Thank you

[@tomorrow517]

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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@xxmastertriple]

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

[@olivierbonnel3927]

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

[@thinkflight]

Beautiful plane, love it

[@TroyMcMillan]

thank you :)

[@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?

[@MrAutospec]

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

[@BlabberizeYT]

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

[@av8za]

Awesome model and great print 👍

[@TroyMcMillan]

Thank you

[@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

[@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

[@HarishKumar-qh8ue]

Your video is so clear to understand

[@TroyMcMillan]

I appreciate your feedback, thank you! Hope it helped

[@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.

[@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.

[@misc5831]

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

[@rcdavidk]

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

120 hours to print ! A real challenge to my printer. But I appreciate very much for your detail work !

[@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.

[@Hobi_gambar]

I am proud of your creativity i like it verry much

[@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.

Nice job mate sick

[@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??

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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@foxwhistling717]

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

[@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?

[@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.

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.

[@GUARD14N]

what airfoil does this use?

[@jeff919919]

Question: The settings you shared "Profile 3" - were those the settings for all the pieces and filaments on the X1?

[@jeff919919]

with Cura.

[@TroyMcMillan]

Yes, those were the settings for the wing. The ONLY difference is the fuselage was printed out of PLA, so the print temp is 215C. Hope that helps!

[@TheDgdimick]

LOL, love the cat supervisor.

[@TroyMcMillan]

He keeps a tight schedule! haha :)

[@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.

[@РафикЗиганшин-й9ш]

A super! Thank you.

[@AeroMakerboy]

Do you printed all the plane in Pla ? And how much does it weight ?

[@TroyMcMillan]

the wing is PETG, the fuselage is PLA, and the elevator is LWPLA it weighs about 1700g

[@EJ-74]

That's awesome great job 🔥👍✌️

there is problem in the wingtest file the rib inside aren't sow after slicing , i rely want to buy the model but i must know that I'm capable to print the wingtest properly .

Make sure all you setting are exactly as the grid under the print tab on plane prints web sight. www.planeprint.com/print

[@MiniatureWorld_01]

Hi. Does the wing detachable ? And how you secure them if they does ? Thanks for sharing. Make me want to build one. I have 3D printer.

Very easy wing removal. Also super easy to put it back together and it secure. There is a TPU strap that holds the wings on. I hope you do!!

Dear Troy: I´m finishing my ask-14. Same materials, same printer. Your print settings worked perfectly on my X1 artillery; so thank you very much for share! i have a question for you: Did you use same PLA print settings for the LW-PLA, or you changed anything? It will be my first time using LW-PLA and I would very gratefull with you if you could tell me about X1 Artillery LW-PLA settings for rudder and elevator. Thank you very much for your attention and supberb job! Best Regards. Flyingnurse. Spain.

[@TroyMcMillan]

That is awesome to hear the settings worked for you. For LW-PLA use 235C at 55% flow rate everything else keep the same. Have fun with the glider it is a fun build. Hello from Las Vegas

[@javierlopez3721]

@@TroyMcMillan Dear Troy: I used again your LW-PLA settings and results were incredible! Better than my standard setup, only have to reduce temperature to 230ºC to have a perfect finish with the X1 sidewinder. I started to mount radio and only I have to print my TPU parts to finish my ASK-14. Any sugestion with TPU settings? What temperature are you using for TPU? Some people told me about to reduce tension (unscrew) on the extruder of X1 sidewinder to use it with flexible materials... Thanks again for your help. Best Regards.

[@TroyMcMillan]

@@javierlopez3721 For TPU even with the X1 I print it very slow around 20-30mm/s. 230C 10% Infill 2 walls 3 bottom layers 4 top layers I don't adjust my tension for the TPU I have mine set to a good setting that works with all the materials but if yours is set to tight or loose you may want to adjust it. Just set it to a good medium tension and then just leave it. If you notice it is not griping the TPU then tighten it up a bit. If you print it slow enough then you won't have a problem. Cheers

[@0309wolverin]

except printing, how long did it take you to actually put it together?

Maybe about a week, working on it for a couple hours a day. I don't have an exact time!

Hi Troy, you really didn't comment about your decals. Did you make these on your printer like in a prior video you released. Or did you cut it using something like a "Cricut"?

I used Gravity Designer to design them, then use a local company to print them. I might look into being able to start printing them myself soon tho.

@@TroyMcMillan Thanks, Is the local company that you referred to, a common printing company or an outfit like FedEx office? Are those Vinyl or something more exotic?
