I'm a Shark!

[sundown57]

now that I finished the shark I started looking around for my next project. I am noticing that other than the shark, eclipson and a couple different spitfires im not finding many printable planes. Am I just not looking hard enough or are there just not very many? I like building older ones, like WWI and II. biplanes and monoplanes from the turn of the century but nothing for free plans. I even looked for something like just braces so I could cover it with shrinkwrap but can't find anything like that either. Anyone know of some fun planes to print?

I can give you a quick crash course in Cura if you'd like...when confused Google!!
That's gotten me pretty far into 3D printing up to this point

when NOT confused be afraid, be VERY afraid.
I'm getting better with Cura, Starting to learn how to thin the walls out but still get a usable product. Ever now and then I get one that won't cooperate

I think Cura is a female, you will never figure it out.

Mission Accomplished!

I've been at it for nearly a month of constant printing. Her birthday is today, and it's ready to go!

Now it's time to print a darn plane! I've got wing L-1 printed, and am currently printing L-2. I'll throw up some pics later, just because.

If I had gnome how bad the puns would be, I might have rethought the whole 'elfing thing!

Anywhoo, here's L1, L2 and L3!



R1 is printing as I write this.

you need to make sure, every time she uses one you immediately replace it. Cant have your mother gnomeless at her age.

It just dawned on me, @buzzbomb has his printer settings down pat. Make no gnomes about it, lol

This has to be the worst maiden flight in the history of FT.

worked and waited almost 2 months to fly that plane. Wife said I looked like a kid that just dropped his ice cream cone.

That really sucks, any idea of what you're going to do moving forward?
