PRINTING THE PARTS – PRINTING PROFILES
You may wonder why this 3D model is exclusive to CURA?
The most important thing with small RC model airplanes is always the size to weight ratio. The
lighter a model is, the better its flight characteristics and also the flight time is significantly increased.
With our unique design process, we manage to offer weight-relevant parts in a true 1-wall printing
process for both the outer skin and the filling. This allows us to save weight while maintaining the
necessary stability.
Here we show you how to make adjustments from a standard CURA profile.
For this model we need only 4, easy to create profiles.
It is important to follow the instructions from PLANEPRINT.com to slice the part correctly.
However, it can be useful to perfect your 3D printing by making some additional settings depending
on the printer and filament used.
The development of a complex, airworthy RC flight model to express on any standard 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. Our STL files are provided with indelible copyright water-
marks that can be verified at any time.
Thank you for your understanding and have fun with your PLANEPRINT MODEL!
IMPORTANT FOR
THE 1-WALL-PRINT!
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, four profiles have
to be created in Cura:
PROFILE P1_fullbody
PROFILE P2_hollowbody
PROFILE P3_surface
PROFILE P4_flex
