    I'd like to see 3D printed fuselages with foamboard wings, that to me makes a lot of sense.

    • @PiDsPagePrototypes
      @PiDsPagePrototypes 4 года назад +1

      It'd need some shaped structure to spread the loading, from the super thin 3D section on to the softer foam. If the 3D body weighs the same or less then foam, the extra space inside for equipment, and the option of printing in cooling ducts for the electronics, would certainly be an advantage, and then the ease of cutting or folding a replacement wing from foam out in the field to keep flying on a nice day.

  • @Gosuminer
    @Gosuminer 4 года назад +6

    There's one aspect where 3D printing doesn't "sit between foam board and balsa" and that is geometry. With 3D printing complex shapes don't mean more work, sometimes even the opposite. Round, aerodynamic shapes can be tricky to build with both foam board or balsa wood but with 3D printing it is just as easy to make as a cylinder with two wings. Also, you can make all the hatches, servo mounts etc. in the design phase so the parts come out of the printer with everything already in place. #letnoahfly4s

      @OzAndyify 4 года назад

      I've found that you have to order directly from Depron Australia. I've had no luck with hobby shops. Getting the contact adhesive (Por?) is tricky too so I usually use hot glue.
      I've made a couple of hybrids, but they are always too heavy. I think foam wing and 3D fuse is the way to go. Can also print nice sharp TE and control hinges. If only we could get some good EPP foam!

    Pro Tip for Noah: Adam Savage uses baking soda as a kicker and filler when using CA glue. Baking soda is natriumbicarbonate, this powder helps strengthening the seams when you poor it over the glued seams. Very suitable for foam, prints and balsa.

  • @InspGadgt
    @InspGadgt 4 года назад

    I converted to 3d printed planes about 3 years ago now and haven't bought a new foamie since. They can handle the power...I build mine for combat flying running a 650kv motor on a 6s battery pack and it keeps up with the nitro planes just fine.

  • @eulachonfish
    @eulachonfish 4 года назад

    Would love to see FT do a printed/foamboard hybrid plane. I have a printer, and feel like producing large surfaces like wings would be slow with many opportunities for failure (bed adhesion etc). Also not as accessible to those borrowing or renting print time and requires a lot of structural gluing. But using 3d printed formers under a bent foam airfoil or Monokote film - much less print time and much less weight as well. Add 3d printed spars, gear, cowlings etc. for the best of both worlds - quick to build, easy to repair, smoother airfoils and more realism!
    Also instead of gluing with CA look into welding your parts with a 3d pen. It works like a MIG welder for plastic.
