Boeing Stearman 75 Toy Plane

prusaprinters

This is a toy plane that is based on the famous Boeing Stearman Model 75 biplane.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing-Stearman_Model_75The toy plane has a wingspan of 240mm and a length of 196mm. It can be completely assembled without using glue. All necessary clips and bolts are printed. I even included a small screwdriver.Use the following settings for the wings: 0,12 layer height, 4 walls, 4 bottoms, 8 tops, 16% gyroid infillThe rest can be printed with 0,2 layers, 4 walls, 4 bottoms, 5 tops, 6% gyroid infill.I recommend a brim only for the bolts. See my 3mf for more details and how I positioned the parts on the build plates. The 3mf file can be used with OrcaSlicer or Bambu Studio. I added a picture so you can see the orientation of the parts on the print bed.Print the following parts with support:Fuselage (only for the cockpit)Wings (only for th bottom of the threads)Engine (not for the thread)Bolts (only for the head)Struts (use small tree support)Supports (use small tree support)Cockpit (only for the bottom of the thread)Do not use support on the threads.All parts will fit into a 200x200x200 build space. Users with a smaller printer need to split the wings into two parts (can be done with the slicer) and glue them together after printing. Alternatively the model can be scaled down a little bit. I did not try this myself but I know there is a print that has been scaled down to 82%.For assembly follow these steps:put the front cover on the enginescrew the engine to the fuselageinsert the cockpit into the fuselage and secure it with a short boltinsert the lower wing into the fuselage and secure it with a short boltinsert the rear wing into the fuselage and secure it with a short boltthis is now a bit tricky: insert the middle supports into the fuselage and put the top wing on the supportsnow put one strut between the lower and top winginsert a long bolt through the lower wing into the strut and screw it to the top wingrepeat for the other sideclip the propeller and the wheels with the pins to the planemake funny engine noises and play with your new plane Disclaimer:This work by blecheimer is licensed under CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0.You are not allowed to copy this model to other 3D printing websites without my permission.
