Got this guy on my CR-10 right this moment. I'm really impressed at how you designed the parts to have no travel. So far all the parts have been a breeze (excuse the pun) to slice in Cura and get them printing. Now I need to find a nice slope somewhere in Maryland.
When you're starting a prop for the first time (since assembly) don't stand next to the spinning propeller. A potential blade throw is far more likely to happen when the retaining bolts 🔩 bed in while spinning up. 👍
Great looking design. What's that swipe action at 0:53 and 1:22, it looks like a wipe cloth? (treated?) Thanks for including the "polar chart" on the airplane page. Great to see how performance varies based on weight, and build material. Example being able to see the effect weight has on Minimum Sink Rate and Speed (29 vs. 36 kph). A glider is a case where there can be advantages building either lite or heavier, based on planned flying style. Nice that these design details are very clear.
No. We were just removing the excess of glue in the joins. Yes the speed polar is very useful to fully understand the effect of the weight on a glider.
Instead of carbon fiber tubes for the wings, would it be Ok to use glass fiber ones instead? the idea is to save a bit on the costs to purchase the carbon fiber ones, would be nice if I can use 6mm balsa spars as an option too.
Yes you can use any other material, just keep in mind that wood will not resist the same loads as carbon fiber. But should be enough for a non aerobatic flight.
Just finishing the V2...this looks nicer, a bit more room for the flight controller and GPS...This thing would make a great autonomous point to point machine I'm thinking...🤔🤔😳🇬🇧
@eclipsonairplanes can i ask which orientation you put in the servos in the wings? I noticed in some builds you flip it. If the servo axis is further from the ailerons (like this case) the moving action looks bigger but the horns needs to be shorter as they wont fit under the horn cover. If i flip the servo i have more space so i need to use the longer servo arm i guess to have the max action.
Hi guys, I was wondering is a model with this wingspan printable on Ender 3 Pro, you mentioned in the recommended printers section that CR 10 is more suitable for larger models?
@@eclipsonairplanes Indeed, but the timelapse shows multiple pieces at once on the buildboard, if I do that then I get terrible stringing between the pieces... Or is the timelapse printed in regular PLA?

She looks beautiful! What size motor are you using in it? I couldn't find it on the site. And are you running it on 4s?
Here you have it: www.eclipson-airplanes.com/standardpowerpack
3S is enough
Looks beautiful!
Nice work.
looks good, but not a lot changed from the V2? apart from the flaps and the wing mounts, a lot of the parts look interchangeable
Not really, they are different.

The model is very efficient and has a nice internal space. so yes will be good for autonomous flight.
the parts used at 1:37 for the flaps and ailerons aren't listed in the parts. They seem to be 4mm correct?
I guess you mean the axis, they are 3D printed. Sorry for the delay.
Motor size ??

If you use cover horn is better to let the horn closer to the aileron. If not, it doesn´t matter.
Замечательно!
Спасибо большое за такое видео!
How big the largest part? I have a Prusa Mini.
Here you can find the minimun printing size for each model: www.eclipson-airplanes.com/allplanes
Супер.! Жду когда будет в продаже.
Hi guys, I was wondering is a model with this wingspan printable on Ender 3 Pro, you mentioned in the recommended printers section that CR 10 is more suitable for larger models?
Also can Ender 3 really print all eclipson models?
All our models can be printed with ender 3, in fact is the printer that we use.
What is the min length for the elevator pushrods??
800mm
@@eclipsonairplanes Thank you, a lot longer of what I currently have. Will order. Thanks again.
Great video, looks great!
what is the diameter of the CF hinges?
Hinges axis are 3d printed
Is It pla or lw_pla?
LW-PLA. But his model can be printed with PLA too. It will be just heavier and faster.
@@eclipsonairplanes the 3D printing timelapse, I don't see any stringing! I can't do that with LW-PLA...? What is the trick?
@@mogwai1011 95% of the layers don't travels by design. In the areas where is impossible to remove travels you will get stringing for LW-PLA.

Nice design! Check out mine too!
