I am 57 years old and have been flying RC incl large jets for many years. I have now bought a 3D printer and I am so pleased to see a Young man doing this sort of thing and blending old skills with modern tech. Very well done I am sure you will go far in life
This guy comes up with some pretty cool stuff but half way through his videos I always start thinkin', I'm gonna get Rick Rolled any minute.
monkfry
Great... Now I think I'm watching Rick Astley 3D printing a plane.
Yep, RiCk Rolled!!!
Lol wtf
mud stains = you actually fly it!
FPV update?! :D plz! :D would love to see this as a FPV 3D printed wing :D
So the same plane with a camera lol?
replace the blue part that covers the battery and mod it to hold fpv
Wich battery is used because i want to make this rc plane and the link of the battery in the discription doesn’t work anymore and wich transmitter and receiver do you used
What the heck 76 people who disliked the video. Jeezus so unappreciative. Cool video bro, I really like the plane and the simplicity of the design. Do you have an engineering background by chance?
Great job man! I've designed RC airplanes before, have a glider in some files around yet to build. But you man, have embraced the present and steered towards the future. Outstanding job.
really cool. I'm just wondering why would you print this in PLA instead of ABS. ABS is much more impact-resistant, it's lighter (PLA density is 1.25 g/cm^3 while ABS is 1.04 g/cm^3, so kinda significant difference) and generally cheaper too. Won't melt in direct sun in the summer either ;)
It's probably what most people have laying around ;)
Hans Olo ABS is much softer/flexible, harder to print, prone to warping (especially with 1 wall thickness) and UV sensitive so yeah ABS could be good if used properly but PLA is just easier and simpler for most people.
because is toxic and hard to print. I think PETG is the best solution for this project
Great job. If I had a 3d printer, I'd be happy to try this out :).
I started printing version seven of this. It will take me some time to save up for the RC electronics as I don't have any. I wanted to do RC planes as a kid but was so expensive 35 years ago. I got to briefly fly this motorized plane that was attached with strings to a handle and promptly crashed it. Couldn't get my parents to let me try again :( Now I can 3d print a plane and the electronics aren't too bad.
awesome got my printer warning up right now to print this. awesome using quad copter parts I got lots of unused motors and ESC. Look forward to seeing an FPV version. thanks allot
i used 5% infill on the wings to strengthen it up a bit but have to chop out some infill so it all fits together properly. The nose cone I printed tip first for better strength and quality, only needs a little bit of sanding to make it nice looking surface wise, the canopy is a bit annoying no matter how you print it, it always comes out with squiggles so i printed it with supports touching build plate only and printed with support interface using lines as the support pattern looks tops.
Hey Tom. Have your print files changed? He prints the wing parts completely closed, while they should be open to glue them.
You should totally make a version which has fpv capabilities!
I download the files in a bit and start printing as a project. Can’t wait m8 well done 👍🏻
Have you made it ?
I have printed this thing over a half year ago, today I managed to get it in the air ;) It flys really great, but I made some mistakes at glueing it together, so it broke in half after a hard turn ;)
Sadly, I have no video footage from the first flight. I used a 2200mAh battery, whith this the CG is good enough and I even don't had to trimm the plane much. It was flying out of the printer :)
I used the Motor, which Tom suggested with a 20A Turnigy ESC and a 5045 prop, cheap 5g servos (will be changed to better ones) and organgeRX receiver.
haha - had the same issue - mine also broke apart midair, due to not fully dried CA. I wonder if Epoxy is better. It would also be nice to have a Shaft where you can put in a carbonfibre tube or something to stiffen the plane.
This design looks really refined after the "Will it fly?" version. Great work.
Disclaimer, I did not build this in its entirety. However, I did use your settings in conjunction with the ini files provided by 3DPrintLab to start building their aircraft, and you solved so many issues with some of your settings, Thank you so much for the asistance and I love your channel, keep up the good work. I will build this AC (aircraft) in the future when I get the trainer I am building complete. Thanks again for the assist!
How about ABS wing with acetone smoothening to improve skin strength?
Hey that is fantastic, onto a winner there.
Thanks!
StantonFPV great job bro. I've just ordered my first 3d printer. Cr-10 creality. Well excited man 🤘
Oh I've subscribed aswel👍🏽
So cool tom !! Well done
Thanks Dani!!
how much kg of pla is used
awesome thanks for your work
This video helps a ton. I've been working on a design for very long flight times but I was holding back on aerodynamics to keep construction simple, and was not sold on 3D printing it, I was going to cnc some foam. I might do a hybrid.
1300mAh 4S is heavier than a 1800mAh 4S wat? 6:40
FPV-Version would be great :)
Sometimes the plane sounds like a big airliner! ;-)
Great project, thanks for sharing! I would love to use the printvolume of my printers wich is 300x300x400mm. Would it be possible to customize the stl files? I think it would be even stiffer. Pretty nice plane tough!
Great job Tom... FPV version would be fantastic!!
Great work! I will definitely be printing this sometime late spring when I start flying again. Have you thought about releasing the CAD files as well and starting something like an Open Source Wing Project?
I'm not asking you to do so, it just come to my mind, because I love the 3D printing community and I'm sure people (haha maybe me too) would come up with some amazing little upgrades here and there. Thanks again for the great work and stl files :)
Tom, finally got an ender 3 and I'm printing out the fuselage right now! This has been on my list of projects when I was finally able to get my printer. I modified mine to be direct drive, combined your recommendations and my modified profile and estimated 14hrs for the largest body part. Thinking I will do my canopy in TPU, run the same motor, and possibly an S6R, if I can't get an XM+ to work with an old FC. Maybe going to tinker with the .STL to allow for FPV - that should allow me to use the 1300mah battery without adding nose weight and fpv capability! Will post it all once I can get it up
How'd it go I got my ender 3 pro hooked up and my fuselage is almost done
The link to the push rods is wrong, it goes to the clevis
So ABS should work as well as long as the printer can handle it? :)
GO MAKERS!
It would be great to have a smaller version, with a 2s battery and maybe a 180 dc motor. But great work!
can you try build a smal jet plane? cause thinking of building a bomb plane
nice/good video thanks!
what a pity that the white wing was not good,..................... BUT!?
was not possible to save it??????
I think out loud now,
maybe a thin layer of glue? ..... maybe superglue?
or
perhaps varnish........or something that resembles
or
perhaps with a layer of tape........maybe shrinking Foly
I hope the Google translation is doing well?
friendly greetings and good luck with ......

How does the prop not break when landing?
Simon Hardwick when you turn the motor of the prop turns behind the wings because of the airflow.
So it does not break
The density of ABS looks to be roughly 20% less than PLA. Perhaps you could get a pretty good weight saving by switching materials. Also I believe ABS is less brittle than PLA.
ABS will most likely rip itself apart while cooling down. Thin wall printing is much easier with PLA. Let us know if you tried printing it with ABS. Would be nice to know if it is at all possible.
Hi Tom, i just finishing the 3d print on my own. What is the elevon trim set at for the test flight?
Hello, could you please link me the push rods that you used?? The actual link doesn't function. Thank you.
Which battery are you using? The battery link is not opening
does anyone know where i can find the 3d printing files for the FU2-RCWOLF?
Hello, I've got problems when I want to put the motor. I don't find any tool enough long to make it pass throw de fusselage. Can I now the name of the tool that you use to put the motor? And where did you buit it? Thank you
Must print this when my Prusa arrives of ebay. This would be a good early project for me, I love r/c stuff and 3d printers are perfect for all kinda r/c models. Power pack should be cheap too, you can get a motor + esc of ebay for around £10 nowaday's, I already got a few 9g servo's so, it's like an r/c plane for £25. I bet they fly just as good as anything you can buy of shelf in model shop or online.
Hello,
i am beginner in 3d printing and will build your plane. I will use PETG and my question is, can i take your values and only chance the Nozzle & Bed Temperatur? i have skills in rc, but i will it print well without experiments :D
Great project!
In the shopping list the Push rods have a link to the clevis?
As I try to source everything at 1 place will this do ok?

OK. I have zero flight experience. I have driven a rc car for about 22 years ago. So i will off course try to mod this because i am a plumber. Then i will post you a flight video. I think in may. We have some 40cm of snow right now. Ill be back.
Hi Tom,
i open the stl file , but the WingMiddleRight and WingMiddleLeft are the same.
I am wrong?
Thanks
Hard to say but it looks like the vertical stabalizers are not parallel with the fuselage. They seem to be tappered inwards at the rear. Is this done on purpose or was it just an optical illusion the way the camera is facing?
Hi sir. Please make the pylon racer plane version for using 4s 1000-1300mah lipo. With outrunner capabilities motors. Liked so much this one is fast as hell
A very well thought out design. I might have to build one of these!
Have anyone tested with 2200mah battery?
That's what I call REAL AND FRIENDLY SHARING OF KNOWLEDGES! Thanks a lot Tom! Very instructive explanations and nice details of howto.
Cool! What speed can you reach with it?
I got a 3D Printer ad :/
IRFZ44 me to
Hey weird suggestion idea. maybe you could instead of printing the wings only print the inside pattern inside and a place for the servos. then instead pull some thin light plastic really tightly around the wings and glue it? or something but I thought that'd save it a lot of weight. the insides of the wing will shape it very well as far as I can guess. tho I'm sure those food plastic bags are way too fragile and thin for this. but something similar could work :)
love the background sound effects.
Cool, good job. I look at that and the first thing that pops into my head: "fragile". I know it's a 3D printing exercise but have thought about adding a really thin layer, or two, of fibreglass? Toughen it up considerably without a massive weight penalty. Could be too heavy I suppose, so ,double the size, give it two motors and the sky is yours!
I have printed the plane, but when I put 0% Infill, at the start and the end of the wing Cura put me 3 layers of filament, why ?
Just started printing this unfortunately had to cut some models in half or more to fit it on the build plate but gonna use some dowels to keep it together will let you know how it goes such a cool design
Hi Tom;
First, thanks for this amazing plane design!
It took me about 2 weeks to get the parts to 3D print on my PRUSA MK3S printer.
I have to admit the free PrusaSlicer software is an amazing slicer.
1. On the Fuselage front I needed to turn on “Detect thin walls” on “Print Setting” and “Layers and perimeters”. I also printed it 150% on the Z axis to make the nose longer for better center of gravity or CG.
2. I change the “Perimeters” to 2 and the “Solid Layers” both top and bottom to 0. This setting is also located in “Print Setting” and “Layers and perimeters”. The perimeter increase made the parts much stronger and only added about 100 grams to the weight of the plane. The 0 top and bottom allowed the male and females ends to go together. I added a 5 mm “Brim width” located at on “Print Setting” and “Skirt and brim”. I ended up printing each wing piece separately and each was rotated so that the female end of the wing segment was on the print bed. I also used a bit of glue from a glue stick to help keep the wing parts on the print bed.
3. To make the canopy fit the new longer nose, I ended up printing canopy X axis at 145mm or about 130%.
4. To assembly everything, I used a deburr tool, hobby knife and pointed cutters. I also used latex gloves when gluing the parts together. I recommend you taking you time when gluing the parts together and let sections dry before continuing.
5. The winglet prints with a small post at the front and 2 half inch wedge pieces about midway down the winglet. These get pushed through the material printed on male end of the outer wing section. You can use a hobby knife to cut away material to help the wedges to fit.
A few design changes that would be nice.
1. The inner wing pieces on the male side of the wing have both the front and back sections tapered to allow for easy fit into female side of the middle wing section. I recommend the same be done to the middle wing sections. I ended up having to cut these to get the pieces to fit the outer wing sections.
2. The rib support on the female side of the inner wing and outer wing need to be cut back about 1/8 of inch. To get the pieces to fix I had to manual cut away material to get a good fix.
Again Tom, thanks for a great design!
Richard Boyhan
Sounds like you have an airport nearby...
can you please update the electronic list, they dont work
Will my elegoomars work if I chop some stuff and glue it?
Great job, now I have a reason to finally get a 3D printer 👍🏻
Which one do you recommend support everywhere or touching the build plate
Too bad this design doesn't have a spar
Info: it´s very important wich Slicer you use. The Wings are in great Structure with Repetier Host but the Fuselage is terrible because the Raft is totaly wrong sliced- this is fine with Cura to print....i´m impressed of your great work Tom! (sorry for my bad English).
which prop do you fly on this plane.
The prob on bangood is not availible anymore
how do you print the back of the fuselage
Great job .... thumbs up
bit late maybe, but randomise your Z-seam for stronger prints aswell
Awesome, printing one as soon as possible, any cheaper version of the electronics?
Just a thought, maybe your winglets should point inwards not outwards, unless they're straight relative to the forward-facing axis then nvm. It looks awesome, at first I thought your CG would be far forward but read the wing itself was pretty heavy. Awesome man, it's a very clean looking airframe.
Do you use solid works?
Just extensive solutions is past-past century! Very powered Buffalo with wings is not even funny...
Looks a little tail heavy.
Excellent work. I would like to see another version with slots on the trailing edge of the main wing as well as on the front of the ailerons in order to fit in printed hinges. I think this would achieve more of a complete look versus using packaging tape - just MHO.
Can anyone revisit this design with lw-pla
how much does it cost to print out a plane like this? And how good are they taking a bad landing?
Make please hang gliding rc 🙏🙏🙏🙏✌
Felicitaciones portu excelente trabajo. Donde puedo conseguir los archivos? Gracias
Why not print the entire thing at 215? Does that increase the weight??
a bit late for this comment but you should put some litle wheels on the bottom so its not a pain in the ass to get it to take off, cause it looks difficult using a controler with your teeth.
Brienne of Tarth had a son?
Just started on my journey of building this plane this is my 2nd plane I’ve made it’s grey PlA + spray painted place the plane is fun but I recommend that you fill the plane with light weight expanding foam this helps when you crash you absorb the Impack other than that great model plane 👍🏻👍🏿👍🏾👍🏼👍🏽
That's a nice small esc! I just got that big yellow one from bbggd. Should have gotten yours for my little planes. Does anybody know the make? I am thinking of buying a printer but I am still too cheap to shell out the 160 euros on black Friday, I have till cyber Monday to decide. Or until Brexit happens......
I made this plane it flies realy nice using 3s
Very Nice Project ! Super excited and just started printing.
Only got 1 weird thing... the "holes" in the bottom of the Fuselage are actually hole in 4 versions of the Cura Slicer and in the original stl fire they Aren't
Which slicer are you running ?
is it ok if you scale the size down and use a smaller motor and battery
Looking good that Tom, got the files, think I will give it a go. What's the printed weight of the air craft, just so I know how much PLA I will use? Regards, Ian
Ginger Ninja FPV
when I run .STL files thru the slicer program (before printing), it gives the amount of filament needed to print that part and the print time.
It has been around 4 yrs so make another model
You can set the light momentary Switch on your Radio to "Throttle Override 0%". Then it's easy to keep the switch pushed with your right middle finger with throttle in the desired position. Just let the switch go, and the motor will spin up. No mouth involved anymore :-)
not rly tuff right? i would put a aluminum threw all the parts
Awesome! Well done and thanks for sharing! Seven thumbs down? = people who thought it was full sized and could climb aboard and fly themselves to Bermuda.
coool!!!! Good work!!
Stanton do you think this would work well with the wing filled with builders foam? I'm thinking for added strength of using spars and builders foam so I can 6 cell it. any thoughts? thank you very much for sharing your design :-)
How did you manage to solve the Yaw instability problem from the prototype, because I remember the clear coloured one needed long balsa fins adding? I really enjoy your videos by the way. A man after my own non qualified physics and mechanics heart. 😊
will you plz update your web sites i seen at least 2 parts link sed sorry part not available i will be buying a 3d printer soon and i would like to try to make this. the printer looks like the one i am looking at for $799 maby it was not you vid tho plane was clear but as long as it works ill build it i have allways wunted to try to make some rc cars trucks boats and drones i realy need a ice crushing boat for the thin ice my small rc boats just jumps on the ice and get stuck I WUNNA BE A 3D PRINTER NERD lol
