This is so cool! I tought TPU was too heavy? What is the AUW? I really would like to print one - great work!

[@geode_rc]

Thanks for watching. AUW is 780 g. Please refer to cults3d for additional details - cults3d.com/en/users/Geode_rc/3d-models

[@tublarge]

@@geode_rc 🙏- will do. Will print :). What tpu-hardness did you use? I got a roll 40D - will that do?

[@geode_rc]

@@tublarge Thanks ..🙏. I use 98A (~55D). 40D is too soft, not recommended.

[@mikebergman1817]

This would make the ultimate powered wing. Either center mounted prop, with a slot cut in the middle of the body, or a pusher configuration from the rear. Now that I have most of my first non powered version printed, I might try to mess with the modifiers and see if it could be done.

[@mikebergman1817]

This is so freaking cool. Did not know this was possible. Have you experimented with Colorfabb Varioshore much? Foaming tpu that comes out very light.

[@geode_rc]

Certainly worth a try to get as light as possible 👍

[@megatesla]

Foamed varioshore is way too soft for this

[@LuckyLAK17]

It is not the lift distribution that must be elliptic for minimum induced drag...

[@geode_rc]

Must be 👍

[@JohnkingDoiner]

cool Projekt

[@geode_rc]

Thanks 🙏

[@mikebergman1817]

I wonder if this could be launched as a DLG??.

[@geode_rc]

The stiffness of TPU is relative low compared to materials typically used for DLG. Not recommend using TPU for DLG.

[@anlpereira]

Can you share the files? I would like to print it. Thanks

[@geode_rc]

Thanks for your interest. Coming soon. See link for manual & test file for now:

[@anlpereira]

I thought it was for free. I would like to print it in LW-PLA. @@geode_rc

[@tomcarmody1189]

Any plans to manufacture and sell them ?

[@geode_rc]

Thanks for you inquiry.
3mf/stl file is available now at
cults3d.com/en/users/Geode_rc/3d-models
Please refer to your preferred 3D Printing service for manufacturing services

[@captainslow946]

@@geode_rc I just bought this model/files. There are no STL files, only 3mf...!

[@geode_rc]

3mf is a superset of stl. To get stl, please see FAQ in user manual or my RUclips file conversation video on how to export stl. Thanks.

[@udayansonawane7267]

You got the file fam?

[@geode_rc]

Yes, they are available on cults3d -

Did you use a pw foil ?

использовали аэродинамические расчеты в программах и все равно получилось нелетающее изделие -)))) Мозгов и опыта нет , не помогут вам современные калькуляторы . Палочкостроители мамкины . Нужно было 100 килей вместо двух в центре поставить и эллипс посерьезнее и качалки длиннее.
