Just messing around in Onshape and dreaming of when I get my 3D resin printer
This is intended for the Monogram P-51D

That looks great. But also a whole new skill set to acquire. 3d printing is rapidly changing the after market manufacturers. Cool that you are working on your own 3d stuff.

This is a great idea. No stopping you from designing even if you don't have the printer yet

LOL TJ, how did you dig up this post? It’s funny since I just posted about the completed design a few days ago. Looking back at this I see my design skills have improved markedly in the past year, although they are not near where I would like the to be…

My first FDM print... Just printed this on the A1Mini to see how it dimensioned out and what detail level I could get. I probably should have swapped out the .4mm nozzle for the .2mm one, but this was just a prototype. The actual part will be resin printed. This first print was NOT a failure so that in itself is a big win. Also, seems the prop cuff is a bit wide at the base...

Looks like those parts are usable with just a little sanding.

John, You may be right. The problem is that PLA is very hard to sand. It's definitely not Styrene.

Amazing!

Shape of that spinner looks spot on.

Thanks Stuart -- I based it on drawings from https://aircorpslibrary.com/
