As an old Gas RC guy this print your plane thing is the stuff of dreams 40yrs ago! Just ordering a 3D printer.. My kids are talking robots and stuff and will be really excited about learning 3d printing. We will not be short of ideas and stuff to design and print for sure. Thanks for the videos sure brings back memories. By the way APC props were started as a retirement hobby by a member of the club I was at as a kid. He would bring us props to test on our planes. Our once a yr club pylon race he always had the fastest plane😆
I’ve been watching and subscribed to your channel for a few weeks. Trying a 3D Lab Zero and it kills me to see how easily all of your pieces key together. Mine are always a struggle. Lots of help watching your videos and it’s getting better printing them but this thin wall printing is a steep curve for me. Thanks for the great videos.
Take care to avoid elephant's foot. The construction method 3dLabPrints uses has one side slipping into the other via a small lip. That lip is prone to elephants foot expansion and I found all mine needed to be lightly sanded down around that lip. They everything went together fine.
Depending on what slicer you're using, the horizontal expansion (Cura) is a very helpful setting for things that fit too tight (or not at all). I have to use it with PETG (-.02 average), but not typically with PLA. Might need to dial in the calibrations on your printer a bit.
Tom's Mustang... He actually owns and flys it, has been at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino CA. I got some good photos of it for reference since you can walk right up to it in the hangar.
Always great to watch your new videos Troy. Love the wing catch design. Excellent job .... Nice to see your missus get involved too. Most become RC widows lol. Really firing me up to get back into the hobby, but utilising the power of 3d printing. ... 🇬🇧
Yay...your finally getting around to some 3dLabPrint planes :) The P-51 is one of their earlier ones so they are a bit more difficult to build but the early wing ribbing design on this and the Spitfire MK XVI is still my favorite wing build.
The print settings are a challenge to say the least. Going to go back to it and try it again now that I understand the prime and retraction settings better on the upgraded direct drive.
@@wadebrewer7212 It is even more challenging if you print in PETG. I've printed probably a dozen planes now and I'm still trying to get the settings better.
@@InspGadgt I got the bright idea to LEARN in Silk. The first one may not be a flier to be honest. But man...im telling the look on the Eclipson P51 prints is EXACTLY what I wanted. Looks just like aircraft aluminum that hasnt been polished under light. If nothing else....print a wing section out of the stuff just for kicks. Running Geeetech silver. I think the overture silk prints better and has better layer adhesion, but the Geeetech is something else when you get it right. I'm wondering how a PETG Silver would look in comparison, I know it would be stronger and stand up to summer flying heat better. Thoughts?
@@InspGadgt started prints on the 3DLabPrint P51D first btw. Switched over to trying the Eclipson design. A lot easier with their ribbing design to print. The foil design seems a bit better than the 3dLabPrint design too. However, having the two in your hand the 3DLabPrint is more detailed and scale IMO.
Another excellent job dude!!! I'm printing mine on a Tenlog TL-D3 Pro. Could you please post a link for the decal labels that you utilize along with any tips. Please and thank you.
Been watching you videos for quite some time. Have followed your printing recommendations for LW-PLA and do not get what I would call "acceptable" results. I have built several different Eclipson planes, the Shark, and this P51 and in PLA all come out fantastic! Use a PRUSA Clone, Voxelab Aquila, ANYCUBIC Kobra and ANYCUBIC vyper all fantastic with PLA - no luck with LW-PLA yet... Can you PLEASE do a show on e-sun LW-PLA and show Eclipson A profile for LW-PLA and what a part should weigh and what it looks like UP CLOSE when you print it? Thanks
Great video! 3d labprint should bring out an LW version of all of these plane series (mustang, spitfire, me-109 etc.) Thumbs up for flying and filming!
Hi Troy. I just bought the Creality 3d Ender 3 V2 printer. Which software do you use to print. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us it's amazing.
Great build, it looks awesome and flies nice and steady.......I would love to see you do the p38 lightening from 3d lad print.......it lookslike an interesting plane, and challenging
I like your printed planes. When I saw 4.5 pitch prop with 1100kv motor and 3s battery I was going to say that it will be on the slow side more like a slow stick setup and will not fly well. Then I realized that you later switched to a 6 pitch and went for 4s and that is more like it. Best of luck in your future builds...
I'm surprised the masking tape on the servos holds well enough. Personally I use an old trick from my RC car racing days and glue them in with Shoe Goo. Shoe Goo holds through even the hardest crash but is removable later so you can re-use the servo.
Thanks Troy. Great video. I’ve built a whole set of 3DLabs planes and have also scaled down both the Spitfire and P51 Mustang. I’ll post some videos once I start flying again. Nice build. I’ll try TPU hinges next time.
Hey Troy i have and ender 3 v2, and im also a begginer at 3d print + rc planes, which of your planes you think is the easiest on the print assembly also flighting?
Hi Troy, how did you manage CG? Mine is after assembly very tailheavy and asks for ~70g weight at foremost position with 3s 2200 lipo. 4s seems too heavy to me. Overall weight of the plane with 3s is ~880g, quite close to your value. Thanks for any advise.
i bought this model a long time ago, really wish they'd update it with landing gear and some other modernizations to the design like filament hinges. broke 3 of the things landing in soft grass
Genial sigo encantado con lo que construlles Pero me encantaría que construlleras más cosas tullas. Tienes manos y cabeza para ello ya que eres muy bueno ya lo has demostrado otras veces me encantaría que hicieras un Viper jet es un avión genial y vuela muy bien Encantado de seguirte desde España un saludo
Every nxt project must be progressively 1. More challenging / complex ie 3 ch to 4 ch to 5 ch flaps to 6 retracts, lights shock proof retracts to these with.unlimited.vertical ..all these+payload, longer range 2. Flight & ground handling More dialed / locked in & crisp 3. Longer flight time & more robust
This was an amazing video. I am hooked on getting into this hobby. Do you have a video that talks about the transmitter, where to buy, and all the other parts. New subscriber. Great stuff.
you got it done. i'm back in the rc-air hobby, started with the piper cub (hey it's free so why not) now it's the f4u corsair's turn. i only don't get the wing tip right. the angle is so large that space is created at the last 30 layers. Does anyone have an idea how I can close it?
Trying to find a printer around $600, would love to get a V400 but obviously a little out of my price range. Anyone have any suggestions on a printer in that range that can pull the same or close to the quality of the prints he’s getting on these with his FLSun V400?
I don't know if this will be the best place, but I'm asking here, because I suppose there will be experienced people in the hobby... I want to try it, since I was young it has always attracted me, and now I have the possibility, so if you can recommend me a 3d printed model... with the following characteristics: that it flies slowly, that it is very stable, that it is easy to handle, and not very big... a... that it flies slowly... Thank you
Great stuff been watching now for awhile can you 3d print a plane for me I will gladly pay you this is beyond my realm of thinking I'm almost 60 and have a bucket list rc plane I would love to fly
Love your videos. What 3D printer would you recommend for best quality LW-PLA for someone just starting out on 3D printing airplanes? I have about 30 planes all homebuilt (some balsa but mostly foam board) and am a very experienced pilot and fascinated with 3D printed planes!
I saw all aircraft you build ..im your subscribers from Philippines..im also love doing drone ang aircraft.....i have diy drone but its broke..ang now i want to build aircraft..help mo for needed materials thank .. I hope you read this massage
the reversable front bolt of the wing is BS. touching the ground with the wingtip causes broken wing and fuse at once. also the rear printed plate of the motor melts after a while and the screws come loose. P47 rubberband is ten times better.
hello troy mc Milan, you are very good at making airplanes with a 3d printer, but until now you have only made model airplanes, I ask you why don't you also make a helicopter with a drone mounted on top of the blades instead of the blades? .I made it, "Augusta bell 206b" with large scale depron fuselage, 135cm long fuselage. omnibus v3 flight board with betaflight firmware flies very well and very stable. it turns like a real helicopter and once in flight you no longer notice the lack of blades. you could create the fuselage in 3d printing. I advise you not to make it small but a class º class 700 like mine. you would do it with more precision than my work done by eye and by hand. you would have a bunch of views for the novelty. in my channel I will publish a short video of my unconventional helicopter project or rather of my HELYDRONE. hello good job

Amazing bro. Your project never fails to amaze.
Were you able to put together your print settings. The ones that come with the files seem out-dated and I can't get it to work.
Wow so nice... perfectly good

Can you show the differences between the old pla and the modern designs of LW-pla planes (maybe s.th. like mustang VS Zero)?
Hello. I like your work very much. Will you prepare a jet plane project? For example, F-14, F-18, Mig 29, F-29
great work mate
Great job Troy. I have all the parts printed but haven't put them together yet. Mine is one of the yellow tails. 👍
No retracts? They've got so many available these days! And no rudder??? Fun build tho!

addimp will be releasing a 1700mm SCALE P51D soon ,you should review that one
you got it done. i'm back in the rc-air hobby, started with the piper cub (hey it's free so why not) now it's the f4u corsair's turn. i only don't get the wing tip right. the angle is so large that space is created at the last 30 layers.
Does anyone have an idea how I can close it?
I wish they would reissue it with a working rudder though.
Where did you get the exaust stl?
I love your videos Troy. So this plane is printed in PLA and not LW-PLA?
I mean it sorta resembles a P-51D, pretty impressive as all 3D printed planes are but I don’t see why if designed in sections it can’t be scale
would like to see some more edf plans from your channel. f16 maybe. great job on you content, really like your videos.
flies nice. but 970 grams weight...and how much does an empty plane weigh without everything?
Hello dear! Is it possible to adapt a land gear in this model?
Nice! Should've printed it in silver silk PLA
I want 3d printer but i can't buy it anyway watching your videos is satisfied😊
Question, which software did you use to create the pieces?
Print settiing for creality ender 3 v2....you have ?
Thanks for sharing Troy. What was the knife you were using?
how do you deal with warping issue?
You should make their P-38!
BRAVO, BRAWOooo!
what kind of glue?
Another fantastic build! =) Nice work Troy!!
Nice build! Where do you get your Decals?
Impressive
very nice
Weird it doesnt have rudder control, you cant counteract the strong left turning tendencies.
It you love top gun you can try to make f18 or f14 tomcat. And that p51 si great and really pretty
I like this plane
Great video like always 💯 🔥👌

Look great in the air! What filament did you use for it? PLA or?? Haven't tried any other types myself so far.
Great stuff been watching now for awhile can you 3d print a plane for me I will gladly pay you this is beyond my realm of thinking I'm almost 60 and have a bucket list rc plane I would love to fly
Boat for fishing) print brother
Lovely design. Until planes are printed in ASA filaments I am not going to print no more planes in PLA or lwPLA. Mainly becos the sun deforms PLA.
No rudder??
No rudder.

Ender 5 Pro and add a direct drive conversion kit and a PEI bed. That's all you need.
Could you please make a. An225
I don't know? Something about how's its glued together at just the seams. Seems to me over time the super glue will degrade and get brittle.

Music its annoying
Top gun sucks. You prints are cool af tho
It’s flying pretty WELL, not “good”.
Hi Troy Ref the Creality and FLSun Klipper tablets…any thoughts on their usefulness with LW-PLA. Laurie. NZ.
Sorry for the extra post
Again sorry 😢
for anyone interested i have been approached by "troy" i would have won a nice gift but it looks suspiciously like a scam.
be careful!!
