How to Build RC 3D Printed ASK14 Glider - Planeprint

[@tonywright8294]

Think cats like the tranquility of the workshop ! My cat sits quiet happily watching me work . Excellent build A+

[@kishornikam-bhodanikar3869]

best aeroplane tutorial i have ever saw ....

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you

[@tomorrow517]

Fantastic build video! More complex than I thought, but what a beauty! Thank you for showing us the way.

[@jonwhittle8826]

Nice video, you said it was too long but i watched it to the end The tip stall is due to a lack of spiral stability, you were right that the tail seemed too small Two ways to improve things without making a bigger tail: increase the length of your tail booms or reduce the length of the nose (remember that the longer the nose is the more area is in front of the lateral centre of area and the bigger the tail needs to be), you could always do both

[@andrewsolomon2789]

Looks like a cool build. I would probably print a plane with ABS for the heat resistance or ASA since it's UV stable and has good heat properties. PETG and PLA will work for a bit but after a hot day in a car they will both shrink and warp. I've been looking for some interesting builds to do someday like this.

[@TroyMcMillan]

you definitely could do that! I usually just fly in the early morning or evenings before sunset, and then keep it in the shade while setting it up for flight

[@josephv5484]

Wondering why you didn't print it in pc?

[@pbshooter100]

Excellent video!! Love that you provided links to all the parts and tools needed to complete the build although some are unavailable but there is nothing you can do about that. Also great that you provided printer settings which is a great start for those who need to get their printer dialed in.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you, I try to keep a look out for products and check to make they are still in stock periodically. I hope the printer settings help too!!

[@BlabberizeYT]

So much elevator authority! It looks beautiful. Very cool.

[@MrAutospec]

Wow... that is the precise engineering right there!!!!!!!

[@fargonaz]

Just when I think you couldn't possibly go in to more detail... Thanks!

[@valefor666]

Yuri Boyka assembling an outstanding aircraft!!

[@Johnellenberger1]

I'm building a EGW-80 and I tell you it's not easy to get your printer set up right! Took almost a full roll of PLA to get it right. It is worth it though! Another nice build!

[@TroyMcMillan]

It does take a bit for sure. My first build I definitely had a lot of failed prints.

[@xxmastertriple]

Amazing project, I'm completely excited. Congratulations my friend.

[@terrencegoens1582]

I only used to print small parts here and there but since I got my A5 I've started using your techniques to get my thin wall prints perfect for my planes 🙌🏾

[@stevec7596]

You have these prints nailed!...and I know how much effort goes into that. Great job. I hope you get the eagle when it's available.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you, Ya the eagle looks pretty cool for sure. Exited to print that one out with no retraction.

[@av8za]

Awesome model and great print 👍

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you

[@wordzenpix]

Excellent job of editing to keep it succinct without sacrificing clarity.

[@douglaslewis1975]

I was really looking forward to building this glider, but I found out the hard way today that this plane can only be flown in the winter, at least here in the American SW. I live in Arizona, and it's close to 100F today. This morning, I took an Eclipson Model A (printed with regular PLA) out for its maiden flight. Before we could even get it off the ground, the wings started warping....it was literally melting. LW PLA doesn't seem to have this problem. I'm sure living in Las Vegas, you are very aware of this.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Oh, no... Definitely VERY aware of this. I fly only very early in the morning and keep the plane in the shade. It would be really nice to live somewhere a little cooler so you can take the plane out more often!

[@douglaslewis1975]

@@TroyMcMillan I notice you printed the wing of this glider using PETG. That would really help with the heat problem, but I can't seem to keep the wing sections from warping and pulling away from the base plate (Artillery Sidewinder). I was using the Overture build surface and hairspray, but that didn't seem to help.....any ideas??

[@aserta]

On your list of "plane shop" purchases, should either be the parts to 3d print a chop saw or a mini chop saw/table saw. I cannot overstate how useful that kind of a tool is for stuff like this.

[@warbuzzard7167]

Dude, you are amazing. Keep rockin' it. This looks like a hell of a flyer and I'm thinking maybe that PlanePrint's got the lock on quality designs over certain other designers.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thanks man, Ya this is an awesome flyer for sure definitely a fun one to add to the collection. Planeprint has really cool scale planes. I enjoy building his models for sure.

[@thinkflight]

Beautiful plane, love it

[@TroyMcMillan]

thank you :)

[@ripmax333]

it turned out really beautiful, if it had a clear canopy it and a pilot it would look even better. well done.

[@rcdavidk]

Another excellent walk-through. I'm going to be busy for the next year with all the projects you're showing. Thanks.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Let me know how it goes!! These are fun projects to have :)

[@VicAmor1944]

A far cry from using balsa kits, push pins, Ambroid glue, wax paper and lots of time.

[@AlexDiesTrying]

Now I'm googling Ambroid glue. I glued my first kit with Uhu Hart.

[@mikenowland2739]

Well filmed and explained . Nice glider 👍

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you

Your vidéos are so cool... it seems so easy in your hands, thanks a lot for your tutos

[@JohnnyJiuJitsu]

Damn dude, that was one serious build. Nice job!

[@leifvejby8023]

Regarding the spoilers - I normally wire the spoilers to the motor control, and the engine on an aux control, as the spoiler is the more important control. But it is looking great.

[@brivyplowman4620]

Thanks so much for sharing the stl's, NOBODY else does unless they pay dearly for them 👍👍👍 your videos are awesome :)

@@warbuzzard7167 Thank you WarBuzzard. Yes the link is to purchase the files I am not giving them away. Lots of work goes into the design of these planes.

[@RCPlaneAddict]

Troy, another solid build. Glad you had another success. I’m still struggling with the Panthera. But I’m determined to make it work.

[@SIDICOMP]

Good morning, I really enjoyed your tutorial video, well done, keep uploading more 3D construction and print videos.

[@EddieSlowhands]

Hi Troy - Great video and a super flying model ! I will now order the print file ! Thanks for such an excellent building video - first class. Looking forward to building and flying this beauty. Best Regards & thanks - Eddie - Uk.

[@misc5831]

Awesome Channel! What I find a little humorous is that the wheels are printed as well! LOL

[@jamesjusick1462]

PA glue fumes will polymerize on fingerprints, causing most of the fogging issues. Clean parts with alcohol and wear cloth gloves when handling parts where glue fumes will show.

[@MrZeek101]

amazing build Troy love the details great build video also looking forward to the next all ready take care

caro troy hai fatto un lavorone complimenti vivissimi

[@everythingrc5652]

I love your videos so much dude and I think I’m gonna start printing some of these planes on my ender 3 pro.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you, Definitely recommend trying out one of these builds if you have a printer. In my opinion there is nothing cooler than 3d printing an entire airplane out. Good luck with your build. Definitely this one or the Tucano is my favorite. Cheers

[@terrencegoens1582]

How long have you had your ender 3? I picked up a v2 back and December and had all kinds of problems ended up swapping out for a A5.

[@everythingrc5652]

@@terrencegoens1582 since December there are some annoying problems that are easy fixes, you can buy pretty much all the spare parts you need and I put a sky mini e3 v1.2 silent board in it and I will hopefully get the bl touch and a glass bed and then it will work really smoothly The key is to make sure your bed is perfectly levelled or that’s when the problems will happen.

[@everythingrc5652]

@Thomas Stautner yeah but I got an ender 3 pro because there is more upgrades and mods and I like the look a bit more than the v2 dunno why but also because there wasn’t a difference in the print quality and it was cheaper

[@PaulMacklinAmazing]

l would love to see you slope soaring this great model.

[@Hobi_gambar]

You are a profesor i am proud

[@parolesdelego]

Great vid! Just make sure that when you cut carbon fiber, you use a vacuum cleaner becanse breathing in the dust isn't very good!

[@mauritz1774]

You Can rewerse the Servo Direktion by opening the Servo, Switch the 2 outer wires of the Potentiometer and Switch the 2 Wires Motor polarity. Then you Can yose flaps with Y lead when you have no Space to put the Servo inverted.

[@peterlandin457]

use glass on your printer bed and 3dLac, I have printed so many wings with PETG, no brims, they just stuck down so hard, no warping.

[@thisisyourcaptin]

Did you put a brake on the motor to stop the prop when you are gliding? I can see how a folding prop would be out of the question unless you hacked up a normal one and made your own.

[@lanfrancosimoncelli3980]

Simply.... Fantastic!!!

[@ShahriarFarkhan]

A great review and build tutorial. The detail on getting the motor to fit is a huge help for people who may be in the same situation. Would you recommend this for someone's trainer? How much material did it take?

[@technicahmett]

A awesome Rc Plane and video...

[@TroyMcMillan]

It is an awesome plane!

[@doverivermedia3937]

Great video. Inspired me to make my first 3d printed plane. Thanks. 🇬🇧

[@stejer211]

8:57 Metal on metal: no Loctite? Or a drop of CA even? 22:49 Always transmitter first on and last off. Sorry don't want to sound preachy, but these are beginner mistakes (which can cost you an airplane ;).

[@TroyMcMillan]

No worries thanks for your input!

[@foxwhistling717]

you make it look so easy , what is your favourite printer so far for your builds ?

[@SetitesTechAdventures]

This looks awesome. I've been trying to find a really big wing design because I want a platform that would have the space for lots of solar panels.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Wow good luck! It is a huge wing. Let me know how it goes!

[@marioorlovic]

Paper towel on the motor while grinding was a pro move.

[@tonysmith7702]

Hello, I have a Ender 3 pro and used your settings to print this plane and it turned out great. I tried using the same setting to print out a 3dlab print F-86 and the walls are a little to thin. what setting should I change to get the walls to print a little thicker?. Thanks in advance.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Nice I am glad the setting worked for you for this build. The 3D lab print planes are hard to work with because they are designed to use simplify 3d as slicer software. That is one of the reasons I haven't build another one besides the 152 I did. If you want the walls thick try increasing the flow setting under the material table. Just keep bumping it up 5% until you get the desired wall thickness.

[@tonysmith7702]

@@TroyMcMillan Thank you. I am printing the V-turn now and using the same settings you provided for the glider build. The settings also work very nicely for the V-turn also. Thank you again.

[@paulbickley658]

Pretty Slick...

[@GUARD14N]

what airfoil does this use?

[@michaeld954]

I wonder if the new belt printer would make a stronger plane as you can print the long wings all as one peice

[@TroyMcMillan]

Ive thought about it too, haven't tried it yet!

Another motor glider..? SF 33..awesome vid man

[@homienat3374]

Nice job mate sick

[@mkepler5861]

Troy, when CGing a low wing always, always, always, flip the plane on its back/ upside down and then you can check the CG!!! that is because the center of mass is needs to be on the bottom.

[@tribia_marco78]

Sei molto bravo , mi piacciono i tuoi video , complimenti

[@georgekalata7595]

Hello Troy, I have been interested in this for quite some time and I just wanted to ask you as to in your opinion which printer would you recommend? I have a chance to buy a FL Sun Super Racer and wondered if that would be a good purchase? I saw you had one in your videos and just wanted your thoughts. Thanks for all of your videos and tips. Happy Thanksgiving. G

[@cbroberts8]

I have a Creality CR-10 Smart, however I am having issues getting the settings right to eliminate the stringing, and z alignment right. Do you have any recommendations...

[@jamesturncliff5960]

I noticed that you have two 3D printers what would be the best printer to print out this airplane with? And other 3D airplanes as well 🤔

[@TroyMcMillan]

For this build I used the Artillery Sidewinder X1 it is a direct drive printer that works good for thin wall. Any printer with a 200x200x200mm build plate will work for all the planes on my channel. The Artillery Genius would be a good printer for all these planes.

[@rodbar1971]

Hi Troy! Fantastic job! Beautiful plane! Do you have any problem with solar heating the PLA em deforming it? Wouldn't be better to print all parts in ABS? I'm planning to print this plane using a Creality CR-10 v3 printer. Do you thing it would be appropriate fo this kind of job? Thanks in advance and congratulations again!

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you, I have had problems with the sun deforming PLA. I have problems printing these parts with ABS or PETG because I don't have an enclosure on my printer. If you can print the material ok on you CR10 then definitely would work a bit better. For myself I am just careful what time of day I go fly and park the planes in the shade when I am not flying them. Have fun with your build this is a fun plane.

[@michaelcocroft9700]

I bought the artillery X1 on your recommendation. Printing the Eagle now and it's doing a great job. Your magnet and hot knife links are broken. Just FYI

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you for letting me know about the links. I am glade to hear the sidewinder is working good for you. It is a great printer.

I’m in Vegas also, where were you flying in this video. I see lake mead but which area? I won’t be part of an RC club so I need a place to fly larger planes

[@TroyMcMillan]

You don't need to be part of any club here in Vegas, just have your AMA. All the fields are really nice to fly on. There isn't any name that I see for this little field, but it is right next to the RV park in Lake Mead.

[@bnk28zfp]

have we can mount the propeller at the back of the rc plane???

[@thetrolle]

Nice work! Im thinking of printing my own plane in hips filament. Do you have any experience using hips? I got an ender 3, do you think i need to ditch the bowden setup for direct drive to get the best results.?

[@TroyMcMillan]

Nah I have printed most of my planes with a bowden tube, it helps to have a direct drive but it will still work and you will still have quality prints. I haven't worked with hips!
