— Fran "Underachiever" Varas (@ignorantcowboy) April 2, 2022 - Which I decided to share:
-
Pictures of a build and the STL files are available on Cultsd3.com FreeCAD files are available on github
- And I also decided to print it for people that can't 3D print.
-
I got so many requests on the first weeks after my tweet, that I spend most of April and May 2022 printing non-stop. It was amazing.Every picture I see makes me super happy.I started printing again mid June 2022, some of the planes were shipped even to Belgium :)
- Design
-
All the design is made using Open Source software, mainly FreeCAD
- 3DPrinting
-
This is how the planes are printed (time lapse)
- PLA available colors
-
Avalability will change over time.
