Description

Eclipson Model A 3D Printed RC Aircraft (FREE)!

Eclipson model A is just a functional 3D printed RC plane extremely easy to print, assemble and fly. So if you are a beginner with 3D printed planes this is your model!. The plane has been designed from scratch to be 3D printed and to be an RC plane, meaning that his outer shape has been optimised for those purposes and that is the key factor that explains why this model flies incredibly well without any extra drag or extra weight typical from scale models, but also explains why it is so easy to assemble since it uses very little parts allowing you to rebuild the plane quite fast and for a really low price: Just 12€ if printed with LW-PLA or 6€ if printed with cheap PLA. So do not be afraid of crashing this model, the electronics will survive and can be reused not only in the next model A that you print but also in any of our designs since we have standardized all the electronic components to reduce even more the price of your RC plane.

When I slice this fuselage section in Bambu Studio, there are no internal reinforcement ribs inside. Is that because it's a free model, or is there something wrong with my slicer settings?

The designer has replied

@norvin

the version without landing gear doesn’t have ribs inside. the one I have uploaded is without landing gear

@user_2504609471

Hello, I printed all the parts without issue using quality PLA However, isn't there an issue with the part that mounts the brushless motor The holes are not centered Thank you for your feedback PS It's a shame there isn't a version with wheel mounts

(Edited)

The designer has replied

Show original

@norvin

the holes are correct. they are just angled so the motor wires can go through the bottom into the fuselage

@user_1116020591

Hello I have purchased the model with paypal and are not able to print the gcode with my creality K1 Max printer it says the gcode is outside my printer tray can you pls help me.

The designer has replied

@norvin

the g code is probably for another printer. you will have to manually slice it and set the parameters to your printer

@user_1116020591

Replying to @norvin :

Hi again I have tried to fill the parameters manualy with no success I you know somebody that has the codes for creality K1 Max I would apreciate it very much because I am not able to translate the parameters to my Creality Printer, thank you very much

@user_1116020591

Replying to @norvin :

Hello I have downloaded Bambustudio and it seems to work better but I need the full version with landing gear for BambuStudio I have purchased the project thank you in advanced

@SunWaffle

Can you pls send image of electronics you used, so I know how big they can be, I don't want it to be too heavy

@canadian_3d

it uses the flite test power pods

@SunWaffle

Replying to @canadian_3d :

Wdym?

@user_3336822655

what is the max speed that you were able to get it to

The designer has replied

@norvin

I didn’t get a chance to test speed. I can say it goes around 40-70km/h

@user_3073695129

hi, Does any body have the printing settings for using the PLA-LW. I am getting a bit of stringing in the center of the wings. Thanks

The designer has replied

@norvin

stringing is normal. I made this print profile for playmaker poly lite LW-PLA

@user_3336822655

yay I bought some poly maker lw pla like a month ago thanks

@TheP1S

can you print the wingtips in regular pla

The designer has replied

@norvin

yes

@user_1116020591

Hello I am very pleased with the full version just want to know the dimensions of the wheels of the landing gear because perhaps I buy the wheels. Thank you in advanced

The designer has replied

@norvin

I have used wheels for this model. you can really use a variety of foam wheels of diameter 6-3cm. the best option to keep it cheap is to 3D print ur wheels out of TPU

@user_1116020591

Replying to @norvin :

Ok thanks you mean 2.5 inch wheels
