C-17 the COOLEST 3D Printed Plane EVER BUILT!!

this is without a doubt the coolest 3d printed rc plane ever built!

Thank You!!

HOW TF DID YOU MAKE THIS MASTERPIEDE

[@simitarknut2201]

If you wrap glued in servos with a layer of black electrical tape, it makes them easier to salvage. All you have to do is cut the tape and peal the tape, then the servo can be reused.

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

He had tape on bottom of servos

[@TroyMcMillan]

Yeah, that is a great hack to point out. I do use painters tape on the bottom of the servos for that very reason, I like it to be very tidy and minimal for the video haha.

[@justinmurphy2227]

This looks amazing and so fun to fly! Looks like it just wants to fly too. Very good for new to novices flyers. When the captain rolled it, I was like, ok, I'm building this! I too have been missing your videos, but you did respond to my email fast. You make these videos and builds look TO EASY! I don't think most realize what it takes to make and edit a video like this. Capturing the printing, the build, and then flying, with voice over, OMG, all I can say is thank you! Then I just looked and you have sourced out and linked all the parts too!!!! Your family is so lucky to have a man of your caliber helping take care of them. Sorry for the long post..... Thank you sir!

very nice design and build. Great that you give the bambu labs settings. I have never been able to get a good light weight PLA print. The layers seem to just separate at the slightest knock. Maybe I just need to try a different brand.

Here is the setting for this design of plane. kzbin.infohanTCyoud8U I use 3D lab-print LW-PLA with 265c at 0.6 flow with the X1C printer

so you use the pre-foamed lw pla?

[@DaveMorgan-s7m]

I can only get eSun epla-lw locally. There is a 3-part Reddit article discussing settings. My issues came right when I limited the max volumetric speed to 5 mm2/s. Strangely, I get much better results with the white, but the black is a lot weaker. I lightly sand it and then coat with epoxy resin.

[@M-HK-]

I have 2 C-17 foam models that used 4-40 MM EDF units. I am currently replacing the fans/engines because the ones it came with are junk. I had one fan detonate on takeoff and 3 engines weren't enough to keep the plane flying. Since my C-17s are about the same size as yours I might try twin 50 MM edf units in it with empty outboard nacelles. I noticed that on your models, the landing gear sponsons are the same length (which makes sense aerodynamically) yet on my aircraft, the right sponson is longer than the left one. The reason the right sponson is longer is because the designers realized at the last minute that they hadn't placed the APU in the aircraft yet so the lengthened the right sponson while leaving the left one at the original design length. My C-17s are plug & play and a bit on the heavy side. Your aircraft look and fly amazing! Great job!

[@TroyMcMillan]

Ya maybe try duel 50mm in your and try to shed some weight off. Nice catch on the sponson. Yes I decided to adjust this from scale so that they would work more as skies to takeoff and land on. It does fly great the main reason is just due to how light the plane is. Good luck with your C-17s. Cheers

[@M-HK-]

@@TroyMcMillan Since I have two of the aircraft, I might make one a twin engine with 64MM fans and the other with 4 50MM fans. You can tell by the video that your aircraft is very light and responsive. My C-17s are much heavier and take lots of runway to get in the air with the original engines. My aircraft also have 18 wheels on the landing gear which add weight and drag for sure. Making your aircraft with equal length sponsons for landing instead of adding the extra weight of landing gear is just brilliant. It also looks cool flying with the "gear up" whereas mine always have the gear down as if it is preparing to land.

[@22lambo]

Love this build and plane so much! I think i will go ahead and try this as my first 3d printed plane. For the EDFs, do you think it matters if the motors spin in the same direction or should they be opposite of each other? I have a C160 and the two props are counter-rotating from each other so im curious if it would help on this plane with the EDFs

[@TroyMcMillan]

Yess definitely a great first plane to 3D print. Designed in vase mode so super easy to print. The EDF don't need to spin counter clockwise and they cant because the blades would have to be reversed witch is not a thing for propellers you can buy CW and CCW props and make one of the motor spin the other direction. But with EDFs you don't have the same P-factor turning tendency as props have. Have fun with the build!

[@22lambo]

@TroyMcMillan Thanks for the reply! I should have clarified that I didn't mean to reverse the direction of the motor, rather use a CW and CCW EDF, but good to know it does matter! Would you know what kind of flight time do you get out of the plane on 3s?

[@TroyMcMillan]

@@22lambo Ya true you could use a CCW EDF but it does not have much effect on EDF setup. So I would say if you want to and it is easy to get then yes but if not you definitely done need them to be counter rotating. As far as flight time on my 3s 2200mah I flew it for 4min you could put duel packs side by side and if you flew it on 50% or less power you could get at least 8min if not more.

[@darkracer1252]

05:10 i am confused. because a few seconds earlyer you can see you cutting it out and it being cut out before glueing it together.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Ya so there are 2 parts that need to be cut I only cut the part out on the fuselage part. The same area needs to be cut out on the vertical stab. I forgot to cut it out when I was glueing it together.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Ya I did take the X out but for these vase mode printed planes it works the best with those setting off. Good question on the ASA Aero they just sent some of it to me so I will have it out for my next plane.

@@TroyMcMillan The videos I've seen so far comparing the two have had interesting results.

[@PressPrint3D]

This is so bad ass! What brand of LW PLA are you using? Did you test one with 4 EDF's?

[@TroyMcMillan]

I use 3D LabPrint PolyLight LW-PLA (Light Gray) for this build. I have not tested this with 4 EDF's it would be so over powered the power to weight ratio with two EDFs is already twice the power needed so with 4 EDFs it would basically be a rocket at that point you could do vertical takeoffs. :) If you try it sent me a video I would love to see it.

[@Bbuzz8393]

Amazing work!! Genius how you use filament for the control surface hinges. I have the Bambu Lab and love it. Which slicer do you use?

[@TroyMcMillan]

Yes definitely give this one a try it is my best design yet. It take less than one roll of LW-PLA.

[@PressPrint3D]

How hard (or easy) would it be to add retracts?

[@TroyMcMillan]

Well anything is possible. I just preferred not to just to save weight and to trade the convenience of retracts for better flight characteristics. I figured someone would buy it and add landing gear to it if they really wanted to but I am going to keep it the way it is. It just flies so nice how light it is without gear.

[@pauldavidson747]

Hell yeah lets go ! Can we scale up the files of the 727 you made to make a larger rc plane ?

[@TroyMcMillan]

You could try but it would take some work to make everything fit correctly. It won't fit together as well as I designed it to.

[@maxun1]

Can you make son adapter like you did the dummy outboard blades, but for a propeller no Edf to made the aircraft more efficient for long flight, specially FPV with Inav installed. Will be a great option for FPV pilots.

[@TroyMcMillan]

This is actually a good idea and I was thinking of turning this into and FPV plane. SO just to clarify you are saying to make a motor mount that would hold a brushless motor and a propeller rather than using an EDF to fly it. The prop blade would probably be something like an 8in prop so it would stick out and be larger than the cowling.

[@darkracer1252]

the only problem i have with my bambu lab a1. is that a 1 hour print. turns into a 4 hour print even if all i wanna do is put some multi color text in the last few layers. that default color changing profile needs serious work to make it faster.

[@rcav8r2]

I have NOT tried this with lightweight PLA, but I imagine it would be the same as "regular" PLA . Instead of using CA, as I have found it be brittle on PLA, I use the same stuff the styrene plastic model folks use. Tamaya has 3 viscosities. I just use the thick and super thin. It chemically welds the joints so the 2 parts become one. In my limited testing, I found the print breaks before the joint.

I am not sure if you can on the dx9 but on the NX10 where the trim and directions pages are if you scroll over there is a speeds page and I just set the servo to a switch to turn speed mode on or off and then set the speed for each direction. I set it to 2s to drop and 9s to close to have time to set the rubber bands in place.

how does only glue give it enough firmness to hold up to the wind and stuff? Would a carbon rod or two help?

[@TroyMcMillan]

The plastic is actually pretty strong. There is a 3D printed spar printed inside the wing for strength. For a plane this small a spar is not needed.

Подскажите пожалуйста у вас есть эта RC модель под EDF 70mm 2.5kg? Мне очень понравился ваш проект, но я уже заказал с Китая EDF 70mm, а не 50mm...

[@TroyMcMillan]

Нет, я не предлагаю этот самолет для 70-миллиметровых EDF. У меня есть напечатанный на 3D-принтере CRJ900 или A321, в котором используются 70-миллиметровые EDF. Посмотрите видео на моем канале.

Saw that embry riddle verticle stabilizer did you go there?

[@TroyMcMillan]

No I did not.

[@Idontknow4]

@TroyMcMillan why did you make it any specific reason

[@RC_creation21]

Finally new video❤

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you!

[@rickwentworth6842]

Can you share a pic of the inside with receiver and battery setup?

[@TroyMcMillan]

Ya sorry about that I realized I didn't have a good shot of that. I will get a picture of that and add it to the web sight today.

[@humbertomontalban3932]

You should include the .mf3 files for those with the carbon just print. Will you do it? Plus the price in the website say 55 and then goes to 65.

[@TroyMcMillan]

I included both 3MF files and STL files for this build so that it would be even easier to print. Thanks for the heads up about the price I fixed it.

This was a great video to watch, I enjoyed watching it. Can you make a video showing your computer monitor and setup? How long did it take you to learn fusion 360?

[@TroyMcMillan]

Yes I get asked a lot about the CAD drawing stuff. I will release a video on it eventually. It does take some time to learn CAD. My best advice would to not start with airplanes to learn CAD, start with something simple to draw to learn the software first.

[@Hanger-13]

@@TroyMcMillan yes I agree with you about the learning cad thing. I wanna teach my son about cad and model airplane building. Great, great video loved . Thank you for what you do. We need more people like you. God bless you brother. Keep the vids coming.
