@@geoffreygower4911 1000g auw with 1 wall, 5% infill using PLA Pro

@@geode_rc good weight and need a bit more ballast when on a windy slope. Built a similar balsa/fiber glass swivel wing back in the early 90s and it flew great. All guess work then. Look forward to seeing the video. Cheers from OZ

Try Orca or Bambu Studio.

Waiting for re-maiden … stay tuned

Isn't that bad for the servos?

@@johannesgoetzen Only if you operate outside the servo spec limit

V2 will come with hexagon surface for optimized airflow under the palm ….xflr5 will be needed 😀

Guess in a few more year I’ll need to make a glider chair for myself😅

👍

My PLA "Bug 3DP" ~ 125g. With LW-PLA, 3D printed parts is about ~48g (plus carbon fiber & electronics for AUW). I'm thinking about 1104 or 1507 motor with 2S 350 mAh.

@@geode_rc Very cool. I recently saw your Bug DLG and am very interested in building one, but I'm a bit intimidated by learning how to use wing covering film. Time to learn a new skill I suppose

Then I'll have to activate my printers again😊

Thank you ! Yes, it’s designed in Rhino7… Before purchase, I would recommend review the free manual and RCGroups forum. Not everyone can enjoy the print/build process 😅

Great to hear you’re making good progress. PLA+ is ok , just be careful not to over shrink the covering film. Otherwise, the ribs might bend. Same for tail feathers. 6mm will be better….. 1mm wall likely will be heavier than Skyshark P90 tube.

@@geode_rc thanks for the advice. Will make sure that I don’t over shrink the film. As I’ll be using PLA +, will try to keep the temp lower when applying the film.

@@geode_rc I have started printing few parts and they came out quite well. Currently editing/remodelling the pod_rib_c1 to change the hole which is for 7mm tube to fit 6mm tube (as per the relative calculation am keeping the hole to have diameter of 6.4mm). I hope thats the correct hole size for 6mm tube. Thanks again for sharing this model. Any chance if 4-channel with aileron version for 1 or sub 1meter DLG coming soon?

@@cnsapam great know that you’re good at modeling. I use 0.2mm per side to compensate for the 0.4mm wall thickness in CAD. If needed, remaining thickness compensation is taking care at slicer. As for 4-ch dlg, I’m thinking about that… still long way to go though. BTW, if possible, please join us on RCGroups. It’s easier to communicate technical details on the forums with pictures/ graphics.

Yeh, as low as 12 mph wing is good enough 😀

Thanks for your interest. As long as the weight and strength is similar to Skyshark 7mm cf tube that will be ok. Use glass fiber or balsa to thicken to 7mm to help glue to pod2/wing and tail feathers. Have fun building😀

@@geode_rc Thanks for the suggestion. For the balsa Vertical Stabiliser and Elevator, how thick or thin the balsa sheet be?

1S 350 ~ 500 mAh battery will do just fine. Some nose weight might be needed depending on your setups

Best to use Orca slicer, otherwise you would need to export as “generic” 3mf from Orca/Bambu Studio, then open in Cura as “project”. If there is still problems, please share a picture ( preferably on RCGroups). Easier to debug 😀

If you’re using Cura, please just open as “project”. You can use latest Cura or older Cura 4.13. Both will work just fine. Let me know if this works for you. Thanks.

@@geode_rc If i can get away with it i am never using Cura. It is not a very good slicer compared to slicers like Orca, Prusa, Simplify3D... I have now looked in to Cura and i need to change settings in every single piece if i use Cura to make it work on my printer. That is a lot of time spent that i don´t want to spend. All because it is 3mf files. If it was proper STL files i would make a printer profile and just slice every file using that profile. 3mf files might be nice if it is used on the same type of printer you use. It is not a good way when the files you are selling are used on different printer. And don´t expect that every body uses Cura. Cura is a piece of software that noobs use until they see the light and move on. Sorry if i am stepping on some ones toes... The short answer for now is, no thank you i am out as long as there is no STL files for this thing.

@@geode_rc It might work if i spend the time changing settings in all the files. I need to change settings to make it work with my printer. 3mf files are not very practical. STL files are quicker to work with compared to 3mf. I am going to cut my losses and end this project now. And Cura is not a very nice slicer to work with. We need STL files that work in Orca slicer...

the 3mf files have all the settings required to print on Ender 3 V2. For K1, please modify printer specific parameters to get the best out of speedy K1. BTY, TPU needs to be printed slowly bc of flexible filament. 3mf is a superset of stl. Simply export stl from 3mf (see user manual & my YT video on how to export stl).

@@geode_rc I know how to print TPU, have been doing that for years. I know how to modify printer parameters. The issue here is that i need to do it on every single part. With STL files i only need to make one printer profile and then slice all the parts with that profile setting. In one way 3mf is a good format, just not for you are using it for here. Selling files to people, it needs to be easy to slice and print. 3mf is not easy... Why do you think that every body else that are selling 3D printed airplanes are using STL files as the end product? I did export from your 3mf, the STL file i got only works in Cura... This wing is a waste of money and time, end of story.

Thanks for watching. Design & construction video is available here - ruclips.net/video/eoSnLrfQoRs/видео.html

It's a tradeoff between strength and weight. Depend on how strong you like to launch.

Vital - Standard Valkyrie Span - 90 (cm) Area - 19.3 (dm2) Mass - 780 (g) Loading - 40.4 (g/dm2)

Thanks for watching. At this moment, this is not ready for FPV. A redesign of the front/rear end is required for FPV & motor.

Thanks❤

Not yet. I use 98A Shore hardness TPU with CF spar. I would try harder TPU if they’re available.

Thank you !

Not sure which one you referring to. Could you show a picture? Or time stamp on the video?

I know now. I figured it out.

👍

Thanks for watching

Thanks!

I got mine 15 yrs ago from local hobby shop. If you can’t find light weight covering film, try thinnest doculam (~2mils). I use that on my tail feathers.

Thanks for watching!

Not recommended. Likely too heavy.

Please see link in the video description for the files.

For a 5% infill PLA fuselage, roughly ~100g nose weight is required. This weight can be furteher reduced with a higher % infill in the nose section to reduce the lead needed or with LW-PLA tail feathers.

Thanks for your feedback. I've double checked the files. They are correct for both left/right sides. No change needed. Thanks.

Sorry, it’s closed already.

👍 … BTY, You can do it with PLA+ …. Check out my BUG 3DP in my YT channel

The green covering films I used is Solite. The clear film is doculam.

Yes… for slope soaring …. ruclips.net/p/PL9Pbd3mrLY1V5lDbKXBP0k-YYS6rrTWCN&si=tiKJRDUT9BaTQU-k

STL only will lost lots of information needed to print. Please open the 3mf file using Bambu Studio or Orca slicer. Export the STL from there to keep the info needed for "modifiers" & print profiles. It is recommended to use Bambu Studio or Orca slicer than porting the STL files.

This 3mf release is for Bambu Studio / Orca slicers. Please give it a try again. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response

Can you upload the STL please?​@@geode_rc

Thanks for watching!

Very welcome!🤗

Thank you. I use thick CA throughout.

Thanks you

This release is designed for Bambula Studio / Orca slicer. Thanks for downloading

I use spring and string even on 1.5M DLG. Never had any issues.

No decent DLG uses push rods. Too much weight and drag. Springs and strings are the way to go.

I have an eBug with VTail on my to do list. Stay tuned.

If you want to print a motorized glider, there are many out there to choose from. I’m glad this is a hand-launch model; we need more of those.
