Printing the parts – Printing profiles
This manual is constantly being improved and supplemented, we recommend downloading
the latest version from our website before building.
The Blériot XI requires :
PROFILE P1_Fullbody,PROFILE P2_Hollowbody and PROFILE P4_Flex
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
PROFILE P4_Flex
PROFILE P5_Gyroid

Wings assembly
Mount the wings on a flat table or surface. Place something to
protect the glued areas, for example the backing paper of an
adhesive film.

Parchment paper
Adhesive tape
Wood glue
Water
Covering the wings
Tape a piece of Parchment or tissue paper to a flat surface
without wrinkles.
Dilute the wood glue with a little (little) water and apply it
like paint with a small brush on the underside of the wings.
Place the wing on the paper and weigh it down so that the
entire adhesive surface lies flat on the paper.
When the glue is dry, cut the paper
with some overhang (5 mm) along
the wing edge and fold it on the
bottom side and glue it with the
help of the brush.
The next step is to glue a strip of
paper to the wingtips, see picture.
Finally, cover the top side.
