I'm reaching out as an experienced RC pilot who is venturing into the world of 3D printing for the first time. I'm very interested in exploring the fascinating models available on https://www.eclipson-airplanes.com/ ,... Plan on using the a Ender 3 V2..

There is an overwhelming amount of 3D printing info onsite.... I am specifically worried about how to modify the G codes .... (see below) explained on Eclipson site. .....

just would love some words of wisdom from experienced printers.

What kind of info are you looking for? Based on the image, when you impost the files to your slicer and use the wall, top and bottom layer settings to achieve the proper parts. If you haven’t dialed in your settings for the specific filament you’re using, run tests with small parts and confirm that you get good results. Lightweight PLA can be more difficult than regular PLA.

It’s not hard at all. I have an older ender 3 and regularly print eclipson planes. Just import into Cura and update per the eclipson settings.
