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.
