Progress of the printed pieces so far...
Bottle of wine near the tail for scale.
Holy cow that's huge!
This is such a great project, Mark. I can't wait to see it fly.

@brenda Thanks! I hope I can get it in the air this spring.
2nd set of 2 Elevators. 4.5 hour print job.
Click please!
@mark I'll be interested to see how much work is involved in getting it ready to fly - electronics, assembly, control-surfaces, etc.
Post pics when you get to that part.

@George-K if you look at the stream right now you will see a failed print sitting there. I am waiting for the bed to cool before I remove it.
Something went wrong with the G-Code generation.

There is an application call a Slicer. It takes the 3d model and slices it into layers. Then it tells the printer the speed, and 3D coordinates to move the print head and bed, the extrusion rate of the material, the temperature of the print head (hot end) the temperature of the bed, and a lot more parameters like fan speed for cooling the extrusion as it is deposited, etc.
G-Code. It's basically been around since the invention of the Jacquard Loom.

Motor Mount re-print after a mis-step on the printer that lead to a blob of plastic causing a crash of the print head.

RC Airplane Wing End Caps in white. 3 hour print job.
Decided to have the top half in blue and the bottom half in white. Just another visual clue to help see when the airplane is inverted.
