[@zg8626]

Just a few things that may or may not be of interest. My dad used to make GRP model yachts so I spent a fair few hours in my childhood holding the resin tin and watching watching watching: 1) When you have cut your cloth laminate layer, consider making a copy in parcel paper that you can use as a template for the next shell you make. You can mark the paper with weave orientation so you can get consistency and reduce cloth wastage. 2) This may not apply to the type of cloths and resins you are using but my dad had a roller that was basically a bunch of alternately big and small stainless steel washers on the roller rod. I think that this served to push the resin into the cloth and drive out any air, basically optimising the thickness and strength of each shell. He used a lot of chopped strand glass cloth and this roller put a pattern into the topmost layer of glass, optimising the grain. As I say, this may not apply to woven cloth. 3) Dunno if you have already designed this but you may want to put a flange into the mould of the other half so that the join is integral and thus stronger than a butt joint. The flange on the boat shells was a separate piece so that it could be removed to make extrication from the mould that bit easier. Cheers, Z

[@Soulstealer24]

11:50 it's called warping, it can happen to any large print but most commonly happens with abs. You have a very large print surface so I suggest cranking you're bed temp up to around 80-how ever far it'll go. Should do the trick

[@Soulstealer24]

Or build a raft and clamp the outer areas to the bed

[@abyssalreclass]

Also a heated build volume will help

I was expecting this one for a long time. Finally its here. So excited about the A380

[@martinmatola688]

Hello, carbon and glass have very different elongations. Carbon is really stiff and glass is able to flex quite a lot. If you combine galss with carbon in the same layup the glass is pretty much a dead weight, because it cannot elongate enough to take advanatage of it's strenght. By the time the glass elongates enough the carbon has already snaped in hlaf long time ago. It's better to stick with one or the other for the layup. Maybe you could experiment with some gelcoats for the molds. Might give you usable surface on some parts that you won't cut that many holes into. Keep up the good work!

[@EleanorPeterson]

Hi, Martin! :-) It gets a bit complicated because woven carbon-fibre blocks radio signals, so Ramy's mixing things up with fibreglass in the fuselage to ensure he can get a reliable RC link. In this case I think he's only using the carbon for stiffness and mass reduction on certain high stress points and relying on varying the weave orientation to avoid differential flex and (possible) delamination issues. Laying up wing spars for large (4 metre) RC gliders often involves combining fibreglass, carbon-fibre, and wrapped aramid (Kevlar) in the same mould. As long as you get the epoxy saturation percentages correct and the weave directions aligned properly (usually crossed at 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis) there aren't any problems with the different properties of the materials. In my experience it's beneficial to mix the different materials' properties when constructing spars, and the end result is tougher (but not lighter) than an all-carbon design. Ramy's done a lot of work with composites, so I imagine he's sticking with what he knows will work for him.

[@martinmatola688]

Hi @@EleanorPeterson , you probably didn't understand what I meant. I know that carbon absorbs radio waves, but one layer of glass on top of carbon structure will not suddenly make it radio transparent. I'm saying that if you combine glass and carbon in same layup, the glass is basically dead weight, because it doesn't contribute on transferring the load as much as the carbon, that has elongation smaller by an order of magnitude. I'm only commenting on what I know from my experience as aircraft technician and from university classes. Lastly, just to stay in correct terms. I follow Ramy for some time and I admire his work, but he still has a lot to learn about composite structures. And there's nothing wrong about that, we all still have something new to learn, I'm just trying to help.

[@lightpolebluelamaa4207]

What do you do with the molds after?

[@alexkafka758]

A tip to help your prints not peel is crank the temp up for the first couple layers and use a brim. The brim will be a lifesaver.

[@raymarshall6721]

I was spoiled by your other plane vids. Start to finish videos, now the anticipation will kill me 🤣

[@krijnmollee4379]

Hi Ramy I always like your video's. For the 3 mm gap in the 3D models due to the print getting a little bit of the buildplate, I always clean my bluidplate which is a glass one. I do this with Dreft (I don't know if it also exists in Germany) and then I rinse it like doing the dishes. After that I dry it with tissues. When I put the buildpate back in place I remove the dust which is laying on top of it and then I spray it with 3DLAC adhesive spray. Carefull not to much otherwise it is very difficult to remove the print when it's done:) I have experience. My printer settings with PLA are printbed temperature: 60 degrees celsius and my nozzle temperature is 200-210 degrees celsius. I don't know if you already do this but otherwise you can try it maybe. The most important part: keep doing what you're doing because I'm freaking loving it!!!!

[@BatuhanD.]

I can’t wait to see this in the sky. Love the video keep it up 👍

[@bradleycottrell5898]

[@KerimAkarpat]

Harika iş çıkartıyorsun, tebrik ederim

[@ZamanS.]

When you finish, you have to put both of your A-380s for a quick size comparison!❤️

[@Michallote]

Ramy, what you are experimenting with the molds peeling is indeed material contracting, higher temperatures actually make it worse as the delta against the environment temperature is higher. This is easily fixed with enclosures for printing. (Eliminates air currents and keeps temperatures even across long prints) You might have noticed that warping is so much worse during nights or winters

[@Daa253]

12:06 3D printers are known to warp the print a little sometimes. Also could be bed warp. One of the ways to reduce it is to use a glass bed on the printer.

[@nigelw.9043]

Amazing work. I am into radio sailing and build high performance race yachts but what you are doing - stunning. Small tip - when working with wet Epoxy make sure to wear Nitril gloves. Latex gloves do not protect you are vapors get through. Epoxy is really, really bad for you as I can say from 1st hand experience having developed a severe allergy over time working with Epoxy.

[@drewbrown3082]

id never even considered the fact these large rc models were fiberglass and carbon fibre before i found this channel. I always assumed the large models would be over the weight limits and need no end of paper work but im considering getting a 3D printer now lol. Ive always wanted one and this would be as good a reason as any to get one

[@kevinsi5194]

As always, great work ramy. Have you tried using giroidal infill for the 3d printed mold? I think it may give enough strenght to make it withstand a vacuming process, it may help get rid of the small boubles. Gyroidal infill gives theorically an omnidirectional strenght to the part.

He won’t. It’s such a waste. He will probably also cover cover with vinyl. Customs builds such a nice plane and then finishes the like crap. I don’t understand why he doesn’t paint them and use real turbines. Make no sense.

[@chrisaviationrc]

@@Señorscuba what’s bad about vinyl? I think if you are good at using it you get much better results than with paint. But that is just my opinion

[@Smokeyr67]

@@Señorscuba running 4 gas turbines creates a completely new set of issues for no real gain. EDF’s work well, sound great and are far less complicated.

@@Smokeyr67 one answer is sound period. And you don’t have to use 4 you can use two engines in the inner and dummy fans on the outers.

Good luck Ramy. Can't wait for this one... PLA tend to shrink when cooling especially at the corners. When I print PLA I use 20mm brim. The brim lifts sometime but the print stays. In addition, I also use UHU glue stick on the build plate which holds the print very strong

[@JustPlaneChris]

[@johnogbamudu]

hello ramy, About your mold, apply about 10mm brim for the adhesion. and befor every new print, clean the bed properly with isopropanol that should do the job. if not, that means the room temperature is very cold. i wish you best of luck! cant wait to see it when its done.

[@mojust777]

would be too sad if only one piece is crafted out of your awesome molds and never used again

[@SirJohn2024]

If you want avoid shrink and detach at the base of the mold, use a very large brim in the slicer to fix the piece and use and use paper glue (like Pritt) on the printer plate... Works for me... Anyway, outstanding craftmanship... 👍

[@terryrsh8927]

@12:18: I have the same problem with large prints too, what I've found works well is to model large diameter circular "feet" on the corners, then apply glue stick to the print bed where those feet will print. The feet will hold onto those glue spots and wont allow the print to warp up

[@-Galavanta-]

12:00 If you aren't having any luck with a glue stick to keep your prints stuck to the bed try printing with a large brim? also with such long prints you should build a cabinet so the temperature remains constant (my cabinet is a constant 30c)

[@adamchow4299]

I haven't watched this channel in a while but this was the plane I was always begging for him to build I'm starting to watch again

[@fdoelmand]

With that mold shirnking, try putting a heat insulated cover over the printer. A styrofoam casing helped me with keeping the inside of the printer warm to prevent warping

[@normg2242]

Am I surprised about your new project? Nooooo.....you are beyond amazing!

[@bArda26]

hey man, great work. If you use Polyvinyl Alcohol , after coating with release agents, you can pump water into the mold(design a fitting so you can connect a hose) and the part will pop out like magic :) it's because water and Polyvinyl Alcohol react and result breaking bonds. Especially if you work with huge parts, bigger than your model, it can really help! regarding your print is lifting off; try adding brim for 2cm around at least. Use 3d print glue/spray as well. It's apparently due to temperature differential causing it.

[@fierceflyer5]

Ramy you constantly outdo yourself. Amazing! Maybe you can do a tutorial on how you change the size of the model on the computer and cut it so it will fit on the 3D printer. Have you looked into the Arc Welder plug-in? Makes printing faster as does using Klipper firmware. When de molding once you get a gap between the mold and fiberglass just use a compressor and shoot air in and it will pop out of the mold 👍🏻

[@michaelmelchior115]

Hey Ramy, awesome build-log, thanks for sharing it! The thing with the molds peeling off the print bed might be what they call warping. Had the same and it was annoying as hell, so I put a FR4 Plate onto the glass plate. That's the same material they make PCBs of and it helps A LOT with the adhesion, no glue, no tape required and warping is totally gone :))) Just keep the glass plate underneath as the GFK might be a bit uneven and the glass will help to level it perfectly well! Another nice trick: using octoprint on a Raspberry Pi to control the printer from your PC, but that's a whole other story ;)
