I'm hoping to finalize the tail and center fuselage sections in a month so I can atleast start printing/assembling/wiring those sections while I finish the landing gear and flap/spoiler mechanisms. I'm am far along, but I am in a time-consuming phase where the test pieces take 7-16hrs to print, so iterations can be slow. and venue may make this possible, at least I'm hoping. I thinks it's time to break away from their choices, and start making our own. I'm just sick and tired of being at the mercy of what models are picked for us by the manufacturers. I would very much like to have a calibration with folks like yourself and Rman. Going to try to get this F-100 model into the fusion editor, and start playing with it.
I was planning to use a much more traditional structural under laying.

What software are you using Dee? I just installed Fusion yesterday, looks to seem useful, but I guess time will tell. There planes seem to fly, so they can't be all wrong. I, like you don't see 100% why those guys design things quite like they do. Haven't really settled on which one just yet. Yea how is that plane coming along? Any progress? I'm going to order a 3D printer after all the Holiday Madness. I am not a fan of how 3DLabPrint designs their planes, so I am attempting my own, and it will be in ABS so no worries about sun or heat damage. Hey Woody, not sure if you saw, but I have a build log in the "Hangar" sub-forum for an A330 I have bend designing for 3D printing. Some designs other hobbyists have been working on.

Another thing is that the internal structure is offset from the outer skin by a very small amount, this is to preserve the finish of the outer skin, but it is still close enough to bond to the skin.Īlso, here is some inspiration for you. The second object is the internal structure. The outer object gives you the 1-perimeter thin skin, and you need to tell the slicing program to print no top or bottom layers, and zero infill. Basically each part is made up of 2 separate objects. If you do plan on designing it similar to the 3DLab method, they use a slicer "trick" to get the outer thin skin and the sturdier internal structures. : )Hey Woody, not sure if you saw, but I have a build log in the "Hangar" sub-forum for an A330 I have bend designing for 3D printing. I do have a little of experience in this area. I'm just wondering how long to design a nice bird for printing? Guess I'll find out. PS, if you go to the Grab-Cad site, and look at this.

So we have to figure out how to break this down, add the necessary structural re-enforcement, Mod it for a EDF, and other stuff. There is some French Aerospace engineer that did this, so it makes it good enough for me, LOL. I looked at quite a few, but this one really stands out. They're many, many more potential flyable models there in Grab-Cad.
So this weekend I'm going to do some tutorials on Fusion, and see if I can get this file into the editor, and begin editing it for making a 90mm EDF.
But very do able with a little time investment. If I remember right, we should be able to import this to Fusion 360, and begin making it flight ready. This is a very detailed F-100 Super Sabre. Literally millions of rendering files just for the down load.

It's a free sign up to access their stuff. However I did find a site last night called Grab-Cad. I'm wondering if you can create these print files using AutoCad. Going to do a few tutorials they provide in the next few days. Well I got my Fusion 360 loaded last night.
