After coming across this masterpiece, i knew i had to one-up Walvis.
So i decided to dedicate seven months towards making a CAD model of the
Ta-152 C-3 and print every single piece on an Ender 3.
Specs:
2826 980kv Brushless (May go bigger, made a universal motor mount for that specific reason)
2200mAh 4s 25c LiPo.
Standard 9.3g servos
Around 1kg.
Wingspan: 890mm
Total length: 897mm
I used spackle/primer to fill in the layer gaps that comes with FDM printers, then sanded away the excess.
I made a custom propeller that's more proportional to the plane than a lot of pre-existing ones, i'm going to test it first and see if it can handle the centrifugal forces
Specs are listed at the top of the post.
Does it actually fly tho

@Vincent I have done that before
@Vincent Nevermind 👍
@Walvis already told me
@Vincent Although I have resorted to eating insects in order not to starve to death, this does not make a spider nor a man.
@Walvis You, wife? kids?
I suppose you're also Spiderman
@ChamDel7 Yes, the house is real. It also has a very real basement. I know this because Vincent has held me captive in his basement for a long time know. Please help. I haven't seen my wife and kids in weeks.
@ChamDel7 I have absolutely no clue what you're on about.
@Vincent I mean the house background in one of your pictures.
@ChamDel7 I'm sorry, what?
Is the house a real one
@Vincent i have suspect
I think this plane's builder has removed auto credit from this

@Hazerz It should :P
But the question is... Will it fly?
Sheeesh... That's big
absolute beauty
@MAINE I Have an Ender 3 pro (basically an ender 3 with a glass bed)
if i decide to make the propeller work i'll probably cover it in epoxy and then sand it smooth, that should make the quality of the layer adhesion irrelevant.
I use gyroid, it's my favourite infill.
@Vincent
I would think a 3D printed propeller would shred at high RPM's. Though, through some trial and error you may get it to work. Just keep messing with the infill pattern. I would think cubic subdivision would provide the best strength for all the forces. With the nozzle output set to the smallest you can go and don't do a solid fill but, set it to something like 90%. To give it strength and rigidity while still allowing flex. Maybe even bump it down to 80%.
I haven't touched my 3D printer in a year. I've just been too busy to sit there and calibrate it. Ends up taking hours and then I never seem to get it perfect across the entire bed. I have the Anycubic Chiron. Big BED so harder to get it to be perfectly even. It's so called automatic leveling is far from automatic or a leveling device.
Beautiful 3D print!
What printer do you have?
@Zippy6 I think around 25 hours for each wing, probably 40 for the body.
What's the print time?
@Nerfaddict Around 1 Kilogram, the specs are listed at the top of the post.
@Vincent if this is 3d printed, how heavy is it?
Nice floor
