RC Components
ENGINE DUALSKY XMotor XM2838EG-11 GLIDER 1100 K/V Brushless Motor
or comparable motors.
You can also use any other motor variant!
NOTE The larger the prop the hotter the engine! Always remember that the motor is mounted
directly on PLA and use it only for short climbs. Or use a slightly smaller prop.
Check in the beginning how hot your motor is after the flight!
FOLDING PROP 11x6 (We recommend a Ø40 mm spinner with cooling function)
BEC-CONTROLLER 50 A (must fit the engine!)
RECEIVER 7 Channel
BATTERY 3S Lipo, 1000 MaH (The battery should have a weight of 400 to 450 grams)
SERVOS 6 pieces like KST DS215 V3 MG Digital HV or comparable
Dimensions (The optimal distance between screws is 28 mm):
23 mm max. 12 mm
max. 30 mm
max. 30 mm
max. 43 mm
Front mounting
44 mm
130 mm
The motor can also be
longer, but check whet-
her there is still enough
space for the controller
and battery.

Printing the parts – Printing profiles
For the new PROFILE P5_Gyroid it is essential to use Cura Version 5 or later, It will work with
older versions, but the weight of the parts will be higher and the printing time longer.
This manual is constantly being improved and supplemented, we recommend downloading
the latest version from our website before building.
The development of a complex, airworthy RC flight model to express on any stan-
dard 3D printer is a very complex and extensive process. Therefore, we appeal to
your fairness not to forward the STL data you have acquired to third parties.
Thank you for your understanding and have fun with your PLANEPRINT MODEL!
Important for the
1-wall-print (P3, P5)!
In order to print airfoils of the lowest possi-
ble weight with high stability, it is necessa-
ry to print with only one wall line (Nozzle 0.4
mm). Decisive here is the adhesion between
the layers! To achieve this, you must print at
a much higher temperature than normal. As
a guideline, 230° C is a good starting point.
The parts-cooling fan should be set to 0% or
a maximum of 20%. Since not every printer
works the same, it may be necessary to make
small adjustments to these settings.
For slicing all Planeprint
models, these profiles have
to be created in Cura:
PROFILE P1_Fullbody
PROFILE P2_Hollowbody
PROFILE P3_Surface (Not necessary for this plane)
PROFILE P4_Flex
PROFILE P5_Gyroid
You can find the description at
www.planeprint.com/print
PROFILE P5_Gyroid
It is essential for the necessary stability of the LW parts
printed with PROFILE_5 are as stable as possible. Please
use a test part to check the strength by fracture tests. It must
not break along the layer lines under any circumstances! Also
note that the printing temperature for LW-PLA is as low as
possible to obtain a wall thickness of 0.4 to 0.6 mm at a flow
of 60 to 70 % (depending on brand).
Caution: at too high temperatures, LW-PLA becomes brittle
and breaks more easily.

IMPORTANT Before you glue this part,
please make sure that the 8 mm carbon
tubes fit inside. They should be stiff at the
beginning and go easily after a few times
back and forth. There are small differences in
the diameter of the tubes. If it does not fit,
please reprint this part with slightly reduced
Horizontal Expansion (-0.1 mm or less).
NOTE This part must be absolutely stable,
because it absorbs the forces of the wings.
