A desktop model of the Saab/Boeing T-X trainer. The development begun in 2013 and at the end of 2016 the first unit flew, followed by the next unit just a couple of months later.
I havn't printed it yet due to a print-queue of more prioritized stuff, but earlier prints of a similar model turned out quite good. I'll update here with picture and more details about printing later.
Original CAD model borrowed from Justin Adams over at Grabcad, who has done a wonderful job of designing this aircraft, https://grabcad.com/library/boeing-t-x-1
Printer Brand:
Wanhao
Printer:
Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
0.12
Infill:
15%
Notes:
Supports must be added below wing and stabilizer, and also between a/c skin and the fins as the lower part of them are separated from the fuselage .
Otherwise, support shouldn't be needed, as it it designed to stay close to 45% overhang angle.
Be sure to use a lot of top/bottom layers (8+), as the front of the canopy might look somewhat ugly othervise.
