Save the Gcodes to the SD card and insert into your printer. Prepare your printer and start
printing, we prefer to use SD card rather than direct USB connection. Note: ABS filament is
not suitable for thin wall printing. Scaling the model will lead to unusable result!

you will need: PLA filament - good quality and strong PLA (we need strong layer bonding)
3DLac, Strong hair spray, or your favorite adhesive bed surface
Razor blade

Basic Tips and Advice
Please Experiment with your extrusion multiplier.
Also HotEnd temperature is very important for strong result, please try increasing the
temperature to find the best value (200° up to 260° celsius).
Turn OFF cooling fan for better layer adhesion (HE fan should be ON). We dont need it for thin
wall printing. We tried many dierent materials and despite it‘s lower thermal resistance the
PLA is still our best choice.
Feel free to experiment with PETG, PC-max by Polymaker looks promissing.
Heated bed is very recommended, 60-70° Celsius (to prevent warping ends).
Looks like any standard quality PLA is good for our planes, but the combination of PLA vs.
Extruder vs. HotEnd is what matters the most.
We find some filament colors could have lower layer adhesion and lighter colors doesn‘t heat
so much on the direct sunlight.
Many 3dprinters are on todays market, most of them are capable of printing our airplanes
(specific thin wall printing...) suficient volume, heated bed, 0.4mm nozzle.
