The supplied G-Code prints beautifully on my Bambu P1S using both Bambu PLA-AERO and eSUN PLA LW PLA. The eSUN filament sticks to the stock Bambu build plate better than the Bambu PLA-AERO. I am almost done printing the fuselodge and wings. Did you also print the landing gear in LW PLA ? Will keep you posted as my build progresses. thanks
@@markross5410 Thank you for the comment! I really spent a lot of time and money trying to find the best way to print them parts. No, the landing gear I printed out of PLA+. There are only G-Codes for landing gear in the “PLA or Pre-Foamed PLA” folder because pre-foamed LW, PLA, and PLA + use the same print settings. Same as with the TPU folder, just the tires G-Codes. Or you can print the rims and tires together whole out of just PLA+ Thanks for the update and taking the time to comment!
@@markross5410 Awesome thank you. I can honestly say it’s one 3D printed model you won’t regret purchasing. I also bought both my printers on Black Friday, but a couple years ago. I would definitely recommend printing it with the Active Foaming instead of the prefoamed. There is much less chance of breaking it because it is so light, and it flies really nice. Hope you enjoy it, happy holidays! Let me know if you have any questions or issues through Cults. I will try to do my best to respond to everyone in a timely manner. Also if you like my design, I am remaking my A-4 which is turning out real nice so far. I will post it when I’m done with a build and flight video. Thanks for your support, Bill.
@@markross5410 Personally I mix the thin and medium together because the medium I buy is kinda thick but really cheap. So medium. Also if this is your first 3D printed plane, make sure you use ABS or ASA for the motor mount, otherwise it will melt. I have tried PLA and PLA+ and they both melted, but not ASA or ABS. And I put washers on the bolts to the motor Mount to distribute the pressure and temp. Seemed to work well.
I have never used PLA Aero. I will have to get some to try so I’m familiar with the settings. Maybe run a part off using each G-Code and see which one comes out better. Wall width should be around .65 using my G-Codes. I believe I put instructions up on cults on how to adjust flow and temp using the print calibration part and G-Code.
@@markross5410 I did, and I didn’t see anything. I repaired the plane before the flight. My cats have damaged this thing by sitting on it more than I could in the air. I can say I have damaged it by taking the battery in and out. Next one I make, I am only going to put about four inches of Velcro in it starting at the forward dowel going forward. I put about 8in in these two planes and it was kinda hard to get the battery in and out, so I covered some of the Velcro with tape. I broke the platform above the battery compartment cause the Velcro adhered a little too well.
Bought the files off cults.... I've gotten planes from 3dlab print and eclipson and I do like the way this one is working out and is going together, but I have a K1 and the g-codes just didn't work for me.
@@1964markw10 They will and should work as long as you put them on an SD card or whatever slot your printer has. I have already come across the problem where Bambu studio and Anker Studio won’t load the files. However, if you bypass the software by putting the G-codes directly onto a SD card or USB flash drive they will run. I have helped solve this same problem with other people in the past few weeks. I highly recommend trying that. I wasted a lot of PLA getting the files to print how I want.
@@William_Holovich I tried that with PLA parts and ABS parts and they give me a code on my printer. Something in the g-code is flaking it out. seems to be fine on my Ender 3 S1 Pro.
@@1964markw10 I looked into the issue you were having with the Gear and was able to duplicate it on my end. Evidently, when I exported the STEP files into Fusion 360, then exported the parts into STL's, it created the artifacts on the inside of the gear near the bolt holes(Thus breaking the G-Codes also). I was able to duplicate the issue you showed me. I have since fixed the STL's, and fixed the G-Codes. I uploaded the files on Cults as version 1.3, and you can read the change log for a full list of changes. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

@@markross5410 What G-Codes did you use for the PLA-Aero? And did you try both to see which one prints better using the PLA-Aero?
Nice Flying Bill, Just got a Bambu yesterday. Think I will give your model a try.

@@William_Holovich thanks for the reply, I have a spool of Bambu PLA-AERO will give that a try. Also are you using thin or med super glue ?
