I’ve uploaded a file for a Aero Commander or Shrike Commander, I used to service one in the 70’s as a trainee aircraft technician for the Flying Doctors Service in Kenya. The 3D print time is estimated at 500Hr, it needs scaling down to fit my bed, I’ve put it in the “might do later bin” ![Aero_Commander_500A_Commander_AN1719622](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/b/db7a66118b01cfd31e6feddc006b01957fbccba9.jpeg) The Model ![1prototype](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/f/3/f30ea485624d055ba5e17ef32ae118316e43a48a.jpeg) ![2prototype](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/e/0/e089697021b57609a628b5a5f9e763f411a563b3.jpeg) ![Final1](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/5/9/595383bbb6223bd6ca7177655b6f553b85d15f41.jpeg) ![Final2](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/2/a2e437a305aa5a486972ee1dfda16d57b36dc466.jpeg) ---

Companies like eclipson and 3dlabprint have been making some awesome 3d printed aircraft for a little while now, seem like they fly amazing have been meaning to try it out. ---

Hmmm… what could be happening here… ![image](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/9/f/9f2f128aeddb0145868c0c68c024bf8658330416.jpeg) ![image](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/4/b44baa33dbe7f8959f532adac7ff4961301d58e6.jpeg) ---

It’s a Prusa Mini… so 180mm x 180mm x 180mm… Despite the website saying 210x210x180 is needed everything has fitted fine so far… ---

> [@GunjaFPV](#): > > hah cool, where link to the model? and what filament you using? I’m using Esun PLA+. I’ll probably use Prusament PC Blend for the motor mount. The recommend PETG rather than PLA for heat resistance. I find PETG an arse to print with and prefer PC Blend, since I have it, I’ll use it. It’s the Model T by Eclipson. I’m printing the “taildragger” version for land use. > **[Eclipson Model T - 3D printed seaplane](https://www.eclipson-airplanes.com/modelt)** > > Model T is a printable floatplane. The most versatile RC airplane we have ever designed, suitable from beginners to experts, it can take of from water or gravel with the bush plane version.

The free version available here does not include landing gear and floats. You will need to hand launch the airplane. Installing a folding propeller is recommended to avoid breaking it...

Wow nice one! Be cool to see how that goes. I’ve not tried me PETG yet, will do this weekend though! ---

> [@GunjaFPV](#): > > PETG On the Prusa Mini I have to change the print bed to the textured one which then means I have to go through the Z-calibration again as it’s a different thickness… with PC Blend I just print on the same bed as I do for PLA, though I have to make sure it’s covered in gluestick to ensure that I can get the part off the bed at the end… this is fine since I always use gluestick anyway.
