I am 57 years old and have been flying RC incl large jets for many years. I have now bought a 3D printer and I am so pleased to see a Young man doing this sort of thing and blending old skills with modern tech. Very well done I am sure you will go far in life
This guy comes up with some pretty cool stuff but half way through his videos I always start thinkin', I'm gonna get Rick Rolled any minute.
monkfry
Great... Now I think I'm watching Rick Astley 3D printing a plane.
Yep, RiCk Rolled!!!
Lol wtf
Hi Tom;
First, thanks for this amazing plane design!
It took me about 2 weeks to get the parts to 3D print on my PRUSA MK3S printer.
I have to admit the free PrusaSlicer software is an amazing slicer.
1. On the Fuselage front I needed to turn on “Detect thin walls” on “Print Setting” and “Layers and perimeters”. I also printed it 150% on the Z axis to make the nose longer for better center of gravity or CG.
2. I change the “Perimeters” to 2 and the “Solid Layers” both top and bottom to 0. This setting is also located in “Print Setting” and “Layers and perimeters”. The perimeter increase made the parts much stronger and only added about 100 grams to the weight of the plane. The 0 top and bottom allowed the male and females ends to go together. I added a 5 mm “Brim width” located at on “Print Setting” and “Skirt and brim”. I ended up printing each wing piece separately and each was rotated so that the female end of the wing segment was on the print bed. I also used a bit of glue from a glue stick to help keep the wing parts on the print bed.
3. To make the canopy fit the new longer nose, I ended up printing canopy X axis at 145mm or about 130%.
4. To assembly everything, I used a deburr tool, hobby knife and pointed cutters. I also used latex gloves when gluing the parts together. I recommend you taking you time when gluing the parts together and let sections dry before continuing.
5. The winglet prints with a small post at the front and 2 half inch wedge pieces about midway down the winglet. These get pushed through the material printed on male end of the outer wing section. You can use a hobby knife to cut away material to help the wedges to fit.
A few design changes that would be nice.
1. The inner wing pieces on the male side of the wing have both the front and back sections tapered to allow for easy fit into female side of the middle wing section. I recommend the same be done to the middle wing sections. I ended up having to cut these to get the pieces to fit the outer wing sections.
2. The rib support on the female side of the inner wing and outer wing need to be cut back about 1/8 of inch. To get the pieces to fix I had to manual cut away material to get a good fix.
Again Tom, thanks for a great design!

Disclaimer, I did not build this in its entirety. However, I did use your settings in conjunction with the ini files provided by 3DPrintLab to start building their aircraft, and you solved so many issues with some of your settings, Thank you so much for the asistance and I love your channel, keep up the good work. I will build this AC (aircraft) in the future when I get the trainer I am building complete. Thanks again for the assist!
Great job man! I've designed RC airplanes before, have a glider in some files around yet to build. But you man, have embraced the present and steered towards the future. Outstanding job.
That's what I call REAL AND FRIENDLY SHARING OF KNOWLEDGES! Thanks a lot Tom! Very instructive explanations and nice details of howto.
This design looks really refined after the "Will it fly?" version. Great work.
love the background sound effects.
i used 5% infill on the wings to strengthen it up a bit but have to chop out some infill so it all fits together properly. The nose cone I printed tip first for better strength and quality, only needs a little bit of sanding to make it nice looking surface wise, the canopy is a bit annoying no matter how you print it, it always comes out with squiggles so i printed it with supports touching build plate only and printed with support interface using lines as the support pattern looks tops.
I started printing version seven of this. It will take me some time to save up for the RC electronics as I don't have any. I wanted to do RC planes as a kid but was so expensive 35 years ago. I got to briefly fly this motorized plane that was attached with strings to a handle and promptly crashed it. Couldn't get my parents to let me try again :( Now I can 3d print a plane and the electronics aren't too bad.
mud stains = you actually fly it!
So cool tom !! Well done
Thanks Dani!!
This video helps a ton. I've been working on a design for very long flight times but I was holding back on aerodynamics to keep construction simple, and was not sold on 3D printing it, I was going to cnc some foam. I might do a hybrid.
Just bought a new Anycubic high speed printer. I have downloaded the files and will do a couple of test prints to see if the higher speed compromises strength. I am a few years older than the message below but totally support his views on your enthusiasm. Well done I will let you know how my test prints go.
I download the files in a bit and start printing as a project. Can’t wait m8 well done 👍🏻
Have you made it ?
Awesome wing. I enjoying seeing how you progress through your videos. Please keep up the good work. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
What the heck 76 people who disliked the video. Jeezus so unappreciative. Cool video bro, I really like the plane and the simplicity of the design. Do you have an engineering background by chance?
Just started on my journey of building this plane this is my 2nd plane I’ve made it’s grey PlA + spray painted place the plane is fun but I recommend that you fill the plane with light weight expanding foam this helps when you crash you absorb the Impack other than that great model plane 👍🏻👍🏿👍🏾👍🏼👍🏽
I have printed this thing over a half year ago, today I managed to get it in the air ;) It flys really great, but I made some mistakes at glueing it together, so it broke in half after a hard turn ;)
Sadly, I have no video footage from the first flight. I used a 2200mAh battery, whith this the CG is good enough and I even don't had to trimm the plane much. It was flying out of the printer :)
I used the Motor, which Tom suggested with a 20A Turnigy ESC and a 5045 prop, cheap 5g servos (will be changed to better ones) and organgeRX receiver.
haha - had the same issue - mine also broke apart midair, due to not fully dried CA. I wonder if Epoxy is better. It would also be nice to have a Shaft where you can put in a carbonfibre tube or something to stiffen the plane.
Cool video! Love the whole idea of 3D printing planes. AWESOME! the sky is literally the limit! And thank you for putting in the technical info as well.
Looks to fly really well Tom, good looking wing, well done. Look forward to seeing v2.
Hi Tom, wonderful project and wonderful results. This is the best 3d printed wing I've seen to date. I can't wait to see an FPV version and will be keeping an eye on this channel. Good work!!
Cheers, dave
A very well thought out design. I might have to build one of these!
awesome got my printer warning up right now to print this. awesome using quad copter parts I got lots of unused motors and ESC. Look forward to seeing an FPV version. thanks allot
This plane looks very good I will print this out ASAP!!!! thank you for the files, i am an freshman in college studying Aero as well so i really want to try my own 3d printed plane soon. In the mean time I need to practice. Great Channel Stanton!!!
StantonFPV great job bro. I've just ordered my first 3d printer. Cr-10 creality. Well excited man 🤘
Oh I've subscribed aswel👍🏽
Very nice! The build-part of this video is also highly appreciated!
Excellent wing! Thanks for sharing the files!
Thank you soo much! I was wanting plans since I saw the last video showing it was a proven design but didnt want to ask. Looks like you got all the details - You should name this, and get credit for the long run of this new method of plane building. Keep up the good work StantonFPV!
Awesome! Well done and thanks for sharing! Seven thumbs down? = people who thought it was full sized and could climb aboard and fly themselves to Bermuda.
Must print this when my Prusa arrives of ebay. This would be a good early project for me, I love r/c stuff and 3d printers are perfect for all kinda r/c models. Power pack should be cheap too, you can get a motor + esc of ebay for around £10 nowaday's, I already got a few 9g servo's so, it's like an r/c plane for £25. I bet they fly just as good as anything you can buy of shelf in model shop or online.
Great job. If I had a 3d printer, I'd be happy to try this out :).
You are a true rocket scientist lol. Top notch!
Cool design I will be printing it as I really like flying wings I have 10 of them from different places.
Kudos Tom,
Like how the rids are done!
Great job Tom... FPV version would be fantastic!!
Very impressive! Thanks for the tips on PLA as I tried 3d printing a glider recently and found it started cracking after a few crashes - will try higher temperatures as suggested, and also have bought some ABS to try.
Hey ! - great project !! made my day, was just about to get a foam version, when i saw this and was like heeelll yeessss - ps, i am an experienced prototypist and am passionate about modding and building anything i can get my hands on....however my rc experience is not quite the same case, but i fell in-love with this design.... so i am keen to get in touch and and happy to help work out FPV mods, redesigns and so on. - once again, big up to you man, really great wing and i look forward to following the progression
Hey that is fantastic, onto a winner there.
Thanks!
Guy, you awesome. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing this cool printing!!!
Thanks thanks thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job, and a really nice design. Once I have a larger printer I'll have to give this a try.
This is my 2nd print on my ender 3 pro first was a benchy I am already experienced in flying airplanes the fuselage is printing right now can't wait for it to finish
yes you get a thumbs up. your videos are getting very good!
Tom, finally got an ender 3 and I'm printing out the fuselage right now! This has been on my list of projects when I was finally able to get my printer. I modified mine to be direct drive, combined your recommendations and my modified profile and estimated 14hrs for the largest body part. Thinking I will do my canopy in TPU, run the same motor, and possibly an S6R, if I can't get an XM+ to work with an old FC. Maybe going to tinker with the .STL to allow for FPV - that should allow me to use the 1300mah battery without adding nose weight and fpv capability! Will post it all once I can get it up
How'd it go I got my ender 3 pro hooked up and my fuselage is almost done
awesome thanks for your work
Great job, now I have a reason to finally get a 3D printer 👍🏻
it flys really nice bud. Awesome.
It was more fun watching the previous version with drones chasing it all over the place. looked like birdies playing a game
I'm very impressed. Well done!
Excellent work. I would like to see another version with slots on the trailing edge of the main wing as well as on the front of the ailerons in order to fit in printed hinges. I think this would achieve more of a complete look versus using packaging tape - just MHO.
Hi Tom. I like the way you do it. It Seems easy. Good job.
You can set the light momentary Switch on your Radio to "Throttle Override 0%". Then it's easy to keep the switch pushed with your right middle finger with throttle in the desired position. Just let the switch go, and the motor will spin up. No mouth involved anymore :-)
This is sweet! Love how you managed to get the strength in your wings using regular PLA. @FliteTest should take a look at this!
ps - The sound of the jumbo overhead amuses me at the end :)
This looks cool, as i don't know jack about RC stuff or a great deal about my 3d printer, i will give this ago.
You should totally make a version which has fpv capabilities!
Hey weird suggestion idea. maybe you could instead of printing the wings only print the inside pattern inside and a place for the servos. then instead pull some thin light plastic really tightly around the wings and glue it? or something but I thought that'd save it a lot of weight. the insides of the wing will shape it very well as far as I can guess. tho I'm sure those food plastic bags are way too fragile and thin for this. but something similar could work :)
FPV version would be cool...love the Lil running launch....
just started experimenting with various temperatures for the wings cant wait to finish the whole aircraft
Finally managed to finish off all the parts now I’m moving on to the assembly of it all
@@harleyrawles6390 Do you remember how much did it cost in total? Including the 3D printing. Also, how much time it took? Thanks!
Cool, good job. I look at that and the first thing that pops into my head: "fragile". I know it's a 3D printing exercise but have thought about adding a really thin layer, or two, of fibreglass? Toughen it up considerably without a massive weight penalty. Could be too heavy I suppose, so ,double the size, give it two motors and the sky is yours!
Glider folks who usually have to glue their servos in like to wrap them with masking tape before gluing them, that way they can still be removed. Also, you might want to make a couple vents to cool your ESC.
Wow, love your work! Thank you.
You are a Genius....
FPV update?! :D plz! :D would love to see this as a FPV 3D printed wing :D
So the same plane with a camera lol?
replace the blue part that covers the battery and mod it to hold fpv
So I know that you obviously did this a long time ago, but I am just now coming across it, and it looks fun. I started printing it a few months ago, but then I ran out of PLA and had to wait until I got more. But I just got my next reel of PLA in today and so I'm gonna finish this off and hopefully have it in the air in the next day or so. I'll let you know how it goes.
awesome man im printing some planes now, this is on the list
i actually liked the idea of fpv :) COOL JOB ! ...you got +1 suscribers :D
Well I printed one, and having no knowledge of RC planes or 3d printers it went well looked good flew 20feet and took a dirt nap. hahahahahaha am printing another one. I love the idea of it.
Hello
Printing your design today
Many thanks for free STL
It would be great to have a smaller version, with a 2s battery and maybe a 180 dc motor. But great work!
Just started printing this unfortunately had to cut some models in half or more to fit it on the build plate but gonna use some dowels to keep it together will let you know how it goes such a cool design
Great Job in every Aspect!
subbed liked comment
Great job .... thumbs up
I happened to have that exact motor laying around, so that's all the excuse I need to print and try this out. I'll update you with how it goes.
This is great! FPV would be cool.
Wouldn't be hard; just redo the battery cap to have a mini FPV cam/transmitter mount, like those off of an Inductrix/TinyWhoop quadcopter!
The density of ABS looks to be roughly 20% less than PLA. Perhaps you could get a pretty good weight saving by switching materials. Also I believe ABS is less brittle than PLA.
ABS will most likely rip itself apart while cooling down. Thin wall printing is much easier with PLA. Let us know if you tried printing it with ABS. Would be nice to know if it is at all possible.
Sometimes the plane sounds like a big airliner! ;-)
We are allready printing it. Thanls bro.
This looks great! I definitely want to print one of these on my new CR10. It's my first printer, and I bought it immediately after watching your video on it, BTW. You should get a commission.
You are an impressive young man
Since it's so easy to crank out wings, you should experiment with different surface textures! Dimples, raised, hexagons, icosahedral. You could also mess around with vortex generators.
Nice buddy, great job.
You finally got this right! Well done, Bro! You remind me of Tintin!! 😂 Cool plane, and thanks for the files....
milou is missing at every video tho
8:55 Great sound. like a jet fighter
incredible man, thanks to share
Nice print ! :)
really cool. I'm just wondering why would you print this in PLA instead of ABS. ABS is much more impact-resistant, it's lighter (PLA density is 1.25 g/cm^3 while ABS is 1.04 g/cm^3, so kinda significant difference) and generally cheaper too. Won't melt in direct sun in the summer either ;)
It's probably what most people have laying around ;)
Hans Olo ABS is much softer/flexible, harder to print, prone to warping (especially with 1 wall thickness) and UV sensitive so yeah ABS could be good if used properly but PLA is just easier and simpler for most people.
because is toxic and hard to print. I think PETG is the best solution for this project
Well Done! I´ve been just printing one....great Brainwork Tom! ;-) With best Regards from Germany.
is it strong?
@@thercchannel5757 Not really ;-) you have to do something to make it "stronger". It´s not PnP.....
Very well done indeed!
coool!!!! Good work!!
Great work! I will definitely be printing this sometime late spring when I start flying again. Have you thought about releasing the CAD files as well and starting something like an Open Source Wing Project?
I'm not asking you to do so, it just come to my mind, because I love the 3D printing community and I'm sure people (haha maybe me too) would come up with some amazing little upgrades here and there. Thanks again for the great work and stl files :)
Very nice work !! would love to hear about an FPV version ;)
For PLA I use 215 and 60 for the bed with good results.
Great stuff ! 😀
FPV-Version would be great :)
Thank you
Info: it´s very important wich Slicer you use. The Wings are in great Structure with Repetier Host but the Fuselage is terrible because the Raft is totaly wrong sliced- this is fine with Cura to print....i´m impressed of your great work Tom! (sorry for my bad English).
I made this plane it flies realy nice using 3s
Decent design there :-)
i've downloaded it and will be printing it on my tevo tornado, me being the printer nerd ... will then test fir the printed parts and clean as required then mail it to my uncle who is heavy in the rc aircraft hobby
Nice job!
