- Recommended layer height: 0.16–0.2 mm
- Use the provided tool to shape the inner wing panels (CENTER_IN):
- Apply a small amount of glue to the seams.
- Bend the top and bottom sections into place and place the panel in the tool while the glue sets.
- While the inner panel dries, prepare the solar panel inserts (WING_TOP and WING_BOTTOM):
- Insert the solar panels into the top and bottom outer wing skins.
- Optionally, glue the panels in place to prevent them from falling out.
- Attach the outer center section (CENTER_OUT):
- Insert the small panel (RAD_CENTER_FRONT) in the front and the longer panel (RAD_CENTER_REAR) in the back.
- Note: The longer panel only has one correct orientation. Flip it if it doesn’t align.
- Use the wing assembly tool to glue the outer skins (WING_TOP and WING_BOTTOM) to the inner panel (CENTER_IN):
-
- Apply glue evenly to the edges of the inner panel.
- Align the solar panels with their corresponding holes.
