I'm sure everyone who buys an Eclipson Model C watches your video! Thanks for taking the time. I've got most of mine printed out of Polymaker Polylite PLA-LW. I'm new to printing and RC planes and didn't understand the differences between foaming and pre-foamed PLA. Sounds like I ended up taking the easier route with the heavier but easier to print pre-foamed. Once I realized what I had with the Polymaker, I was able to get my settings dialed in well enough. Slowed the Bambu P1S down and cranked the temp up to 235°C. Not sure if I should try going hotter but it seems maybe my temp. sensor is not accurate as 235°C seems high? My first 3D print was a tracked version of Benchy then I went right to the Eclipson fuselage. Thus I don't yet know much about printing. Looks like Eclipson has added holes for a ø6mm wing tube stiffener? And I see you mention they redesigned the #2 fuselage section for beefier landing gear mounting. Hopefully my plane doesn't end up too heavy to fly well. I only compared a small part thus far for PLA to PLA-LW. My scale only goes to the nearest gram but I'd say the Polymaker PLA-LW is a bit more than 25% lighter with my settings.

Beautiful. Nice flyer. The 3D printing is revolutionary.

Troy, I love your videos on 3D printed planes. I'm just getting started and I have a newbie question. I'm trying to figure out how to mask off areas for painting. I see you use green painters tape which I have. Your masks look extremely precise and sharp. How do you go about cutting the tape without damaging the surface of the plane? I haven't tried it yet, but it would seem like using an X-acto knife would possibly cut through the thin printed surface, especially on these LW-PLA prints. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

cool build just curious if PLA can withstand the direct sunlight because i thought it would break pretty soon because its PLA.

I'm in the middle of assembly everything is going fine. One comment though about the wheels. Since I don't want to get into a bunch of specialty PLA (i.e. LWPLA) and am using normal PLA for the plane Eclipson says to not use the TPU printed wheels if you are using normal PLA to print the plane. They recommend using foam wheels which are lighter. So I ordered the 40MM foam wheels in your materials list. I got them the other day and they are way small compared to the printed ones. I fly on a grass field and I'm not sure they are going to work out. I've tried finding some larger versions that still have the correct 2.0mm axle size but no dice so far. I've looked at DU-BRO and no luck there either. It seems in this hobby that there is always at least one detail that threatens to kill the deal so to say and this tire/wheel thing may be it.

@TroyMcMillan

3 жыл бұрын

I built a PLA version of this plane to compare the materials and I used regular TPU for the tire for that build. kzread.info/dash/bejne/i5972tmpftnTirQ.html. It flew ok but still needed a bit more power I used a 980KV motor with 8x6 prop for the flight. After that I changed it out to a 1400kv with 8x6 prop and it flew much better. So you can use regular TPU it will just be a bit heavy. The tires are 84mm in diameter here is a link to some tires that would work better on grass and have 2mm axel www.amainhobbies.com/dubro-3.00-micro-sport-wheels-2-dub300ms/p130274.

@@TroyMcMillan Thanks for the link on the wheels and comment on your experience using TPU wheels, I saw the linked wheels on the DU-BRO site when I was looking for options but for some reason didn't see that they were 2mm axle. I'm going with a 1250kv motor as recommended by Eclipson. When buying that motor I noticed in the specs that one prop option was a 9x4.5 running 3s or 4s. So I purchased some of those size props along with the normal 8x6. So now I'm thinking of turning this endeavor into a wheel-a-thon by mixing and matching wheels, props and even battery c count. This is probably going to take some time as I'm sure there will be a crash or two or three somewhere on the journey as crashes are firmly in my DNA.

Hi Troy - in fueslage 3, it printed great for me, except for the vertical rib in the base of that piece of the fueslage. it starts off with some loops or extrusion that didn't quite grip, but it then forms the majority of the rib.... did you have this issue? Checking the preview in Cura shows that it should have bridged, but it didn't, about 10 layers later they all look fine... any ideas?

Hi Troy, I love the videos and have been following for a while. I am experimenting with LW-PLA for the first time and just want to clarify the ideal print temperature. I am trying to print the Eclipson Model A trainer and am having some difficulty dialing in my ideal temperature. I achieve the greatest expansion 200% at 255*C however when I print a test piece the part feels very brittle. I noticed on the drawings that your recommended print temperature is 235*C. Is 235*C the best balance between expansion and strength? Can you recommend what temperature you print at to achieve the best strength

@TroyMcMillan

3 жыл бұрын

Yes I do recommend 235C at 53% flow. At 255c the material foams to much and is brittle because there is more air in the material the lower the temp the more strength it has but needs to be above 230c to make the foam reaction. Thank you for following my builds. Have fun with the model A it flies very well.

Hello Troy Merry Christmas time to you from Switzerland I have problem with slicing Eclipson Model C, part Fus2 (item 6) I just bought the STLs for the Eclipson Model C (2 days ago). The slicer in use is Prusa, and the print is with eSun PLA+ filament, (Printer Ender 3 Neo). It works fine so far, the wing sections are made and some fuselage parts as well. I have one issue on the fuselage section Fus2 (Item 6): If I slice with Prusa (or Cura for that instance) it will not create the straight reinforcements for the landing gear mount ovals. Pictures in the attachment. If I load the G code from the original Eclipson file on the Prusa G code viewer, it creates those reinforcements. The STL file shows the reinforcements as far as I can tell. The slice settings are all in accordance to the instructions and your videos. Can you help me with this issue? Thank you for your time. Ps: I posted this on the Eclipson Airplanes Pilots Facebook group as well Sincerely Edi

Happy New Year Troy, and thanks for making another video.

Happy New Year to you, I posted me settings I used in the video for thin wall in the description. Unfortunately both with PlanePrint and Eclipson airplanes you can't print their parts in Vase mode. So I would recommend turning vase mode off and locate the Z seam in a specific location (Back). If you rotate the part you are printing so the Z seam in on a corn this works the best. As far as bumps on the side of your prints when I have seen this issue it is because I had combing on and avoid printed parts selected. Turn all of this off. But if you do have it in vase mode this will not be the problem. Try some of this and let me know. Cheers

Troy, I have a question but don't know how to contact you other than in the comments here. I'm having trouble printing the fus2 section of the Model C plane. About 50% of the internal structure in one end of the section can't bridge the large gap and ends up as a rats nest of unattached layers. It is the area where the landing gear holes reside if that helps. Did you have any issues printing this section (fus2)?Edit: well I restarted the print and just let it go, it did the spaghetti thing again but eventually got some structure established by mainly just filling the cavity with a rats nest of filament such that the structure could bridge the gaps needed. A pretty ugly way to get the job done but I guess it works. The Eclipson folks really need to redo the design on fus2 because ATM it is hot garbage, in my opinion. I'm going to try and print the section again using their supplied gcode to see if I get a different result.

@TroyMcMillan

3 жыл бұрын

I have had experience with some of eclipsed parts having this problem. I have just let them keep printing and allow them to fill the gap. For my prints I would have maybe 4 layers max not make contact with the other wall so it was not too bad of appearance and when you glue the rest of the fuselage together it covers it all up. I agree try the G code and see if that helps.

So one role should be less than 100 to have it shipped. When printing thin with this material you print at 53% flow.

How did you tape it off and spray it with out having any paint bleed under the tape?

how much does the finished plane weigh, because I think mine might weigh too much

I have an issue with printing wing sections when dropping the g-codes straight into my ender 3 pro (with glass bed). The prints are perfect with one exception: the surface which was attached to the printer bed is not perfectly flat, it raises slightly at both ends which results in gaps when I'm joining the sections? Any clues? Bed temp is 60 deg. I had the same issue when printing my model T, both prints are in LW-PLA.

I have this exact same problem with my Ender 3. Switching from the original to glass bed helped a little. Thought the bed must be warped. Most sections printed fine, but the right side of Wing_C that sits against the bed will not print perfectly level no matter what I have tried so far. I am slicing the .stl files with Cura, not using the g-codes. Anyone that has a potential solution would be helpful!

Level your bed. Search up some tutorials. You're gonna need to raise your bed a little using the screws under the bed to make it go up to down.

Hi Troy very nice videos!! where can I find the Model C to buy because I can´t find it in eclipson-airplanes.com????
