We Made A Fully 3D Printed Airplane!! 🤯

[@RevUnstableBoy]

I printed a V2 out of glow in the dark PLA, then put UV LEDs inside controlled off a brushed ESC. have yet to fly it at night, but the whole plane can glow.

[@P8FPV]

Great idea any videos 😉 would love to see it

[@ToxicBologna]

Sounds like they liked your idea

[@lewisgower1954]

Guys, you've been doing this for years. You have put so much into FliteTest and done the most crazy projects. You deserve 10 million subscribers!

[@voyhager3]

I love how josh has been silently rocking the spektrum e line transmitters (dxe, dx6e, dx8e)

[@pieterpretorius1014]

i fly with a dx6e on my nitro planes. never had any problems with it

[@ezekielwoodward4452]

Excellent as per usual, also Dave, who is obviously sharp and into the project, has gotten so much more comfortable on camera, so good for him.

[@tarabussanich6716]

Should put a clock behind the 3d printer for those time lapse shots. And put a brake on the esc to stop prop when gliding.

[@ChainsawFPV]

I have been looking into these kits over the last few days and I must say, its nice seeing a print, assemble, and fly from a reputable place. You guys should def do a few more 3d printed wing episodes. They even have a mini Drak type on Thingyverse. Should do a video on one of those start to finish. Using one of your power packs of course!

[@arthursmith5252]

I really enjoyed that, you built something we can fly. You didn't just try to outbig yourself.

[@nickes6168]

I've been digging the classic music in the background. Super nostalgic.

[@ryanihrig7270]

I never noticed it until i saw this comment

[@richb313]

Josh actually seems genuinely surprised after return from Oshkos did you run into Juan Browne? Love the content guys especially stuff like this.

[@InspGadgt]

One thing I've noticed with my 3d printed planes, especially ones with such a thin profile like these planes or the 3dLabPrint Spitfire Mk XVI is that they cut through the air so well you have to let off the throttle 2 to 3 times earlier than you would expect to get them to slow down enough for landing.

[@fooman2108]

JOSH! you have to do some more on the twin yak with the fan in the middle!

[@mikbacitube]

All it needs now is a folding prop .... Great little plane !

[@bige6946]

And I’m still can’t wait until the big b-17

[@malm4640]

Are they making a b17?

[@jimross898]

"GitRDone Dave" A great addition to the team. Talk about rolling up your sleeves.

[@davidjester5085]

Thank you

[@ProjetoModelismo]

Very cool, I'm looking forward to printing my first airplane in 3D!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@jacobkrout1627]

Planes are so cool, P-51 Mustang is G.O.A.T.

[@stephenhudson6543]

It's fun watching those time-lapse pictures

[@microbuilder]

Love the design of the plane

[@rednecksniper4715]

Y’all need to do a big B17 Flying Fortress

[@davidjester5085]

😉

[@RobR386]

I’ve printed the model A, hopefully will maiden it this weekend if the wind dies down 🙂

[@Caktusdud.]

The answer to that question is simple, not as much as an a 10 warthog.

[@peterkennethnuevo7969]

I already loved planes but Flite test inspired me to get into the hobby a month ago, This hobby is too expensive for me but at least you guys make videos about these amazing and awesome planes with creative innovations and just by watching it's as if I'm experiencing it as well. Keep up the good work!

[@ryanturner9273]

Now that printed planes are in play you guys should do more battles

[@tapmad]

Try making the 3D printed eagle that's starting to get some air time these days. They're a big bird and look amazing.

[@walk4718]

Amazed at FT’s depth of broadcast talent. Good job.

[@tristandemello6147]

You guys should do the yf 23 rc jet that would be so sick I hope you see this

[@yaya123abc4]

Hellooo!!! Can you please do an A-10 Warthog vs A-10 Warthog dogfight? (The one with the bb machine guns in it?) That would be SICK!!!! LOVE U GUYS!!

[@mykhailophillip1323]

Ya

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

This Old Man from North Carolina always loving your videos. You guys are amazing with what you come up with. Love you guys. ✈️😎💝

[@emanuelmencks-meunier7911]

Can you guys make a composite plane using 3D printed molds in a future video??

[@globinboopin4226]

I think you should try to take down a big rc plane with many really small planes or like "missiles" made of reddi board tubes powered by propellers. I don't know, I think it is just a cool idea to think of.

[@crummbumm7834]

I would really like to see you guys design and build a 3D print plane from scratch

[@SpartanChief17C]

Please make a Monster Series F4 Phantom RC sometime soon!

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

Please print safe... put the printer in an enclosure, use a fume extractor / air filtration. 3D Printers put out a fair amount of VOCs and Nanoparticles. Check the material safety data sheets. Also, the CDC and OSHA give similar warnings about users near 3D printers in use. Be safe guys!

[@dwightdotson6569]

Hey you guys should do a series on planes that have graced the cover of popular science magazine over the years. Starting with the black and yellow one on the wall....

[@alphabravorc1003]

Yall should make a 3d printed speedbuild kit

[@furonwarrior]

I’m seriously thinking about getting into 3D printing after this. lol

[@DXmYb]

Foam looks so much easier than printing off aircraft lego. However it makes better planes by the looks of it.

[@imoheight]

they should build a BF-109 and a spitfire and have the two battle it out

[@harrybrotherton5108]

Man i miss the old flight test

[@roadstar499]

i think this would be nice at 75 percent size also... would still be decent size and a bit stronger since wall thickness can be the same...plus you can print the plane faster also...very nice plane...thanks for sharing

[@cayminlast]

I found my perfect answer for all the FAA rules and restrictions. I got a nice "Kite" with yards and yards of string/line, fixed a camera with a gimbal on it and 'presto', no TRUST test cert. or registration ect. Just go fly a FPV camera "Kite".

[@jeffkeith637]

3D printing. Putting the cost and complexity back into RC flying.

[@woodsmen3808]

Super Scoop fire fighting plane please. That woud be an epic build & you could make a sweet video with it.

[@GR-rx7zq]

This will be interesting

[@dihler55]

Hey guys, an even easier way to detach a 3D printed part is to use acetone as acetone does not attack the PLA but dissolves the CA glue you use to assemble the plane.

[@cjoe5977]

Acetone can cause some damage to PLA cnc kitchen has a video on it I believe

[@dihler55]

@@cjoe5977 well I done it quite a few times and nothing really changed but good to know. What I did is dip the blade of a hobby knife into the acetone and basically cut the glue as it dissolves so I'm thinking that not enough acetone is present to damage it.

[@thesage1014]

I wanna see y'all try to pull off a fanwing design!

[@jaxonrichards7818]

You guys should do a f-82 twin mustang

[@ashleym2878]

Something no one mentions about lw pla is good luck printing multiple parts. The planes are designed to print in a specific way adding multiple parts doesn't help and the stringing is more like blobs. I think I just need more printers 😂

[@Blaketarded]

You should make a flying v1 rocket

[@gusgeleynse9982]

You guys should make "Teachers" Skyly and the Sanka mk b from "The Sky Crawlers"

[@TekedixXx]

I wonder if you could get the same impact resistance out of PETG. Maybe the tough PLA is lighter? PETG is a copolyester and is very impact resistant. Some people say it's difficult to print, but I've never had any issues. Might be a good alternative if someone can't find a specific PLA blend, but still wants to print high impact parts. Layer orientation is also going to play a major role in part strength.

[@scratchinjack608]

I would think PETG would be heavier and less "crisp." What amazes me is this Light Weight PLA. In the end, I would thing, it is the engineering while on CAD these RC models for 3D printing is the key for light weight and sturdiness.

[@TheWebstaff]

Guys Chech out klipper and the accelerometer based tuning. It's amazing how good the results are!

[@savneetsinghrairai6823]

Good job amazing guys now a good 3d printer on my current wish list

I wish I could 3D print planes

[@notme9798]

Can you guys try to print a small micro plane almost the same size as those Asian ready to fly warbirds but only use a resin printer, I haven't seen anybody successfully print a plane with a resin printer yet. Those tiny little warbirds are awesome to fly

[@logi_bear0327]

can u guys make a series where u post vids of fans building

[@thatrandomperson8263]

I was wondering if you guys could make a Coleopter I think it would be a cool rc project.

[@rohanchandrashekharkammar1055]

It feels amazing when you guys upload a video ❤️👍🔥

[@thomaswaldorf9141]

Very nice planes

[@SamuelRodriguez-xz7nm]

That old guy looks like the voice actor for capt. price

[@muttbone01]

Where do you get all the hardware for these 3D "kits"? I'm not the greatest at figuring out those sorts of things. Does Eclipson send you a parts list needed to complete?

[@Studzilla-is-here]

So much fun

[@joedatuknow]

Love the videos thanks for the upload great video

[@Real28]

I know you might need some supports but I'd much rather the fuselage be printed in section flat instead of on end and same for wing parts. Why? The wings especially because the force applied to them will separate the layers much easier in the orientation you printed them. With the layers oriented like that, even with the rods inside (that's smart), you could still get the layers to delaminate. If you print the wings say, on their leading edge and just sand/finish that, now the layers will be long ways and the parts will be much stronger under load. But the orientation you chose is the quicker way since there's no supports. So I understand that. I'd do that in the iteration phase. But for final I'd swap orientation to gain more natural strength When it comes to 3d printing, you really need to pay attention to layer orientation when loads are going to be applied.

[@tarabussanich6716]

Interesting, thanks. Curious to see a test, and how much difference the print config makes.

[@savneetsinghrairai6823]

Trying useing 2212 T13 1000kV BLDC motor it has tremendous power to weight ratio , a 3s lipo with light less mah will do the job ,,as I tested it's best then more expensive ones

[@ApacheFPV]

What's the deal with Colorfabb being basically double the price of any other filament? I can get 1000g of PLA+ for $18 and its pretty tough material, but they want $45 for 750g? That better be some high tech stuff cause that's just the price when its on sale!!

[@oscarzt1652]

0:50 yoooo what???? is that a double Yak 54????

[@king_jacob732yt4]

now make a B-29 Superfortress

[@iotaprime2892]

Josh, you were pulling the radical maneuver. It's not fair to say, "You hit me!". More like, "We collided!"

[@davidmescher2526]

Paint swap!

[@mickeyg.c.1654]

Nice!

[@angelrc9869]

I like 3D printed plane.

[@lukeskywalker8577]

Just waiting for these plans to be cheaper

[@thebluestig2654]

So what would happen if you don't use the lightweight "foaming" PLA and just used normal PLA??? Would the models still be able to fly under the same power, would they be stronger??? I'd also love to see a test where as much of the plane as possible was printed, including landing gear, motor mounts, regular or folding props, and even using regular PLA for the wheels and flexible TPU for the tires. The only non-printed things you're allowed to use would be radio parts, servos, connecting rods, motors, and batteries. No CF rods either, you're stuck with BBQ skewers but only if absolutely necessary.

[@roadstar499]

this tough PLA is more than likely harder to print...i have printed SPla and getting it to stick to plate can be a hit or miss... it seems like same product since it is like PETG tough... thanks

[@sheanarochelle1]

What 3D printer is that

[@airhogfpv1283]

Love your Content since the Mini arow caim out, what an awsom plane with an ccd3 flightcontroller on Board, and now print airplains at home im 50 or less hours! Love the eclipson model- r so much! Printet in lw- pla from Colorfab in green and Black and White! With you Power Pack its a rocket! :)

[@aaronsbarker]

was the b-roll footage of the landing gear options from after the collision?

[@TheOneAndOnlyRandy]

getting 5% off on the model is fine, however if you live in the USA the LWPLA will cost you an arm and 2 legs to obtain and ship from across the pond... I'd rather get a discount on that than the model

[@ashvath4greninja]

Make a super slow plane and emergency landing with 0 throttle

[@superdon1chw]

I was wondering. Where do we get training to do 3D printing for old people ?

[@davidjester5085]

3D printing is a hobby all in its own the best advice I can give you is to watch alot of KZbin videos about it and figure it out by trial and error

[@jamesTBurke]

I'd find a way to combine em

[@m4vr1ck]

Can you 3d print a tiny whoop?

[@ridepate]

Where's more Freedom Foxes???? The container musta fell off the boat........

[@ephraimwilliams870]

can you please do a video with the ft Sportster or a monster ft edge 540.

[@ripmax333]

I don't think it would be that easy to replace that damaged part, you might try to pop that part out from the other but since you used super glue to attach those parts together there might be a good chance that you damage the other part in the process as superglue sticks very well to PLA especially to LW-PLA since its more porous.

[@Trent960]

Great videos I love watching your construct these beautiful machines I have a challenge for you though, have you ever thought about creating a Soviet Ekranoplan ? I think it's a really cool machine I think y'all would have fun with that I would love to see it.

[@lukedavid8099]

Are there plans released for the me262 or is it a speed build only?
