He expects it will cost about $10 in filament to produce the model. Thanks to 3D printing, the entire model is very rigid and lightweight, and should withstand all the rigors of flight. The joint wings and fuselage are designed to be partially flexible, which increases the durability during a hard landings,” he adds. “This new model already has built-in (3D printed) bowden lines for the rudder and elevator. This enables, Dokoupil says, some interesting flight characteristics. The complete airplane is a 1/12th scale model, meaning it has an impressive wingspan of nearly 1 meter (38.5 inches). We hope you enjoy it, although this print may test your competencies and quality of your 3D printer (welcome to thin wall printing),” he says of his latest creation.
“So this project is again full of other improvements for better durability, easier assembly, better geometry solutions and so on. Dokoupil further revealed that this was also an excellent opportunity to improve his designs. Like its predecessors, its available as a static model or an RC version, and can be 3D printed on any desktop 3D printer. Those models are now thus joined by the iconic German Messerschmitt Bf 109T. All are sold in his webstore, alongside the more accessible EasyMax sports glider.
This has led to three fantastic and fully 3D printable RC models inspired by WWII already: the Spitfire, the Mustang Fighter and the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. Since discovering 3D printing a few years ago, he combined his hobbies by building 3D printable aircraft. When not flying model aircraft, he takes the skies as an actual pilot flying various aircraft across Europe and North America. All are designed by architect, 3D modeler, and RC plane enthusiast Dokoupil, who knows everything there is to know about planes. This Messerschmitt Bf 109T is the latest addition to the fantastic aircraft models from the Czech-based 3DLabPrint. Like its predecessors, it looks fantastic, flies like the wind and is easily 3D printable on any desktop 3D printer. Following up on their success, Dokoupil is now back with the only iconic plane that was still missing: the Messerschmitt Bf 109T, the classic German WWII fighter. I just wish I had half the CAD talent of Stepan so I could design more of my own stuff.Remember the fantastic WWII aircraft by Czech pilot Štěpán Dokoupil? At the beginning of the year, he launched several fantastic 3D printable RC aircraft models based on prominent World War II planes in his 3DLabPrint webstore.
Why? Because no one else in my area has one! Its unique, cutting edge and other than buying the file.I made it. But I have more satisfaction with this P-51 and I haven't even flown it yet. That EFX is one of my favorite speed planes and is blistering fast with my rare bear motor in it. I spend hours printing things I could easily buy from the dollar store. I don't know about you guys, but I have a basement full of impractical things and my printer is one of them. from RCGroups forum - I cant beleave we are even having this conversation! We all printed this thing because we could. This design style just seems to be custom catered for things like a Mig-15 or a curvy SR-71 Way more satisfying than buying it from china! (Lower case "c" intended) I love the challenge of printing this aircraft. The cool factor of having all the internal architecture within the wing and fuse sold me. I had to get the S3D to make it work the way it was designed. I just downloaded the mustang last night.
