Suggested Cura Settings

Please use Cura 5.1 or newer. It will make a difference! I used these settings, but if you have different ideas... please let me know what worked for you. If you have any questions, just shout out.

Cowling
I printed it front face down. Although I dislike using supports, I couldn't figure an orientation that was better without them. In the face down position, it only puts supports for a minimal portion. I also used 3 wall thicknesses, but most of it will be constrained to one wall thickness in the sides since it is a solid model. Total weight using ABS is 6 grams.

Side Fairings
I used the Spiralized Outer Contour mode does a really nice job. Total weight for the pair using ABS is 7 grams.

Wheels
Layer height = 0.2mm
Wall thickness = 1.2mm
Top thickness = 1.0mm
Bottom thickness = 0.0mm
Pattern = Concentric
Infill = 0%
Support = ZigZag, 10%
Adaptive Layers = checked
Adaptive layers Max Vari = 0.05
Adaptive layers variation step size = 0.01
Total weight for the (4) halves = 21 grams with the supports and after support removal is 15 grams.

Guns
I printed these vertical with Brim build plate adhesion so they wouldn't get knocked over.
Wall thickness = 0.4 mm
Top/Bottom thickness = 1mm
Infill = Cubic, 15%
Total weight for the pair is 3 grams.

I can't really help on getting a random motor centered in the cowling. I imagine it'll take some fiddling with the FT power pod and various people putting in P-factor and down thrust angles. YMMV! I used a 3D printed motor mount for a A2212, 2300KV motor. As I'm learning, that's not the standard one.

Thanks for sharing these. Your DR1 is a thing of beauty.

Please share yours in pictures and video somewhere... here or in a build thread. I'm no Red Baron... I'd really like to see it fly.

Used your cowling, fairings and guns. Printed in LW-PLA with gyroid infill (really low, like 10%). The cat "Pilot" was printed with our resin printer.

Haven't flown it yet but it was fun to build.

Very nice. I think it turned out better than mine!

Should have it flying as soon as the glue on the cowl dries. Really like how it dresses it up.
