Boeing's cutting-edge Loyal Wingman drone is being developed specifically for the Royal Australian Air Force. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN6bw35nzSQ One version of the drone's fuselage features built-in supports, while the other does not. When printed at 100% scale, the model measures approximately 12 inches in length. The fuselage is designed to be printed vertically using specific settings: 0% infill, zero top and bottom layers, and two perimeters with a .45mm extrusion width. Additionally, cooling parameters are set to slow down the print near the tip of the nose, at a rate of 10mm/s. To reinforce the beginning of the supports, a modifier zone is created on the first five layers of the fuselage, filled with 100% infill. This approach ensures that the end of the engine outlet remains hollow. The wings are printed vertically as well and are symmetrical top-to-bottom, making left and right identical. Therefore, only two copies of the provided file need to be printed. Wing printing settings include: 0% infill, five top layers, and five bottom layers. Optionally, a stiffener rib can be added in the wing by creating a tall, thin modifier box with 10% concentric infill in the middle of the wing. The print stand is designed to have a grid of 25% infill, with five top layers, three bottom layers, and three perimeters.
