3d-printz Sinbad : Final steps

I am glueing all parts of the Mini Sinbad, with cyano only. It is a easy process that needs some attention as the glue cures very quickly. I followed 3d-printz assembly guide and did not found any problem with it.

I painted wingtips, cockpit and canopy, and a filet on the fuselage using same colors as on the Eclipson EGW80. For the servos i reused support available with the Eclipson model, printed in LW-PLA.

I am still missing the motor and nose, waiting for this one to come and be sure it will fit in the small area. Otherwise i will used the pure glider nose version. Current weight without motor and ESC, receiver and battery is 331g.

3d-printz Sinbad : parts weight

As Colorfabb is claiming on his web site LW-PLA and LW-ASA are very light weight material for 3D print and thus allow to build light models.

Parts weigh

The Sinbad will definitively be very light and i weighed each printed part.

Current total weight of all parts is 282 g. I will need to add 2 9g servos, one receiver, motor+esc and the 2S 300mAh lipo battery, and all links and rods with rudder and elevator. Final weight should be around 420/430g.

3d-printz Sinbad : all parts printed

I managed to print all parts of the Sinbad in one and a half week, doing this every evening and 2 week ends. Here is summary in a table of all times required for each print.

Parts print name and time

Total print time of all parts is 60 hours and a few minutes.

Here is a photos gallery of all these elements

The full kit is ready to glue and being equiped with servos and motor.

3d-printz Sinbad glider

I am starting to print the Sinbad glider from 3d-printz.at using mainly Colorfabb LW-PLA. I am sharing this journey through my blog to help you printing this plane if you need advices with this material.

Before this project i already printed a plane with the LW-PLA, the EGW-80 EDF model from Eclipson. Here are some pictures of the finished plane.

EGW 80 finished, total weight without battery is 468g, all LW-PLA and some LW-ASA.

The printing environment is an Ender 3 Pro with the BIGTREETECH® SKR Mini E3 V2 board and TFT35 E3 V3.0 screen. I also installed the BLTouch for a better bed level management. I will share my settings of Cura 4.8 i am using to slice all parts.

Base slicing parameters are the one from Eclipson with just additional changes related to Sinbad recommanded by 3d-printz.

Here are the fisrt 2 parts i printed, the canopy and the cockpit and a first timelapse for the canopy.
