3D Printed Glider Seagull

[HOQUIAM]

Thanks Guys,

I would still like to see what settings you are using.

One of my concerns is that Plane Print says to use a Temp of 230 to get good layer bonding. But the stringing
problem at that temp with this Silky Silver is almost impossible to work with. The Filament Spool says to use a
temp of 180 to 220. How low can I safely go and still have good structural strength?

Also Plane Print Profile 3 says to turn Combing Mode OFF.

Don't stick with what plane print says about filament settings. Always follow what you filament manufacturer recommend. From 180 to 220? A good start you can try first 190 195 and 200
What is the printer you are using?

Hey Rafael,

Thank you, my regular unzipper didn't want to do it for some reason!

Both of the profiles you sent are for LW-PLA, Do you have one for PLA?+

LOL - @Jarron had the same results with his electric. The glider is about half thr weight and flies pretty well. Aaron that flies at Tic reports it is actually fast. Mine flies, Bruce's flies. Think the rest of the guys will maiden at Sunset.

 

[thenated0g]

ill be sure to have a camera and a garbage bag ready

 

[Wayne]

Yep!! Mine already has damage - It is a super light.

 

[RafaelAvila]

hahaha that was fun hAHuahHUAHUa crash toss crash toss and crash again hahahaHAhHAHah

Are you guys bringing spare parts to Sunset? CA is getting expensive!

 

[Wayne]

Will bring glue and trash bags.

I have asked the local pilots to stop flying their birds and save them for the event as we are tired of printing parts for them. We have printed about 15 planes and given them away and then a couple of more worth of replacement parts. We are done printing seagulls!!!

But they are seriously fun to build and look great.

I'll go easy with you guys and fly my EPP eagle. It has some cushioning

I heard the Grey ones fly the best, as long as they don't melt in a hot car first...

Or as long as something heavy doesn't slide into them when you have to jam on the breaks in the car..
