RC 3D Printing Forum

I just downloaded the Cessna 170 models, and am working through tuning the settings for my X1C. I ordered Polymaker's PLA-LITE thinking it was the filament used in the build video. Turns out, it was actually 3DLabs "PolyLight". Anyway, the filament is different enough that I'm having to re-work the settings. I've only printed a small section of the wing so far, and was having serious 1st layer issues. I seemed to have solved that by slowing down the 1st layer, but so far, I've only had a clean print by using a much lower temp. of 240c, and a flow of .85. Has anyone had experience with the Polymaker PLA-lite? I haven't printed an entire wing yet, so I don't know how my weight is going to compare, but I'm guessing it will be over the target. I'd also be interested to hear about experiences with BL Aero PLA, as I'm tempted to order a spool to try. Thanks

The overview says RTF 3,300g My CRJ-700 weighs 2,972g ready to fly without battery (2,046g without battery, wing 936g). The S6 5200 battery weighs 624g (flight time 5 min). This brings my weight to 3.6kg. So I'm about 300g over RTF.... Printed with PolyAir 1.0 (PLA). Now my questions: How heavy is your - fuselage without battery? - the wing? - battery S? / mHa? / weight? Regards huk

Downloaded purchased 170 file, but when I use the stl it does not slice fuselage cowl or the Fuselage correctly. The nose cowl detail in front opening not there, just an open hole. Same with the fuselage front opening, just a hole no structure. what am i doing wrong, used a Bambu A1mini for cowl and Prusa Mk4s for the fuselage. I do see a ghost image of the missing structure pre slice, but disappears when sliced?
