RC Components
RECEIVER 4 Channel (light indoor receiver)
BATTERY Micro Receiver battery (like E-Akku Team Champion 4 Würfel 4.8/150 Graupner SJ – 18 grams)
SERVOS 4 Micro or Nano Servos (3 without Tow Function)
for example: • Hitec HS 40 Eco Servo 4,8g
• Diamond D47
• PLANET-HOBBY ECO PLUS
• Stemedu Micro 3.7g Servo GH-S37D
• PICCO 8 DIGITAL SERVO
Required accessoires – basic equipment
Links to recommended accessories can be found on
www.planeprint.com/swift (scroll down)
• LW-PLA (cannot be replaced by PLA!), ~100 grams
• PLA or Tough PLA, ~20 grams
• CA super glue (liquid and medium)
• CA activator
• Foam board 3 mm uncoated!*
(or Foam like Depron, Styropor or EPP, you can see how much you need on the next page
–Such boards are also available separately in model shops)
• UHU POR glue (or another glue suitable for Depron)
• Carbon rod Ø1*1000mm, 3 pieces
• Carbon fiber strip (flat profile) 1*5*1000mm, 1 piece
• a few short pieces of thin steel wire, approx. Ø0.6 mm (for the linkages)
• thin smooth nylon silk Ø approx. 0.2 to 0.3 mm (Fishing line)
• Adhesive tape
• Self adhesive velcro tape
* These parts cannot be printed for weight reasons,
LW PLA is much heavier than foam.
• a few short pieces of thin steel wire, approx. Ø0.6 mm (for the linkages)

Cutting template for the Depron parts
Print out these two pages on A4 paper, cut them along the red dotted line and tape the
pages together exactly. Then cut out the templates for the wing, ailerons, elevator and
rudder. Fix them to the Depron board and cut two pieces from each (aileron and wing)
and one rudder and elevator.
IMPORTANT: the print must be set to 100% page size, so that the size fits exactly!

Printing the parts – Printing profiles
The development of a complex, airworthy RC flight model to express on any stan-
dard 3D printer is a very 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!
This manual is constantly being improved and supplemented, we recommend
downloading the latest version from our website before building.
To print all PLANEPRINT models you need to set some basic profiles in Cura
(If you use another slicer, please set the same parameters).
You can find the description at www.planeprint.com/print
For this model you need the following profile:

The following parts must be sliced with the Funktion Spiralize Outer Contour (Cura) or Spiral Vase (Prusa Slicer).
For these parts, only the outer wall (1 line/perimeter) is printed without Z-seam, no top and bottom layers.
It is essential to print these parts with LW-PLA!
Basic settings for LW-PLA: Please follow the instructions in our WINGTEST AND CALIBRATION TOOL
on our website for correct adjustment!
