I printed the blades off of thingiverse and found the edges of the blade to be very jagged. Unacceptable. I printed with support, both with tree Auto and regular auto. I'm wondering what I did wrong? I used bambu slicer. Also used the special wall method called Arachne. Any guidance would be appreciated.

What layer height and material did you use? A smaller layer height with give finer detail. Different materials and manufactures do support better. I used Overture PLA Pro and Creality Hyper PLA for my tests. My blades had a rough leading edge, but while balancing them I cleaned them up a little, knife and sandpaper... they were not perfect... performed fine at 10,000 rpm... these are not high rpm props. Also there are all kinds of youtube videos on improving supports and part quality, you don't have to follow "airplane" settings to print this blade.

i had printed that prop from thingiverse. for some reason probably smoothness injected molded prop gave close to 100 grams more thrust than the 3d printed ones. it was fun anyway
@soarkraft 9 сағат бұрын
So if you got that much more, you were ether spinning it way faster than I did, or using a larger dia / pitch... did you use a folding prop for comparison or a standard prop?. I was comparing a cheap plastic folding prop to this 3D printed prop. A better molded prop might be stiffer than the material you printed with and as the forces increase the blade twists reducing thrust. The thingiverse prop is also pretty basic and a better performance blade design would help too, ie DUP, Falcon or Aeronaut... which you could put on a printed hub... but still keep the rpms down for safety.
@VIJAYzk 7 сағат бұрын
@@soarkraft I used a commericially avaialable carbon nylon prop (not folding). it is way stiffer and durable than the pla one i printed. i think i used the same dia prop for both (been a few years memory is a bit foggy). Looking back my tests probably were'nt accurate enough cause in a folding one the hub doesnt contibute to lift and also it had an angle to it that probably wasted some thrust force radially. The printed ones helped me save money though because all the initial test of the fixed wing i was working on crashed badly. And now you have shown how good they can be if properly done.

I'm thinking of getting back into slope soaring after many years off. I also have a x1c, so I came across this channel after looking into 3d print planes. As it turns out, I have an older FrSky- I never liked it. Based on the comments, the Radiomaster tx16s seems like a no-brainer for me as well as going with a 3d plane, since the printer cost is already sunk and I got rid of the foam cutting stuff. Sorry to see the crash- hope to see you on a Bay Area Slope soon

Fantastic Video especially for beginners to choose a Valuable printer.. I bought one year ago a BQ B1 which is capable of doing a good job (at lower speed of course) But to print a wing section with good quality I had to test, test again, change and test again then I come out with a simple solution I ignored at beginning: build an enclosure which solved many issues! I do not own a bambulab printer but knowing all the struggle to print some freely available planes I'd recommend to get a P1S instead of an A1 especially if you plan to keep the printer in a cold place in the winter ... Second factor the Slicer .. I struggled too much to try to slice properly 3DLab planes (Piper J3) in Cura (was bundled and recommended by BQ) as I was getting blocked with code sliced in Prusa Slicer which was sed by 3dLabPrints .. (for curiosity I can tell it was enough to adjust Custom Start and END G-Code but much more REMOVE tool switch custom G-Code that was pausing the print at start). Complete Different Topic: I love your planes as they fly really well and are well engineered, are you planning to project a "Thermal" glider ?? Some of your planes have good gliding capability not only on the slopes as far as I can see from your videos!!

For the PLAs I use the smooth PEI or Cool Plate, both with a little glue stick. The textured PEI plate needs too much temperature to stick dry, and adding something to help, like glues stick, can be inconsistent or stick too much. The textured for gluing parts together has not been a problem, even with thin CA… but depends on the spot.

That's an awesome idea - there are so many critical dimensions on a folding prop that I've always had to design a model's nose around a specific system, but printing lets you customise it. I've been printing spinners for a while, so this seems like a logical step. I'd be interested to compare 'good' commercial blades, like the APC folding system. The hobbyking ones have a strange lack of twist.

I just watched the video and I was surprised by the shout out. Haha. I have not downloaded the file for the hub, so maybe I'm premature and asking this but have you tried it with your T motor? I had to go ahead and recess the original hub to get it to work with T-motor as the shaft is not long enough. If not...have you thought about putting out a alternate file with a recessed section for that application. I can get it done in a CAD program but I'm not that skilled of an cad operator, Plus I've always questioned If modifying a STL file gives you a strong of a part as making the changes from the original file?.

Yep, "silent mode" that's what I did in the video for the foaming materials to make it a little better... it reduces the accelerations/speed, but only increases time by a couple of minutes. The A1 does slice differently in Bambu and Orca than the X1 and P1... slight variations... but different.

I have several Creality machines.... uhg... examples of reasons to wait: CR5 and the K1... over time they got better... but not a good start. The K2 is also big, huge, but not that much bigger print volume... I only occasionally need something bigger than 256^3, and never for airplanes. My CR10 Max - has been dormant for years. Even my 300 x 300 x 450 Sidewinders rarely used more than half there print volume over there 5 years in my farm. The Bambu printers are not perfect, but even after 2 years they are still one of the best. I love my P1S for airplane parts... though I love my X1C just a little bit more for work projects.

@soarkraft 11 күн бұрын
Look up ColorFabb LW-PLA or Bambu AERO, it is a filament that foams as it heats in the nozzle, changing the density and making it lighter. The parts are also mostly hollow, with oriented structure to print well but also hold the shape. Printing flat or xy makes large unsupported top surfaces of the airfoil… not good for printing… stand on end and the airfoil shape is almost perfect.

@soarkraft 11 күн бұрын
If they have it would be on youtube... do a search. Scale models, yes, fly-able models probably not. Resin printing works well for small precise stuff, though it has been maturing. For work projects I have used resin printers, and the parts always needs additional light box time, cleaning and bubbles were a pain... messy.... but you can get pretty fine detail. The resin also changes over time (like it dries out) and parts three or four weeks old were really brittle even with a clear coat. The polyjet machines do a better job, but still.... and the cost to get an industrial machine to print a plane would be $$$$$. FDM printing works really well for this.
