RC Plane Wing/Airfoil study

thingiverse

UPDATE: 18 April 2017: I need to add one more thing: This design is intended for use on an aircraft with a wingspan of 1.8 meters. The idea behind v21 won't work because a single line thickness for internal spars is too flimsy. I'm working on the next design, which will be ready soon. I wanted to test modeling RC plane wings using a similar approach as 3DLabPrint, but with some improvements. I aimed to create designs that don't require expensive slicing software or unusual slicer settings. A single layer wing skin thickness is too fragile, so I'm testing a design with two wing skins and a single internal support perimeter. Yes, it will likely weigh more, but how much? The v4 file has double perimeters on both the wing skins and internal structure, and the internal spars are straight, without any deviations. In contrast, the v21 file features internal spars that intersect each other. I don't think curved spars add anything beyond aesthetics. More files and tests will follow! Print Settings: Printer: BazBot Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: Irrelevant Notes: No crazy settings are required, but here are some useful notes: Nozzle: 0.4 Perimeter line width: 0.49 This should give you a "skin" thickness of 2 perimeters and internal supports with 1 perimeter on the v21 file. How I Designed This: Fusion 360
