Spitfire76's Build Log of 3dlabprint's Hawker Hurricane

[Spitfire76]

Actually this model is about 80% complete but just realized that unlike a lot of my other builds I did not create a log.

Also I just entered this build into this challenge along with 3 other planes.

I feel like 3DLabPrint isn't a big proponent of BambuLabs printers. Did you have any issues printing this one up? I'm about to dip my foot into printing planes after I finish my Twin Otter. I'm leaning towards an Eclipson model, but there's no denying that 3DLabPrint has some awesome designs.

3dlabprint does favor the Prusa slicer but they eventually made some guides and templates for Bambu studio.

Bambu Studio Setup – 3DLabPrint

Although Bambu Studio is a fork of Prusa Slicer, BambuLab printers are not very friendly with...

I printed this Hurricane before they published those and so painstakingly translated their settings from their Prusa slicer 3mf files to Bambu Studio. I have yet to compare my settings with the ones they now recommend for Bambu Studio but they did print just fine.

I've also printed a number of Eclipson planes and although they still favor Cura they also eventually published settings for Bambu Studio.

I would say that 3DLP planes are more detailed than Eclipson's but Eclipson planes are easier to print.

I also prefer to use 3DLP's LW-PLA and as I am based in the US I get it from here as 3DLP are based in the Czech Republic and shipping to the US is costly.
