    3D Printing General Discussion

    structurally it would be pretty robust, PLA will melt like every plastic, so what dennis said. Friction as we all well know causes heat, and PLA can melt around 170 degrees. Pretty sure we have all used a starter on a plastic spinner before, the key is positive force not allowing the starter...

    Made a dummy spinner roughly 32x45mm, it was hard for me to learn how to hollow out the center correctly, eventually figured it out. I then sanded it and painted it flat black. The plan with this project is to hang the plane on display in my buddies LHS since I can’t even seem to find some one...

    3D Printing General Discussion

    Bit of a repost, but my OCD when it comes to organization I decided to post it here too. Had an old brittle throttle arm from an OS FT-120 Gemini that broke. This was my first real 3D printed RC part project. It did not take long, and about 10min to print with 100% infill and PLA. I was...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    so I am trying to ADD a forum topic in the Technology tab "3D Printing" @GSNadmin ? Doesn't seem like I can, only if I click on an already produce topic can I start a thread. Can you create a new topic 3DPrinting or show me how so I can? Thanks!

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    There are a few types to plastic that are used. The most common is PLA which is what I’m using. It’s pretty tuff when your printer settings are spot on, you can refine the quality of print you can make. I soaked a throttle arm in nitro fuel for a few days and it did nothing to it. more detail...

    My first true rc related print that works and was practical since I broke the original throttle arm (old and brittle). No idea how PLA can withstand nitro oil... Pretty proud of myself! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I know. I’m a happy person. I used to have everything copied, but i wiped it clean and forgot to copy the models again. I messed up good. My flying season is now, I know it’s not the end of the world, but my ship just capsized lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oh boy.... just deleted a model off my tx on accident... nooooooooooooo (lazer230z!) why couldn’t have been one I don’t care about!!! Darnit! Very frustrating. And no it wasn’t copied, I was trying to copy another model but I didn’t see that it defaulted to overwrite a current model. Crud crud...
