Print Instructions
Supports or ballast are not required. It is beneficial to have the perfect first layer function of the Prusa MK3.9(S), MK4(S), Core One, or XL.
The following settings in PrusaSlicer are recommended:
| Printer Hardware | Nozzle Size | 0.40 mm |
| Print Settings | Layer Height | 0.20 mm |
| Profile | QUALITY | |
| Fill Density | 100% | |
| Fill Pattern | Rectilinear | |
| Ironing | Enabled | |
| Fill Angle* | 40° |
*Make sure that the fill angle is parallel to the wingspan.
Happy Flying!
Let the heatbed cool down after the print has finished. After removing the glider from the heatbed, the tail surfaces should be bend upward in an angle of 45°. The bending is easier when clamping the rear end of the fuselage with pliers. The flat surface of the main wing should be on the top side. Trimming is not necessary.
If you have any questions or remarks, please let me know!
