| edtherenderman | Guillows Series 200 - Rumpler C5 | Build | 13-Aug-21 11:59 |  | | Views : 279 | | Close up of propeller. I was originally going to use an AXEL style, which I had already 3D modeled for the Hannover, but after printing it decided to change to a HEINE brand, which meant that I had to model that one. Fortunately, I had modeled the hub separately and was able to reuse it. I ended up printing four propellers for this. The first print failed, the second was the AXEL, the third looked good, but I realize I reversed the rotation direction, so flipped it and printed a fourth, which you see here. This is printed at 50 microns and took over 9 hours to print. |
| edtherenderman | Guillows Series 200 - Rumpler C5 | Build | 13-Aug-21 11:26 |  | | Views : 237 | | Still working slowly on the Rumpler. Here are pictures of fresh prints. Combings and engine cowlings are printed on the FDM 3D printer using a material called Polysmooth, which prints like PLA plastic, but can be smoothed with isopropyl alcohol. They have been sprayed with Auto Sanding primer. Still need to wet sand the engine cowlings. The propeller was printed on my DLP 3D printer. It had to be printed in too parts because my print bed isn't large enough. |
