Free 3d printed P-51D Mustang build!

[@thetruth6299]

Started printing it a couple days ago! Can't wait to put it together!

[@RobertGRitz]

Sweet! Post the make on printables! What infill and wall thickness did you do?

[@scottshipley570]

I’m printing this plane right now, 120% bigger and it’s coming out lighter with 8% grid infill, and 0.4 wall thickness, still very strong 💪 the original settings are not optimal

[@RobertGRitz]

OK cool. I’ll have to try that! I’m printing another one in lw pls! See how it does. thanks for the advice if it works out good I’ll change it!

[@techead2]

How does control work? I've never done any of this but it looks great. The 'all the parts' listing also doesn't seem to include the rods?

[@RobertGRitz]

The ‘all the parts’ refers to a esc, motor, four servos, and blades, so you don’t have to buy them separately, the rods you will have to buy separately, you will need 2pc of 500 x 1.1mm rods, plus the 10pc 1.2mm rods, and if you are new to rc, you will need a transmitter and some battery! I am coming out will another video that will be little more detailed! I would have posted it, but I want to have it flying a bunch in the video and I haven’t got out to doing that! I also am thinking of selling kits with all the 3d printed parts plus electronics! So stay tuned!

[@thataussieaviator]

Should I use PLAaero/lightweightPLA or just regular PLA?

[@RobertGRitz]

I used regular this is exactly what I used:a.co/d/4JipknZ I am printing another one in gray also!

[@morkshanmedia3998]

It looks like much of the strength comes from rods so I would go for it just maybe add a little bit of reinforcement here and there

[@RobertGRitz]

@@morkshanmedia3998 Yes, I will be posting another video with that!

[@leorieg8692]

And where can I find the control?

[@RobertGRitz]

What do you mean by "control" if you are wondering about the controller I use, I use a flysky fs i6! Feal free to ask if you have any more questions!

[@leorieg8692]

That's right 'controller' my english not good

[@RobertGRitz]

flysky fsi6 I believe

[@cloudcamdrones]

Nice.....fly?

[@RobertGRitz]

Yeah, I printed 4 of these models and the one I recorded flying didn’t have wing reinforcements, so it fell off after the video ends! lol!🤣

[@HaqBrotherss]

Hey what battery are you using? I have a 3s 2200Mah will that work?

[@RobertGRitz]

That’s exactly what I’m using! perfect 👍

[@HaqBrotherss]

@@RobertGRitz oh wow perfect but does it even fly, no offence diddent look like it flys?

[@RobertGRitz]

It's cuz that one I never put the pins in the wing, I have learned the hard way and now I designed some, new video with this model flying is coming out tonight or Monday!

[@Sunny_19_19]

How long did it take you to print all the parts at once? I have the same printer (Ender 3 V3 SE). Thank You

[@RobertGRitz]

Just one night! I would recommend 0.6 walls and lightning infill 10%

[@RobertGRitz]

I’m going to update the g- code right now in printables

[@MrMindaSchmit]

did you design this yourself?

[@RobertGRitz]

No, but I really want to, every time I try to run fusion 360, my computer shuts down, I have an HP Spectre X360, which it supposed to be a nice computer, but it shuts down, so whatever.

[@MrMindaSchmit]

@@RobertGRitz if you didnt design it why are you linking the stls to your printables account?

[@RobertGRitz]

Because it’s a remix, if you look on the printable model, you’ll see the original one

[@kbelavich]

@@RobertGRitz Hey Robert question for you on the canopy, I see that there are spots to insert magnets to hold the canopy in place. On the Fuse I only see a spot at the rear side in the fuse to hold the canopy in place how did you get it to hold in the front end?

[@RobertGRitz]

I had to cut holes to get the magnets in there
