3D Printed Airplane

Intro: 3D Printed Airplane

In this Instructables, you can see the construction of an RC airplane 3D printed

Why did I build it?

I always wanted to have an RC plane, having never done I found the utility of making one thanks to a 3D printer.
The usefulness of doing it with a 3D printer and that in case of breakage, it is easy and quick to repair it.

STEP 1: What Do You Need

• 3D printed
• 1 Electric motor A2212 / 1400KV 10 T ( https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dTblalH )
• 1 Props
• 1 ESC
• 1 Emittrer / Receiver ( https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dTAZXgr )
• 1 Lipo Battery
• 1 Lipo Charger ( https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32800729065.html? )
• 4 Servo ( https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dZSOKwr )
• Tape ( https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/4000036158856.html )
• 2 Push rods D. 1.2mm ( min 500 mm) ( https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dY8oI1d )
• 2 Sponge wheel ( https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_d7Oacox )

STEP 2: Step 2 : Printed Part

The structure weight is about 430 gr.

STEP 3: Assemby Parts and Electronics

Now you need to assembly all parts with glue.
Put all electronics: Motor, ESC, Receiver, Battery

STEP 4: Ready to Fly

Now the plane is ready to fly.
The total weight with electronics: 770gr

You can see the first fly:

cool man i want to be like you but i am just a kid

It all depends on what you want to do.
If you want have a plane and fly it, you can start your learn on simulator.
If you want print a plane and fly it start your learn on simulator and not don't fly alone the first time

Could you share some more build details like what STL files you used, and the components? How you assembled it?

[thib02140]

Hello,
I have used the stl of eclipson : https://www.eclipson-airplanes.com/model-v
Printed with PLA classic and assembled with cyanoacrylate glue

Hello,
Thanks, for this plane I use this file:

I have print with PLA and assembled with glue

Cool. But did you design it yourself ?

Hello,
Thanks, for this plane I haven't design myself.
