But... the bottom and top are skewed thats a kind of weird right ? even the last layer is cascadingYes, I believe that is intentional so that with the motor mount the correct amount of right and down thrust is provided.

Yes the top of fuse 1 was a little jagged. I just used a little extra medium CA for any gaps.But... the bottom and top are skewed thats a kind of weird right ? even the last layer is cascading
@RalphyM let us know how this works for you. I hate the tape. Mine is peeling a bit from the cold in my basement while I wait for the snow to melt.I wasn’t massively keen on using tape so I’ve made some small hinge pieces that can be glued to the moving surfaces. It leaves about a 2.5mm gap but am going to test in flight and see how it goes. They print on the "C" settings and take a bit of the spare pushrod. STL and GCode attached.
You need to set Bottom Layers to 0.Hi there,
I think I've done something wrong on the print and was wondering if I'm missing something obvious. I printed the fuselage parts and went to test fit them. As you can see in the image below, the tabs on the left line up fine at the top of the right side part. but the lower ones have nowhere to go as it is a solid piece at the bottom on the right. This issue is repeated on all but the back end of the fuselage. I'm printing on the Ender 3 pro and using the slicer that came with it (it's based on cura).
Did I make a mistake somewhere? Or am I supposed to use a hot knife to open up where those tabs should go?
Thanks for your help

I've melted some PLA firewalls but if you under prop your motor it should be fine. Keeping a spinner off will help cool the motor.I see that its recommended to use ABS or PETG for the motor holder as they are less likely to melt with when the motor gets hot. Anyone used just PLA or is that a bit risky ?
Thanks. I am not familiar with the term "under prop". I am using a Sunny Sky 2212-13 980 kv which is sized for a 9x4.5 prop. Does it mean using a smaller diameter prop ?I've melted some PLA firewalls but if you under prop your motor it should be fine. Keeping a spinner off will help cool the motor.
Yep. Just puts less load on the motor.Thanks. I am not familiar with the term "under prop". I am using a Sunny Sky 2212-13 980 kv which is sized for a 9x4.5 prop. Does it mean using a smaller diameter prop ?
Thanks again. In the end I've decided to invest in some PETG as I don't want to take the risk of the motor melting its holder. I'll also install the Aura 5 lite as that's really helped me with the foam board planes especially the launch assist.Yep. Just puts less load on the motor.
That looks like it'll work perfect!This is my first ever RC plane build (I've flown helis before). Please could someone validate my shopping list before I buy the RC gear to make sure it will all work together. I've already got a DX6i transmitter and receiver. I'm printing in PETG which will be the same weight as PLA.

I'd look for an ESC with at least a 3A BEC.
Also looking at the motor specs and reviews I would try at least a 9" prop. Folding should work too.
Thanks for the feeback - would this be a better bet?

Also, would that be a 9x6 prop? I can get some 8x6 and 9x6
