F-14 Tomcat 3D printing foldable and print-in-place

STL, 3D print model - fab365.net/items/628
Support me. / goodesign
Finally, finally, finally finished.
F-14 Tomcat. It was finally completed with GOODesign's Foldable Print-in-place technology.
As I have thought and thought about it for a long time, there is a big distinguishing feature.
1. I designed a new 3D printed structure with moving wings.
2. Above all, for the first time in a scale model, the F-14's main wings can move while the flaps can move at the same time. This is the biggest achievement!
3. Exhaust nozzle can be assembled in two ways.
4. Almost all details are described.
5. The deck arrest hook was made movable.
Along with these attractive features, there are some things to keep in mind when printing and making.
1. Please refine the shape of the gear structure where the main wing moves after printing is completed. If you don't cut out some print defects, the main wing may not move.
2. The gear structure of the main wing moves well before inserting the parts covering this structure, so that it can move well by applying enough sewing machine oil or grease.
3. The main wing can move properly only when all parts of the airplane fuselage, excluding the wings, are fitted. Please refrain from moving the wing structure before all fuselage parts are installed.
4. The main wing must be inserted at a mid-level angle, and be fixed by applying adhesive to the protrusion, not the rotation axis.
5. The main wing must be pushed all the way in to work well.
6. The flap hinge of the main wing must be installed with the bottom of the print facing up.
7. The vertical tail fins are equal on the left and right sides.
Please check the video carefully for more details.
Now, I hope you can print and enjoy the F-14 you've been waiting for so long.

Awesome Details. Nice Sharp Panel Lines. Love it

[@GOODesignlabs]

Thank you for watching and comment~ Please enjoy!

[@RuToClose]

This isn't print in place. Sure you are printing it in place. But that means you don't have to manually assemble it.. Which you clearly do. Nice model though.

[@veloxsouth]

Absolutely gorgeous

[@GOODesignlabs]

Thanks for watching! Please enjoy~

[@CrazyChemistPL]

One potential improvement. The black pieces behind wings, they were sort of an airbag and they inflated or deflated depending on the wing position to seal the gap between trailing edge of the wing and fuselage. Since you already have yours as a separate part, maybe consider printing additional pair, slightly higher to seal the gap when the wings are fully swept forward?

[@GOODesignlabs]

Thanks for your suggestion. I will consider later.

[@apieceofstring]

Could even print it as a single flexible part in a soft flexible material.

[@edutaimentcartoys]

wow, good job... nice video

[@GOODesignlabs]

Thank you very much! Please enjoy~

[@VenkatVisvanathan]

Can you give details on the 3d printer used and the filaments? Any step by step instructions set details possible?

[@wolkaiserdrake9946]

nice model, but only 2 parts of the print are folded, not the entire thing

I WANT ONE

[@oguzylmaz6457]

I liked it very much, nice work..Can we use this stl with a sla printer?

[@GOODesignlabs]

I’m not sure. But, thanks anyway~ 😁

Please look up Jarred Isaacman's Mig 29 - I would LOVE to build a Fab365 Mig 29 and present it to him for his upcoming space launch.

[@acrewdog]

I got to see it a few weeks ago at Sun n Fun. That is one amazing jet. Of course, we need the whole polaris team, so ad d in the Alpha Jets and L-39.

Hmm I didn't see the part where you assembled the landing gear? I think I figured most of it out except a couple pieces. Maybe an additional video..

[@GOODesignlabs]

I added another video for landing gear that I missed. F-14 Tomcat 3D printing foldable and print-in-place (Added landing gear assembly) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3jCiHmbrr2nY8k

@@GOODesignlabs awesome I think I guessed right except the small white piece. Thanks for the extra video

[@VictorHugoRC1111]

How many printers did you use?

[@GOODesignlabs]

I used about 4~5 printers to show to the people that various printers can print my design.

[@kamioukiba]

What's the model of the printer you are using?

[@GOODesignlabs]

I use Prusa MK3 and MK4. And creality ender 3 pro, ender 3 S1, KE, etc...

[@Mistraker]

There's a ton of little gray parts. Why are they split up on so many plates? Couldn't they be printed together?

[@GOODesignlabs]

To avoid support and for foldable structure design with moving wings.

[@gaveintothedarkness]

So is this Fab 365's secondary channel? Or someone that is reposting the videos for some reason?

[@GOODesignlabs]

The FAB365 KZbin channel is operated as a platform to share videos of all designers, and this GOODesign channel is operated by one of the many designers of FAB365.

[@CleancutCampersUK]

Love it. Please Please Please make a Eurofighter Typhoon

I used Grey PLA filament for body.

Partly print in place. 😅

[@darkracer1252]

exactly in what world is this print in place when it's 27 SEPPERATE prints. with 66 SEPPERATE parts. that all require post processing. do you live in disneyland or something? waste of time it was clicking this.
