higher adhesion then the blue painters tape.
Yeah I see that. They have it like that because one of the versions can be printed with no landing gear/belly landing model. that way its as customizable as possible to your preference. ☺
i checked out a few on amazon, i would say most of them look good on there. Here is one that looks like it would come with everything you'd need amzn.to/3Or86B9
Hi, congratulations for all your videos. Is yellow the original color of the filament or did you use a different shade? Is it difficult to paint with acrylic paint?
Hi Troy, your videos are the best. Question: I am 3d printing for 10 years now. I want to print the 3dlabprint Cessna because I like the model. Please can you give me your honest opinion which type of PLA I should use or may be better PETG. I asked this to Facebook groups but I get lost in their opinions. Now I see your lineup on youtube and you are the expert. Next / second plane(s) I want to try LW-Pla. Thank for helping me out. Regards Frank
You could... but it would increase the weight significantly, which would make you need to fly this plane fly a lot faster. It would make it more of an intermediate to expert level flying plane.
@@qtstrider pretty much any of the brands are good. eSun, ColorFABB or 3DLabPrint. I decide which one i use based on the color I'm wanting for any plane.
Nice job! What do you use to wipe away excess CA glue? Also, if you make a more accurate scale prop spinner, I think it would make the whole aircraft look even better.
troy, i am not a teenager, or adult, im a 10 year old person, i make fantastic plane models showcased by my school and other places, my planes never flew, it was a hand-flown aircraft, i made a B777 and a 738 once or twice, rn, i am making my first ever rc plane but quick question, i lave an LJ Li-ion 14500/500m Ah 3.7 V I, is that a good battery?
Nice to meet you, Glad to hear this will be your first RC plane. Unfortunately you will need a bigger battery. The EDFs use a lot of battery so the smallest battery I would recommend would be a 3s 2200mah battery.
I added a large battery, motor and MG servos to make this plane fly faster. I also added retracts which adds weight. If you wanted to make this into a lightweight park flyer, i would recommend building the one without landing gear and adding a smaller battery :)
@@TroyMcMillan Do you ever build composite models? I am building an A-350 from 3D printed molds. It is a lot of work. Designing is a lot of work. Printing is a lot of work, but it is worth it.

Since this plane is about the size of the cub you did a year ago i was wondering what the typical cost is to build this plane? Reason i ask is i wanna get into 3D printing and making planes and experomenting but if the prints cost more in filiment than it is to just buy it in foam version than im not sure ill build full planes with it. Id probbaly print stuff to experiment with but no one seems to have answered how much filiment is used but i presume most watchinf generally have an idea but i have yet to get a printer so not sure the cost of it all filiment wise.
I think the Cub cost me around $10 in filament (including some messed up prints and a crash repair), servos at 4x $2, receiver was $20, motor and esc were $20, and the battery was $15, prop was $7. A bottle of medium CA was $10. I think that is $90 USD total. You need LWPLA, PLA, PETG, and some TPU filament on hand. I am printing the Hurricane now. Don't forget the value of being able to print and replace stuff you break too.
@flynbenny thanks for that, probably going to order a printer and get learning because that is very economical for planes especially like you said printing new parts if you crash is helpful. Plus I have a ton of stuff around the house I wanna do.
@@DDRDK I think a 3D printer is the most life changing appliance I have had since a smartphone. I print a lot of other things than just airplane stuff, like household items for example.

Wow, great build man! I have been struggling so much trying to get my Bambu x1c to be able to print any of the models from 3dlabprint unfortunately. I wish they would come out with .3mf files that were configured correctly. Do you plan on getting that type of printer? I'm sure if you reached out to their marketing team they would send you one :) It would make the coloring of the models SO much easier I'm sure. Keep up the great work!
You can use the 3mf files for your bambu x1c you just need to import the 3mf file and then select your physical printer from the drop down on the right side of prusa. I show it on this video if you hadn't seen it! I hope it helps. th-cam.com/video/vCMJD2DdqGY/w-d-xo.html
@@TroyMcMillan unfortunately, I tried to use the method you suggested, but it did not work. For some reason the prusaslicer .3mf files are not compatible with the Bambu studio or orca slicer forks. Those slicers are pretty much required to run the x1c. The x1c requires an internet upload feature as well as custom .gcode from bbstudio and/or orca slicer.(due to missing a usb-interface option) I would like to see some x1c content if you can secure a machine! You seem very talented with slicers/CAD. Anyway, I will update if I figure out a fix from 3dprintlabs! so far radio silence. -Will
that's one of the coolest parts about 3d printed airplanes, you can take the finish work as far as you like it to be. If you want to take it straight off the printer, or if you want to sand it, it's going to fly great either way.

hi Troy, congratulations for your models and for your videos, your works are really very interesting.

@@TroyMcMillan I would say a 1400mm size dc3 with split flaps and retracts .I have seen the dc6 very nice .I may print one .I beta test lots of marks designs from 3daeroworke .just finishing up a all pla pond racer 1200mm 6 chanel and p51b 1200mm
@@jameswilberger that would be a great size, i'll keep that in mind when i get back around to it. I have been designing a new plane, i should have the video up on youtube in the next couple weeks - I hope you enjoy :)
What 3d printer do you use? What do you recommend?
Hey Troy, can you give the settings for CURA?
*( MASTER LAYANGAN )* anda salah satu orang yang sangat kreatif 👍👍👍🇲🇨⭐ 9:26
troy, what is the best 3dprinter you are using
Wow, great build man! I have been struggling so much trying to get my Bambu x1c to be able to print any of the models from 3dlabprint unfortunately. I wish they would come out with .3mf files that were configured correctly. Do you plan on getting that type of printer? I'm sure if you reached out to their marketing team they would send you one :) It would make the coloring of the models SO much easier I'm sure. Keep up the great work!
You can use the 3mf files for your bambu x1c you just need to import the 3mf file and then select your physical printer from the drop down on the right side of prusa. I show it on this video if you hadn't seen it! I hope it helps. th-cam.com/video/vCMJD2DdqGY/w-d-xo.html
I'll have to check out the bambu printer though, I've had a few comments on this video mentioning it :)
@@TroyMcMillan thank you, I will give it a try! And yes, you should :) I get my second one on Thursday!!!
@@TroyMcMillan unfortunately, I tried to use the method you suggested, but it did not work. For some reason the prusaslicer .3mf files are not compatible with the Bambu studio or orca slicer forks. Those slicers are pretty much required to run the x1c. The x1c requires an internet upload feature as well as custom .gcode from bbstudio and/or orca slicer.(due to missing a usb-interface option) I would like to see some x1c content if you can secure a machine! You seem very talented with slicers/CAD. Anyway, I will update if I figure out a fix from 3dprintlabs! so far radio silence.

@@shoodoo.poo. any updates?
Did you buy the nosecone separately?
Podras compartir el perfil que usaste con el laminador prusa sliser
I fly quads (fpv), always wanted to try fixwings.. I may start this build.. but try flying “foamies” first..
anyone knows what spinner troy used for the prob?
Ola tudo bem?
Da para imprimir em ABS?
can you link yours glue or what typle of glue you used to lwpla plz
I use medium Zap A Gap CA glue
Very surprised you didn't sand it, would improve aerodynamics a lot. Nice to know it flies well without that though.
that's one of the coolest parts about 3d printed airplanes, you can take the finish work as far as you like it to be. If you want to take it straight off the printer, or if you want to sand it, it's going to fly great either way.
@@TroyMcMillan You should look into René Rosentraeger, he has a channel on making massive 3D printed VTOL aircraft, very interesting and detailed stuff.
Yo did you print the nose cone?
Where can i buy the to filament in the USA?
can i print this plane on ender 3 v2?
How do you do the setting in cura
Cool
top demais parabéns!
Obrigado! 😊
Mano onde consigo o projeto 3D?
Why don't you make bigger planes, 1/4 scale for example?
Hello Sir, Pray you get this comment. I have a v3-plus my kids got me . I would greatly appreciate it if you would download: settings,, prefoam or foaming PLA,, build instructions. Retired and getting up there in age. I have both prefoamed and foaming, kids say foaming not good to be around. Thank you in advance, Scouts Out.
I'm a horrible artist. Painting seems like the hardest part!
😅
I am too!! That's why i have my wife do it lol. She just has me print out an extra section so she can test paint on it.
Hi, please give stl
hi here is the link to purchase the stl 3dlabprint.com/shop/hurricanemkii/
Edge TX would allow a nice slow retract with different times for each leg like the real thing...You guys in America are living in the dark ages with your old Spektrum radios....🤔😳😳😏😏😀🇬🇧
I like this comment! :D You're absolutely right that would be so cool to have them come up like the real thing. Open source transmitters are amazing.
@@TroyMcMillan You should try it, it's limitless what you can do...and if you buy a Multiprotocol Radio like the TX16S it will bind to all your old Spectrum RXs....🤔😏😏😏🇬🇧
@@EnglishTurbines I have definitely thought about it!! and a lot of the open source transmitters are less expensive too. It's something i could see myself getting into in the future.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Willing to pay for consulting fee if need be. Thank you in advance, Scouts Out
please share models in free it isvery costly
hi Troy, congratulations for your models and for your videos, your works are really very interesting. If I may, I would like to give a small suggestion, one thing that was very useful to me was sanding the surface of the model with sandpaper gradually finer and finer. consumption and aerodynamic efficiency of the model have increased greatly. You can see an example on this model (th-cam.com/video/DjOA52Slkq4/w-d-xo.html) that I designed, the video doesn't have the same quality as yours, I don't I'm so good .in case you are interested in the project I will be happy to send you all the files (for free).hi Troy and congratulations again ...
Your plane does look really smooth!
@@TroyMcMillan yes it is in the latest version I painted the model with spray paint and then I polished the surface with abrasive paste for bodywork, and the performance improved even more.
I printed one sorry to say it crashed and burned ..
