I've been working on a few new projects as well as updating the Avanti for a proper release. Today I built a couple of foam board chuck...
Since starting this project last year it has been a truly exciting learning curve. It feels like 3D printing is starting to become more...
In this episode I shell the central fuselage sections. Rather than simply using the shell tool in the first instance I split the fuselage...
Episode 6 focuses on the motor mounting and cowl. I have stopped cutting out holes in the firewall for mounting screws as often motor...
Part 4 of our build, cutting out the elevators and ailerons and including a hinge line. Plenty of trial and error on show with the...
This episode brings you the aft wing winglet, constructed using a sweep on a 3D sketch. It shows you how sometimes you need to think about h
Episode 2, today we have built the wings. There is nothing groundbreaking in my fusion use today, I mostly used simple functions such as...
I have been asked a few times to do another tutorial on how to design and print a 3D printed RC airplane. I have a quiet few weeks at the...
This project began back in March when the world and the UK where I live was thrown into COVID-19 lockdown.
On more than a few occasions I have wanted to build the internal structure of my models in a similar way to the Vickers Wellington bomber.
I have recently shared a few new or ongoing projects and I thought I would share another. I started this one back in December. It took a...
Ever get an idea and feel so excited about it that you simply have to stop what you're doing and flesh it out a bit? This often happens...
Making Test Parts and Some Early Print Troubles
The tiny part for my printer I needed finally arrived and I have set off on the first print of our prototype. I started with the aft...
Ok, my printer is still broken, despite attempting a short-term epoxy fix. My replacement parts are still are not here but due in the...
The first iteration of the model is compete and it's time to start printing... Unfortunately my printer is has broken under the strain of...
Today is time to add in some elevator controls. Although it's always worth leaving this kind of thing until the majority of the modelling...
I have built the cooling scoop for the aft engine and also made some extrude cuts in the fwd firewall to allow some cooling air into the...
This part of the design is a bit tedious I'm afraid. We need to section the boom into parts that can be printed. The screen cast is...
