(We Are Now Working On Version #3 Of This Flying Frame.) check the link below or follow the remix link. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5191241 (Version#1 Notes) Made this model from a set of antique paper plans, was way more work than I anticipated, however i am very pleased with the results. im about 65% done with this build as of this posting. if i get 50 likes on this one Ill release all the individual puzzle pieces. there are few spots on frame that could use some clean up work still. if someone would be intersted in helping skin the model with realistic 1mm thick armor plating. or atleast an idea of how to incorporate the curves better then my current carving methods. any programs with digital plastic wrap effect? lol 12/12/2021: Making progress on skinning the tail section. sample pic added. the frame is actually providing structure to outside layer. stabilizer and elevators are now complete. gonna be breaking those pieces down for printing very soon. 12/13/2021: Ive uploaded version 1 in printable sections. this is not the final version, however, anyone who has built a traditional airplane from balsa will be ok from this point if they were trying to sand in curves and cover with iron on mono-kote. There are still some areas that could still use some clean up. 12/16/2021: Version 1 of this plane is made directly from scanning balsa pieces, however. as I am currently actually printing the full size version, there are some things that I think would benefit from a change since we are fabricating with a 3d printer. Weight is an obvious difference between balsa and pla plastics. the version 2 that I am currently working on hopefully will adress these issues: cut in curves, weight reduction, assembly tabs, providing cut out locations for servos and mounting hardaware, more precise dihedral ect. Feel free to remix and post here would love to see how others would approach this build. Ive cut alot of seemingly excess material out of the v2 fuselage. Ive uploaded the 1 piece model today. could probably cut even more of it out but dont want to risk compromising the structure. 12/18/2021: Special shout-out to the people leaving tips on this build. Thank you guys so much for your support, I was already motivated by the experiment alone but you guys are making this an even more enjoyable project, I go thru quite a bit of material on these projects, so every little bit helps. Thanks again. As for the update: Edited frame pieces 45 now available for download. Same concept as #3 to give us that removable bottom section to connect to the wing later. Build is going much better than I honestly expected for version #1 cant wait to fly or crash it. Either way we will learn something about 3d printed structures by the end of this. Enjoy:p 12/20/2021: Added Tail Rudder Fixed into downloads. Fixed the rectangle gap at the top of the rudder, fixed a few gaps created by initial export, and connected the support spar so it spans proper. 12/21/2021: Added Flap and Aileron wedges to the downloads. Nothing special just thin sized to fit wedges, just forgot to add them. I would suggest using foam board for these pieces tho if you plan on making a flying model. If its static it wont really matter I guess. I have uploaded Edited PrintableWingSection(0) fixing that gap between flap and frame. not a big deal but will save us from reinforcing that piece for a hinge in the future. the original plans dont actually show where these flaps have to be framed out, they just show you the size of the cutout and assume you will figure out how to frame them in. Twas an oversight in V1. I also spotted a gap by the aileron today. I will be editing that out later today, hopefully should be uploaded by tonight. If you have not printed this piece yet you might want to wait for the edit to save time in the build. If you have, its not a big deal, Im making sure all the parts are inter-changable between versions, you are just gonna have to reinforce that gap as well in a flying model. I also tweaked the cowl today, removed quite a bit of excess material and made it easier to access a brushless outrunner. I just uploaded that as well. Ive left some heft in walls tho. We obviously dont want a tail heavy plane, I will also be making a firewall later to mount in this thing, just not there yet. I really need to know the total weight before selecting components. Just added the Edited outer wings with aileron gap filled. 12/22/2021: I have been working on the firewall and motor mount today, I have test fit it in a few different programs and it seems to be ok. havent printed it yet, but i will upload, seems to slide inside the cowl without issue. Ive tried to make it as light as possible while keeping in mind it still has to be strong enough to pull the entire airplane and resist the torque of the motor without snapping. It is still around 40 grams at 20% tho 12/23/2021 First off. the motor mount printed very well first try. Wings in first upload have some serious export Errors, only noticing some of these today, when I tried to slice in cura they were giving me some real issues with unwanted gaps. I have completely redone the wing piece exports to try to solve these, and will probably remove the old files with the errors so no one makes that mistake of printing those. section3 was almost missing half a former for example. Fuselage is solid now, no worries there. compiling a whole new zip file that contains All the edited parts. 12/26/2021: I was gonna start covering the model today, but would rather delay. I have seen so many different ways to potentially skin this cat. i just cant decide yet. leaning towards a roll hangar9 parklite thermo coating Ive had sitting around for years, people flinging all kinds of ideas at me how to cover this thing some sound crazier then others. tissue paper and dope, monokote, packaging tape, tin foil please dont do this if u got radio. lol, lady nylons and epoxy, masking tape and paint, thin tpu, newspaper glue and paint, rice paper, fiberglass sheeting. yea. Im just gonna focus on making the landing gear today. lol the plan for landing gear is relatively simple as i want to keep it light. So no retracts unfortunately, but I want at the very least a functioning sprung suspension and steering tail wheel. So expect those to be uploaded shortly and leave the under area of former 3 on the wings uncovered for access in attaching these. Front landing gear is done and just now uploaded. Take the time to make something fly, you should probably spend time in making it land too. these will also reinforce your glue seam and give you something to further brace the outer wing spars on. uses 7/32 x 1 in extension spring for the ground adjust mechanism and a section cut from a piston spring used in common airsoft Aeg for the impact shock. Uses all 3mm screws. if you scale down they may not work and youre on your own for finding the hardware. I will work on a static versio Источник: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5161066 Автор: The3vilRoYcE Лицензия: Creative Commons - Attribution
