this is what a man does if the women leaves the house :D That canopy looks awesome. I will keep this technique in mind for my next project. Thanks for sharing this video

[@bik_ran_yad]

Wonderful clear canopy making process Earlier i was wondering how people were making these

[@flyingtonyw]

That's absolutely brilliant, real top job. Love the plane fuz at the end.

[@warbuzzard7167]

Not sure how that could have turned out any nicer. Amazing.

[@markoroolaid]

Thank you

[@mrbob92679]

Awesome and simple. Really helps having a 3D printer to speed up the process. Thanks for sharing

[@markoroolaid]

Thank you

[@DonsRCAirplanes]

I always enjoy watching your video, huge thumbs up from the Midwest. Happy new year

[@doverivermedia3937]

Wow ! That is inspiring Marko. I'm about to buy a freewing Banshee but would like to create a clear canopy for it also. Perfect methodology here. Thank you for sharing your amazing expertise. (Phil ... UK)

[@markoroolaid]

Thank you. I am very glad I could help you

[@mojowoykin]

very nice fuselage and fit...

[@rchobbymaximuss7465]

Cool 👍👍👍

[@Sandokans]

Hello Marko. Do you have some video, how do you make that mold frame ?! I like your method. Simple and efficient.

[@NunoFlyer]

Nice work. Drawing by yourself the canopy 3d right? Have a nice New Year 2021. Big like

[@BenMillen]

Don't know how often you make these but a suggestion that could make life easier, print it with say 2 12mm holes in the back, you could then use these to attach to a heavy base stand with 2 dowels when wrapping to make it easier and the holes would also give you something to hold onto/pull on when releasing from the vacform

[@markoroolaid]

Hi, only one canopy glass was needed to make, so, that's an already forgotten topic. But thanks for the advice

[@BenMillen]

@@markoroolaid no worries 😊

[@Popi-channel]

I like the way you use Cleaner as vaccum machine ❤❤

[@user-eb6yf2ud8t]

Nice

[@christophemicoud1508]

Greetings from France. Me asking myself the question to make a suction machine as simple as possible ... I am convinced by your video. There would be a way to get another one quick, neat, and concise with the dimensions about your vacuum table construction. thanks in advance

[@markoroolaid]

Ok, Thanks

[@Jack-bs6zb]

How does your ‘glossy sticker’ navigate compound curves? The video needs less muzak and more explanation.

[@magicsoaring7]

Well done Marko!

[@markoroolaid]

thanks

[@Warpig0321]

BEAUTIFUL! How do you calculate the thickness of the mold so that you can get an almost "exact" fit to the intended model's fuselage for the end result? I have no idea, but would like to eventually get the same result as you so rightly done! Thanks for making these tutorials for your viewers. New sub here.

[@markoroolaid]

Thank you. This accuracy comes purely with experience. The more you do, the better it gets :)

[@theflash0815]

Very good!!!! Can I ask you please from which factory the glossy sticker is do you use to cover the printed canopymold?

[@markoroolaid]

Oracal 970

[@robertolevy6496]

Thanks so much for the video!

[@markoroolaid]

You are welcome

[@TheBigChinoDon]

Did you use any release agent or wax on the glossy paper you applied to your 3d printed mold?

[@markoroolaid]

Hello No, I didn't use anything. But you can use mold wax, it helps anyway

[@johntartaro2509]

I'm in the process building an old aircraft and need a canopy. I made a mockup balsa model of the canopy and planned on using large soda bottles to heat shrink down to the right shape using the balsa model. Unfortunately, the canopy is larger than a large soda bottle so I have to make it in two halves. After watching your video, I'm curious if I can do the same thing with the balsa canopy model. What is the material you are heat shrinking on the 3d printer model and can that be applied to a balsa canopy model? Also, what is the material you used to make the final canopy?

[@markoroolaid]

Hello. The 3D printed model is covered with a 3M 3D vinyl sticker. I used PETG 0.5mm polycarbonate to make the canopy.

[@fonwoolridge]

You are a great builder! I hope to try that technique someday!

[@markoroolaid]

thank you

[@fonwoolridge]

@markoroolaid Very welcome... I'm an RC builder and musician and budding youtuber... been watching your stuff for a while... really really high quality... you are up there with the best in the field imho.... I'll keep trying my best myself!

[@harpiauno]

Nice work. Do you use PLA to make the molde?

[@markoroolaid]

Yes - PLA

[@user-mg3rc6cq3u]

Great!!!!!Great!!!!......

[@markoroolaid]

Big thanks

[@JulienWatier]

Hi , nice canopy !. Witch plastic do you use with how mutch infill and walls ?

[@markoroolaid]

Hi 0.5mm polycarbonate. Mold infill 20% walls 4 line count and 0.8mm nozzle

[@alexandrpetrov1110]

Very nice!

Big thanks

[@vietdragon5610]

yo they need to sell this stuff on amazon damn

[@FlightHeroRC1]

how much would you charge to make a freewing F14 canopy? I am trying to find someone who could make one for my FPV Tomcat

[@markoroolaid]

I don't make model stuff for sale, it's just my hobby :)

[@nighthawk0077]

Very cool, you now have a $300 dollar canopy with all the work and man hours involved ;-)

Where do you get that "glossy sticker" ?

I have ordered my sticker materials from Igepa Group www.igepa.de/international/

where do you find the petg 0.5 mm ?

I bought it from IGEPA Group

I sell Hannon blister pack machines that work exactly the same way. We use 10 mil Surlyn plastic by Dupont. Yours was 1.75 mil Ruumik?

[@christophemicoud1508]

Hi again ! Can we have the following data: - useful dimensions of the suction table -its height -the diameters of the holes and their spacing I will prepare the material to be purchased and provide the dxf files to laser cut all the parts. thanks in advance

Now make one without a computer!

[@markoroolaid]

Yes, that's the truth - the computer makes our lives easier. However, I have been involved in RC airplanes for 25 years and only in recent years have I used computer help. If it necessary, i could be done completely by hand. :)

[@Zipperneck.]

For best results, do this step when the wife ain't home [02:07].

[@markoroolaid]

You are absolutely right about that. My wife was away too from home when I did it :):):)

Hey bud. , can you make me some Canopy’s and what would you charge, I need one for a 30cc yak54 A 40 size j3 cub the front window an side windows. And jack stafford Cessna 140 the front window and side windows Let me no a price. Or give me a phone number or email so we can discuss the pricing. Thank you

Hi Steve. I don't do RC things for money. It's just a hobby for me. So I'm sorry. But try to do it yourself, it's easy.
