Only LW-PLA and “Digital Balsa and Foam” model series should be printed with LW-PLA type of filament. No difference when printing with LW-PLA for both 0.30mm and/or 0.4mm nozzle. Nozzle size is 0.30mm – 0.40mm, best with 0.30mm for PLA. LW-PLA filament can be printed with both 0.3mm and/or 0.4mm nozzle.ģD Printer volume min. You may notice that the result will have 20% – 30% less weight with regular PLA or PLA+. If you have 0.4mm Nozzle, you may want to try G-code files for 0.3mm nozzle and see if the Nozzle still can print with acceptable quality. G-code files are provided for you to start with both 0.3mm and 0.4mm nozzle. Profile files are provided for your Direct Drive and Bowden printer setup for both 0.3mm and 0.4mm nozzle but only for PLA and/or LW-PLA (for other filaments, just update the temperature Profile files accordingly and follow manufacture setting recommendation). Once you have downloaded, you can start printing your plane with filaments that you choose such as PLA, ASA, ABS, HIPS and LW-PLA (note: not all parts are suitable printing using LW-PLA/ePLA-LW and depending on the models). We offer 3D printed RC plane models to print with your 3D printer at home (note : not the CAD source files). STABILIZER AND CONTROL SURFACE ASSEMBLY.Using one printer with a 0.8 mm nozzle, the print time of this drone is about one week which is great for reproduction. Furthermore, when the drone crashes, things can be repaired and improved in a matter of days. Above that, the team decided to take an innovative approach by using 3D-printed materials, which allows for easy iterating during the prototyping phase. This was chosen by the student team to innovate and accelerate the drone industry.

Due to its 4 wings, it has more lift, making it more efficient than a standard plane. The plane design shown is a Prandtl plane configuration.

The goal of this drone is to compete in the UAS Challenge and deliver humanitarian aid (AED, EpiPens, first aid kits, etc.) in rural areas.

All in all, this drone can handle a total takeoff weight of 10 kg (22 lbs). The carbon booms from the skeleton are connected by joints printed with materials like nGen. The body and wings are fully 3D printed with lightweight PLA and supported by a carbon skeleton on the inside. "The drone shown in the picture is built by DroneTeam Twente with colorFabb filaments.
