Free 3D printable RC Shark 1/8 scale (Shark.Aero)
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.
The airplane is a suitable model for experienced RC pilots as a transition model from EPP models to 3D printed. Thanks to the chosen airfoil, it flies slower and more gently compared to equally large 3D printed models currently available. With the recommended configuration we tested 10 minutes flight and it flies more briskly in the version without the landing gear.
G-codes up to version 5.0 were generated using Cura 3.1.0, later Cura IMADE3D Edition 3.5.1 slicer (https://www.imade3d.com) which we recommend instead of the currently available version of UltiMaker Cura 5.2.2, or another. We achieve higher quality codes, especially with Z Seam alignment. Codes have been tested with Original Prusa MK3S+ printer. Recommended material is PLA, landing gear parts could be ABS, HIPS, PETG or other materials.
