An update of one of my older designs from earlier in the year.
Features filleted edges around the engine cylinders, rounded wheels, and updated landing gear. I have also uploaded the gcode file if you would like to run your printer after unzipping the file contents the .gcode file is PF-2(0).gcode. The "(0)" is there in the file name to make sure I didn't overwrite the master file exported from Inventor when saving the file in my printing software.
As you can see, the plane printed very well.
Printer Brand:
PowerSpec
Printer:
PowerSpec 3D Pro
Rafts:
Yes
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
.2 mm maximum resolution
Infill:
5% minimum infill and 20% infill maximum infill
Notes:
Keep in mind that with the maximum layer height of .2 mm, any layer height above .2 mm and you risk the wheels and propeller fusing with their axles. Set the number of shells/walls to the minimum number as to get the best resolution during printing. Have the supports be external only, no support material should appear between the wheels and the body of the plane.
To create this plane I started by building the right half of the plane, then mirrored it after all the details were finished.
The only part not included in the mirror was the propeller as it would have ended up fused to the body of the plane.
The CAD software I used for creating this plane is Autodesk Inventor Professional 2017.
