This instructable will take you through the process I went through, problems I faced and solutions I tried out to overcome those problems so that when you wish to design your own 3D printed aircraft, you don't have to go through multiple failed prints and have to constantly tweak settings to get the right print and can focus more on the design, aerodynamics and aesthetics of your aircraft.ģD printing makes manufacturing complex geometries significantly easier provided that you know the limitations of your machine and slicer. My printed aircraft turned out to be twice the anticipated weight and had a terribly high wing loading which made it fast as rocket.įor this reason I decided to do my research and figure out why my slicer was not able to print the parts and find a way to design an aircraft which is lightweight, strong and can be sliced with any slicer out in the market. I figured that I might as well print the aircraft files I found online with conventional infills (hex, triangle, line, 3D gyroids etc.), a feature available with almost any slicer software out there.

I managed to find plans online and was intrigued by the immense amount of detail given to the internal structure, unfortunately, I did not have access to a paid slicer software capable of slicing such complex internal structures and the free slicer I was using was capable of slicing only the external skin/structure.
