Printing the parts – Printing profiles
This manual is constantly being improved and supplemented, we recommend downloading the latest version from our website before building.
For slicing all Planeprint

PROFILE P1_Fullbody PROFILE P2_Hollowbody PROFILE P3_Surface PROFILE P4_Flex PROFILE P5_Gyroid
You can find the description at www.planeprint.com/print
For the new PROFILE P5_Gyroid it is essential to use Cura Version 5 or later, It will work with older versions, but the weight of the parts will be higher and the printing time longer.
ble weight with high stability, it is necessa­ry to print with only one wall line (Nozzle 0.4 mm). Decisive here is the adhesion between the layers! To achieve this, you must print at a much higher temperature than normal. As a guideline, 230° C is a good starting point. The parts-cooling fan should be set to 0% or a maximum of 20%. Since not every printer works the same, it may be necessary to make small adjustments to these settings.
PROFILE P5_Gyroid
It is essential for the necessary stability of the LW parts printed with PROFILE_5 are as stable as possible. Please
use a test part to check the strength by fracture tests. It must not break along the layer lines under any circumstances! Also note that the printing temperature for LW-PLA is as low as possible to obtain a wall thickness of 0.4 to 0.6 mm at a flow of 60 to 70 % (depending on brand).
Caution: at too high temperatures, LW-PLA becomes brittle and breaks more easily.
The development of a complex, airworthy RC flight model to express on any stan­dard 3D printer is a very complex and extensive process. Therefore, we appeal to your fairness not to forward the STL data you have acquired to third parties.
Thank you for your understanding and have fun with your PLANEPRINT MODEL!

Basic Information:
Gluing the parts printed with PROFILE P5
STEP 1 As a fi rst step, it is important to roughen and smooth the adhesive surfaces with sandpaper.
STEP 2 Insert the interconnects into the slots provided on one side.
STEP 3 Apply a lot of glue to the side with the interconnects. It is important that there is glue everywhere,
especially on the outside and inside of the wall surfaces, in order to achieve a perfect connection. The interconnects only serve to align the parts to each other. It is better not to apply glue here, otherwise it can happen that the glue suddenly hardens while the parts are being put together and stops the process.
Use medium viscosity CA glue, thinner glue would run down the parts too easily.
After assembly, align the two parts exactly and wipe off the excess CA glue from the surface
with a cloth. Now spray with activator spray along the gluing surface and carefully press the parts together.
STEP 4 Clean the glued areas slightly with a sharp-bladed cutter.
Installing the hinges – rudder/elevator/ailerons/fl aps
Spacer
Slots
First glue the TPU hinges into the aileron. Then put it on the wing and fold it a little to the side and give a drop of thin liquid glue on each hinge! CA glue. Push it all the way up against the wing, imprinted spacers provide the proper spacing. Wait until the glue has completely coagulated in the slots of the hinges (by capillary action). Now spray some activator spray on each hinge to cure the CA glue. Repeat the process on the other side of the hinges.

Wings assembly
Shorten and insert the carbon strips fi rst into the gaps on the wing. Make sure that they do not protrude above the surface of the wing, if they are a little lower, that‘s okay. Then apply a generous amount of thin CA glue along the entire length. The glue spreads through the capillary effect and bonds the strips to the wing over a large area.
If you don‘t have carbon strips or similar materials available, print the STL Spar_p1_F.stl from PLA or better Tough PLA several times and glue it as described.

The carbon strips should be degreased and roughened with sandpaper!

Push the carbon fi ber strips all the way forward into the gap.
Place the fuselage with the tail down on a piece of cardboard and let thin CA glue run from the front into the gap between LW-PLA and carbon. Wait until the glue trickles out of
the bottom! Spray activator spray on the glue.

This ensures that the carbon is bonded to the fuselage over the entire length.

Wing mounting system
To secure the wings, pull the handles of the tension belts inward and hook them into the PLA holders.
The tension belts should normally be relaxed so that they do not overstretch.
Battery mount
Screw the battery mount together with the holders with 2 screws each and glue them into the fuselage (marked blue) as shown in the picture. Remove the battery mount again and let thin CA glue run into all edges of the holders, these must be very well connected to the fuselage! Then screw the plate back in place with all 8 screws. you can mount it in two positions depending on the weight of your battery.
The controller fi ts under the battery plate.

The STL data (or data processed from it, such as G codes) must never be passed on to third parties!
The purchase of the STL does not authorize the production of models for third parties.
By using the download data, an RC model airplane, called „model“ for short, can be manufactured using a 3D printer. As a user of this model, only you are responsible for safe operation that does not endanger you or others, or that does not damage the model or property of others.
PLANEPRINT.com assumes no responsibility for damage to persons and property caused by pressure, transport or use of the product. Filaments, printing supplies, hardware or consumables that can not be used after faulty 3D printing will not be replaced by PLANEPRINT.com in any way.
When operating, always keep a safe distance from your model in all directions to avoid collisions and injuries.
This model is controlled by a radio signal. Radio signals can be disturbed from outside without being able to influence it. Interference can lead to a temporary loss of control.
Always operate your model on open terrains, far from cars, traffic and people.
Keep all chemicals, small parts and electrical components out of the reach of children.
Avoid water contact with all components that are not specially designed and protected. Moisture damages the electronics.
Never take an item of the model or accessory in your mouth as this can lead to severe injuries or even death.
Never operate your model with low batteries in the trans­mitter or model.
Always keep the model in view and under control. Use only fully charged batteries.
Always keep the transmitter switched on when the model is switched on.
Always remove the battery before disassembling the model.
Keep moving parts clean and dry at all times.
Always allow the parts to cool before touching them.
Always remove the battery after use.
Make sure that the Failsafe is properly set before the flight.
Always follow the instructions and warnings for this product and any optional accessories (servos, receivers, motors, propellers, chargers, rechargeable batteries, etc.) carefully.
We develop our models to the best of our knowledge and belief.
We accept no liability for consequential damage and injuries
caused by improper use or incorrectly printed parts. Please be
careful when handling motors, batteries and propellers and only move your model with insurance and in approved places!
Never operate the model with damaged wiring.
Never touch moving parts.
