Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
***Update May 15th 2015***
**I added the file NomadUAV_MkI.zip which contains the original 3D Max scene file with all the components**
This is the first ready to fly version of the plane, you can download the STL files and print your own plane now.
You may notice that I changed the inverted V-tail for a normal one, I still want to try the inverted version on the fiberglass model, but for the printed one it is better to keep the tail off the ground on landing.
I also included an OBJ file with the original mesh for all the parts, so that anyone can modify them to their liking, or create new designs, many parts need to be subdivided before exporting the STL file, please check with the original STL files for reference.
Here's a video of the maiden flight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qf5Z83dHrow
This is the Nomad, a new design I'm working on for a travel UAV/FPV airplane. This version has a wingspan of almost one meter, so it's relatively small. After I've completed and test flown I plan to make a 30/50% larger version to carry a GoPro camera in the nose for aerial photography.
The airplane is meant to be modular, the nose and tail sections are joined to the center section with nylon screws, the wings and stabilizers are detachable and even the wing panels can be kept separate to simplify repairs and testing new design ideas.
Some comments on the design.
-The wing sections are meant to be printed in a "Spiral Vase" mode, the internal spars and/or…
