Testprint of 2 planes plus pegs

[Tyrell63]

Today I have printed 2 planes and some pegs as a test

3x Bomber pegs
3x Fighter pegs

1x Fokker E3 from thigiverse (Model from "decapod")
1x Albatros D.V (sample at Kickstarter from Wargame3D studio)

321905

The Pegs and the Albatros are very good
The Fokker.....hmm...na ja.
1.) the propeller nose is missing. Also when you attach a transparent plastik circle...its still missing (I have already asked the designer)
2.) the elevator is SUPER fragile. After removing the supports it broke (need to be re-printed).
3.) what is the purpose of the strange contrunction onto the plane? It is inside the stl file? Something original?

321906
321907

I will cure, dry and prime them. Then I can start painting.

For me: I'm very happy about the Wargame3D plane printing quality......I have ordered the set of 32 different WW1 planes.

Best
Lutz

If someone interested, I'll post the progress here :-)

Interesting. Looking forward to seeing the Albatros painted up.:thumbsup:

[camelbeagle]

Yes, very interesting. Please post when you have them painted.

Looks a bit FRA-GILY to me. ;)

[OldGuy59]

How do the pegs compare to official ones?

[Tyrell63]

Here is the Albatros after the prime
321910
Now its easier to see any details

And after curing, they are not fragile anymore. ;)
Otherwise my clumpsy fingers will break everything all the time

For the pegs.....
I have used exact the same dimensions as the original ones (caliper checked). You can mix them now. (Printing layer height is 0.05mm) My printed ones are not so 100% clear (Im too lazy for polishing) so I will use them for spares (and for glueing the magnets on top)

Wow. That looks good.

[Bishop33]

Just fantastic! Well done!

[Flying Helmut]

That primed Albatros looks great! :clap: (I loves a nice Albatros, me! :sAprvd:).

[Hu Rhu]

That has come out really well. Can't wait to see it painted.

Doing a great job Lutz:thumbsup:

Lutz - propeller nose ? If you mean the spinner the Fokker doesn't have one - looking at the prop sat atop the fuselage it looks complete. Is that what you meant by the strange construction ? Or is it the A frame in front of the cockpit - that's what the wing warping wires run through to help steer the plane.

One more reason to buy a 3D printer... just what I needed
:hmm:

They look great!

[Tyrell63]

My 1st try

Decals are missing (still ordered)
321931
321932

[Tyrell63]

another one
321933
321934

[Tyrell63]

Its working with the base

[CrashCraig]

Excellent start Lutz. Great way to start the new year :clap:

[camelbeagle]

Those are looking really good!

[zenlizard]

Nice progress on those!

[Hu Rhu]

Nice additions to your airforce.
