Hey guys looking for some assistance here. Trying to print the 727 and having way too many issues, I don't really understand. Using a Flashforge 5m, OrcaSlicer, and printing with Sainsmart Active Foaming LW-PLA. Have a profile set up for that filament, and set up a profile with the print settings Troy put up. Issue is whenever the print is over its either super thin and brittle, or parts of it didn't even print properly. Having issues with slight squeezing of the parts ending up busting seems too. I have now made 5 of the F1 which is the nose and on all of those the very tip is a hole, for whatever reason it's not printing that fully. I know it's not going to be completely sturdy but I'm at a loss here, I don't see how this would even land without just disintegrating and that's only IF I can get it together without seams splitting. Any advice before I quit? I know he says this is the easiest plane to print on the market which only makes me feel like a bigger idiot lol

Hey Troy! Just wanted to say I love your 727 design—I’ve already printed four of them! Incredible work. I’ve been thinking about a potential redesign idea: what if you scaled it up a bit to fit one 90mm EDF or even two smaller fans side-by-side, aiming for a total wingspan around 70 inches? It’d be amazing to see this with working flaps and maybe even semi-scale retractable landing gear. The larger scale and improved wing loading would probably make it fly even smoother and more stable—especially with that iconic 727 vibe. Just thought I’d throw the idea your way. Keep up the awesome work!

With the arrival of Bambu Studio 2.0.1.50 the printer setting names are different. Would it be possible to update the printer settings page to show the new nomenclature? With screen shots too if possible please. I know I'm not interpreting one of the settings correctly. I purchased the 727 model but the male ends are printing with a base which doesn't allow for any shrink and dont quite fit into the female end which is slightly smaller.
