Basic Tips and Advice
Please experiment with your extrusion multiplier to achieve the same weights as in the list.
HotEnd temperature is very important for a strong result. The reason is the plastic leaving
the nozzle has to melt the previous layer to create solid joint. Please try increasing the
temperature
to find the best value (215° up to 260° Celsius). Turn OFF cooling fan (Heatbreak
fan of course has to be left ON). Thin walls easily cools down on its own and the cooling fan
worsens the layer bonding. You can use cooling fan for thick parts if needed...
Heated bed is very recommended, use 50-60° Celsius to print without warping ends.
Any standard quality PLA is suitable to print our planes, but the result depends on combination
of PLA vs. Extruder vs. HotEnd.
Some colors and brands of filament has lower layer adhesion, please do experiment with it.
There are a lot of 3dprinters on the market, most of them are OK for printing our aircraft
(specific thin wall printing...) with sucient volume, heated bed, 0.4 mm nozzle.

How to print tyres?
Slowly! We have the best results with Treed
Flexmark 7. Perfect material for F-86A tyres but
really hard to print it. Your printer has to be set
for maximum printing speed of 20mm/s. You
can find all the tested process settings in our
factory files.
