Top Gun P-51 Mustang | 3D Printed Plane by 3DLabPrint

[@U20E27]

As an old Gas RC guy this print your plane thing is the stuff of dreams 40yrs ago! Just ordering a 3D printer.. My kids are talking robots and stuff and will be really excited about learning 3d printing. We will not be short of ideas and stuff to design and print for sure. Thanks for the videos sure brings back memories. By the way APC props were started as a retirement hobby by a member of the club I was at as a kid. He would bring us props to test on our planes. Our once a yr club pylon race he always had the fastest plane😆

[@mikenowland2739]

10 out of 10 for the build, the flying , the camera work and for not getting CA on your fingers that takes me a couple of days to pick off 👍😊

LEGENDARY US TOP GUN P -51 FIGHTER PLANE !!!!! | 3DLabPrint !!!!AWESOME WORK MAN

[@doverivermedia3937]

Always great to watch your new videos Troy. Love the wing catch design. Excellent job .... Nice to see your missus get involved too. Most become RC widows lol. Really firing me up to get back into the hobby, but utilising the power of 3d printing. ... 🇬🇧

[@SammyB562]

I’ve been watching and subscribed to your channel for a few weeks. Trying a 3D Lab Zero and it kills me to see how easily all of your pieces key together. Mine are always a struggle. Lots of help watching your videos and it’s getting better printing them but this thin wall printing is a steep curve for me. Thanks for the great videos.

[@tvideo1189]

Take care to avoid elephant's foot. The construction method 3dLabPrints uses has one side slipping into the other via a small lip. That lip is prone to elephants foot expansion and I found all mine needed to be lightly sanded down around that lip. They everything went together fine.

[@joku5150]

Depending on what slicer you're using, the horizontal expansion (Cura) is a very helpful setting for things that fit too tight (or not at all). I have to use it with PETG (-.02 average), but not typically with PLA. Might need to dial in the calibrations on your printer a bit.

[@alvinlee5328]

Amazing bro. Your project never fails to amaze.

[@InspGadgt]

Yay...your finally getting around to some 3dLabPrint planes :) The P-51 is one of their earlier ones so they are a bit more difficult to build but the early wing ribbing design on this and the Spitfire MK XVI is still my favorite wing build.

[@InspGadgt]

I built mine with the 6s power version instead and still used a spinner on the prop so it looked more scale.

[@wadebrewer7212]

The print settings are a challenge to say the least. Going to go back to it and try it again now that I understand the prime and retraction settings better on the upgraded direct drive.

[@InspGadgt]

@@wadebrewer7212 It is even more challenging if you print in PETG. I've printed probably a dozen planes now and I'm still trying to get the settings better.

[@wadebrewer7212]

@@InspGadgt I got the bright idea to LEARN in Silk. The first one may not be a flier to be honest. But man...im telling the look on the Eclipson P51 prints is EXACTLY what I wanted. Looks just like aircraft aluminum that hasnt been polished under light. If nothing else....print a wing section out of the stuff just for kicks. Running Geeetech silver. I think the overture silk prints better and has better layer adhesion, but the Geeetech is something else when you get it right. I'm wondering how a PETG Silver would look in comparison, I know it would be stronger and stand up to summer flying heat better. Thoughts?

[@wadebrewer7212]

@@InspGadgt started prints on the 3DLabPrint P51D first btw. Switched over to trying the Eclipson design. A lot easier with their ribbing design to print. The foil design seems a bit better than the 3dLabPrint design too. However, having the two in your hand the 3DLabPrint is more detailed and scale IMO.

[@kenanthonyadiaz2660]

Wow so nice... perfectly good

[@nikosgardenreserve3184]

Awesome sir! I'm printing the eclipson model c then after that I'm gonna print the EWW 180 EDF! THANK YOU!

[@SammyB562]

Also, nice mention in the new AMA mag this month under the “focal point” section.

[@sergiotalves]

great work mate

[@SiliconRiot]

Tom's Mustang... He actually owns and flys it, has been at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino CA. I got some good photos of it for reference since you can walk right up to it in the hangar.

[@jeffsmith9181]

Been watching you videos for quite some time. Have followed your printing recommendations for LW-PLA and do not get what I would call "acceptable" results. I have built several different Eclipson planes, the Shark, and this P51 and in PLA all come out fantastic! Use a PRUSA Clone, Voxelab Aquila, ANYCUBIC Kobra and ANYCUBIC vyper all fantastic with PLA - no luck with LW-PLA yet... Can you PLEASE do a show on e-sun LW-PLA and show Eclipson A profile for LW-PLA and what a part should weigh and what it looks like UP CLOSE when you print it? Thanks

[@robertwhite647]

Were you able to put together your print settings. The ones that come with the files seem out-dated and I can't get it to work.

[@knowledgebyte]

Thanks Troy. Great video. I’ve built a whole set of 3DLabs planes and have also scaled down both the Spitfire and P51 Mustang. I’ll post some videos once I start flying again. Nice build. I’ll try TPU hinges next time.

[@johnhohn89]

Where can l get that file the one on 3d lab does not have that print any more

[@knowledgebyte]

@@johnhohn89 which file?

[@creativeafterlight]

Another excellent job dude!!! I'm printing mine on a Tenlog TL-D3 Pro. Could you please post a link for the decal labels that you utilize along with any tips. Please and thank you.

[@MasboyRC]

Impressive

[@rcpowres]

Great video! 3d labprint should bring out an LW version of all of these plane series (mustang, spitfire, me-109 etc.) Thumbs up for flying and filming!

[@johanopperman8039]

Hi Troy. I just bought the Creality 3d Ender 3 V2 printer. Which software do you use to print. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us it's amazing.

[@grymlock13]

Another fantastic build! =) Nice work Troy!!

[@an2855]

Hey Troy really appreciate the videos. Any way you can share the settings for printing this on bambu x1?

[@ARGON023]

BRAVO, BRAWOooo!

[@JonoRob]

very nice

[@jimbarton9896]

Great build, it looks awesome and flies nice and steady.......I would love to see you do the p38 lightening from 3d lad print.......it lookslike an interesting plane, and challenging

[@rjwohlman]

Slick!!!

[@3dfjunioradrover684]

I love your videos! I would like to show you my project of DIY plane mixing 3D printing + foamboard!!!

[@damanjotsingh3157]

Which slicer should I use instead of cura pls Also free

[@ethanginter132]

Just got the STL Files, having a hard time with the settings though, what settings did you use?

[@efficientequilibrium2982]

I like your printed planes. When I saw 4.5 pitch prop with 1100kv motor and 3s battery I was going to say that it will be on the slow side more like a slow stick setup and will not fly well. Then I realized that you later switched to a 6 pitch and went for 4s and that is more like it. Best of luck in your future builds...

[@shhalumisshra2667]

I like this plane

[@rckeith]

Great job Troy. I have all the parts printed but haven't put them together yet. Mine is one of the yellow tails. 👍

[@TessoMartins]

Hey Troy i have and ender 3 v2, and im also a begginer at 3d print + rc planes, which of your planes you think is the easiest on the print assembly also flighting?

[@ChMayer-gt9yy]

Hi Troy, how did you manage CG? Mine is after assembly very tailheavy and asks for ~70g weight at foremost position with 3s 2200 lipo. 4s seems too heavy to me. Overall weight of the plane with 3s is ~880g, quite close to your value. Thanks for any advise.

[@inducatvius3883]

you got it done. i'm back in the rc-air hobby, started with the piper cub (hey it's free so why not) now it's the f4u corsair's turn. i only don't get the wing tip right. the angle is so large that space is created at the last 30 layers. Does anyone have an idea how I can close it?

[@juanjo064]

Genial sigo encantado con lo que construlles Pero me encantaría que construlleras más cosas tullas. Tienes manos y cabeza para ello ya que eres muy bueno ya lo has demostrado otras veces me encantaría que hicieras un Viper jet es un avión genial y vuela muy bien Encantado de seguirte desde España un saludo

[@brhrmaster]

Where did you get the exaust stl?

[@InspGadgt]

I'm surprised the masking tape on the servos holds well enough. Personally I use an old trick from my RC car racing days and glue them in with Shoe Goo. Shoe Goo holds through even the hardest crash but is removable later so you can re-use the servo.

[@elijahf111]

i bought this model a long time ago, really wish they'd update it with landing gear and some other modernizations to the design like filament hinges. broke 3 of the things landing in soft grass

[@samcrismon]

I love your videos Troy. So this plane is printed in PLA and not LW-PLA?

[@doronfpv]

Great video like always 💯 🔥👌

[@martinsoublette95]

Question, which software did you use to create the pieces?

[@rcpowres]

Can you show the differences between the old pla and the modern designs of LW-pla planes (maybe s.th. like mustang VS Zero)?

[@jonathanjones7319]

would like to see some more edf plans from your channel. f16 maybe. great job on you content, really like your videos.

[@jimbossimrigs7961]

Thanks for sharing Troy. What was the knife you were using?

[@notsecure]

Nice build! Where do you get your Decals?

[@berkaydemirel1999]

Hello. I like your work very much. Will you prepare a jet plane project? For example, F-14, F-18, Mig 29, F-29

[@daveycrockett9447]

This was an amazing video. I am hooked on getting into this hobby. Do you have a video that talks about the transmitter, where to buy, and all the other parts. New subscriber. Great stuff.

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

No retracts? They've got so many available these days! And no rudder??? Fun build tho!

[@VictorSilva-xu4bo]

Hello dear! Is it possible to adapt a land gear in this model?

[@Lotus-wv3kp]

how do you deal with warping issue?

[@nikosoftfilm]

Print settiing for creality ender 3 v2....you have ?

[@richardhallyburton]

Nice! Should've printed it in silver silk PLA

[@unixoid33]

flies nice. but 970 grams weight...and how much does an empty plane weigh without everything?

[@ermiswelsch304]

Can I print this with normal PLA?

[@NikK0lay]

what kind of glue?

[@vrosi1963]

addimp will be releasing a 1700mm SCALE P51D soon ,you should review that one

[@Nikkoiam]

Trying to find a printer around $600, would love to get a V400 but obviously a little out of my price range. Anyone have any suggestions on a printer in that range that can pull the same or close to the quality of the prints he’s getting on these with his FLSun V400?

[@flymachine]

I mean it sorta resembles a P-51D, pretty impressive as all 3D printed planes are but I don’t see why if designed in sections it can’t be scale

[@engineerahmed7248]

Every nxt project must be progressively 1. More challenging / complex ie 3 ch to 4 ch to 5 ch flaps to 6 retracts, lights shock proof retracts to these with.unlimited.vertical ..all these+payload, longer range 2. Flight & ground handling More dialed / locked in & crisp 3. Longer flight time & more robust

[@jimsoyak90]

I wish they would reissue it with a working rudder though.

[@rakeshkhwairakpam2896]

I want 3d printer but i can't buy it anyway watching your videos is satisfied😊

[@AGPullen]

You should make their P-38!

[@philohan95]

Weird it doesnt have rudder control, you cant counteract the strong left turning tendencies.

[@eSUN3DP]

😍

[@ssssss-dl8by]

It you love top gun you can try to make f18 or f14 tomcat. And that p51 si great and really pretty

[@arif_fadillah_]

why is there no p factor effect?

[@maciex794]

The motor mounting plate is angled to the right and downward a few degrees to help counteract it

[@arif_fadillah_]

[@manuelpeirofrias293]

I don't know if this will be the best place, but I'm asking here, because I suppose there will be experienced people in the hobby... I want to try it, since I was young it has always attracted me, and now I have the possibility, so if you can recommend me a 3d printed model... with the following characteristics: that it flies slowly, that it is very stable, that it is easy to handle, and not very big... a... that it flies slowly... Thank you

Love your videos. What 3D printer would you recommend for best quality LW-PLA for someone just starting out on 3D printing airplanes? I have about 30 planes all homebuilt (some balsa but mostly foam board) and am a very experienced pilot and fascinated with 3D printed planes!

[@richardhallyburton]

Ender 5 Pro and add a direct drive conversion kit and a PEI bed. That's all you need.

I don't know? Something about how's its glued together at just the seams. Seems to me over time the super glue will degrade and get brittle.

[@ilor15]

[@fyzobaba]

Lovely design. Until planes are printed in ASA filaments I am not going to print no more planes in PLA or lwPLA. Mainly becos the sun deforms PLA.

[@t57f100]

Great stuff been watching now for awhile can you 3d print a plane for me I will gladly pay you this is beyond my realm of thinking I'm almost 60 and have a bucket list rc plane I would love to fly

[@stacyculpepper4210]

Could you please make a. An225

[@amarfirdaus3627]

Lot of cost... B737-800 rc ✔️

[@5minEpoxy]

the reversable front bolt of the wing is BS. touching the ground with the wingtip causes broken wing and fuse at once. also the rear printed plate of the motor melts after a while and the screws come loose. P47 rubberband is ten times better.

[@kenanthonyadiaz2660]

I saw all aircraft you build ..im your subscribers from Philippines..im also love doing drone ang aircraft.....i have diy drone but its broke..ang now i want to build aircraft..help mo for needed materials thank .. I hope you read this massage

[@Sotuttochanal]

hello troy mc Milan, you are very good at making airplanes with a 3d printer, but until now you have only made model airplanes, I ask you why don't you also make a helicopter with a drone mounted on top of the blades instead of the blades? .I made it, "Augusta bell 206b" with large scale depron fuselage, 135cm long fuselage. omnibus v3 flight board with betaflight firmware flies very well and very stable. it turns like a real helicopter and once in flight you no longer notice the lack of blades. you could create the fuselage in 3d printing. I advise you not to make it small but a class º class 700 like mine. you would do it with more precision than my work done by eye and by hand. you would have a bunch of views for the novelty. in my channel I will publish a short video of my unconventional helicopter project or rather of my HELYDRONE. hello good job
