Boeing 787-8, 1:400 and 1:500 scale

thingiverse

I have printed several airplanes from T-verse but always had a hard time with the wings, especially at smaller scales. If wings are modeled to scale, they are too thin to print. I modeled this with chunky wings to keep them printable at small scales. _1:400 scale:_ I recommend using the "printable" file, and making 2 or 3 at a time to allow cooling between parts. Printing without supports works fine if you use enough walls (4 for me) and high resolution (examples were 0.1mm). This is the same scale as most Daron model jets. _1:500 scale:_ Relies on support tree generated in Meshmixer. Be sure to print with brims enabled to promote bed adherance-- the plane touches the build place only at the nose! I also had to sink the model 0.2mm into the bed to make a brim appear at the nose.
