E7A Wedgetail Early Warning Aircraft Model. It is split into pieces with alignment keys / slots for easy printing and reconstruction. The orientation and scale how you print I will leave to the user as every printer is different. See my printer settings for what I did.
Printer Brand:
Wanhao
Printer:
Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
0.2
Infill:
20%
Notes:
You will need to scale down to 20% for my Wanhao. I orientated all the parts so they stand vertically except for the radar which you can decide on the best way to print.
Depending on your printer you will need to customise some supports. The undercarriage is the trickiest part of the model to get right and not break off. Note that the wings have some small non manifold areas that I could not easily repair but it does not change the print.
All the pieces should just slot together. Add glue and you have yourself a E7A Wedgetail Model.
This model was built from a VRML model that I had. I have fixed areas that were too thin to print and obviously split the model into parts for easy printing. I added the slots and keys to make alignment and gluing easy. Have fun and let me know how your build goes.
