I think because they are just gcode files for the Prusa printer, says they should work with compatible printer. My guess is that as long as you have a direct drive instead of Bowden they should work. I am going to try to print one of the files and see what happens. Just ordered a kit to convert my printer to a direct drive, tried to get that Cub to print a couple times but not having much success, same as the PC-21 I have.

So I started with the All Accessories file and its just over an hour into the print, everything thing is going great, looks good. I have an AnyCubic Mega S so I am guessing it will work as well if not a bit better on an Ender. Needs a bed of at least 200x200x200 to print. I like how parts are grouped together to print. If anything the landing gear files are worth a print, trike and taildragger configurations. I think this will be a good one and by weight specs it should come in right around what a foamboard plane of this size would come in at. I have some filaments on the way, will probably go grey on this one.

My cub printed great, it was probably the best print I have done. I haven't printed with LW on the sidewinder yet though. I have a direct drive conversion for the ender, but I never installed it. I need to fly/crash the current 3d printed planes I have before I print more. I really want to do lynxmans c130 next, but I am not sure. Too many planes too little filament/time/space. I have to admit, when I first saw this thread, I thought that you were posting about this, which looks fun and has been on my radar for a bit. But I think I may buy one of their wings first.  |

So I have printed 5 of the files so far, bit of stringing here and there nut nothing that can't be easily cleaned up. Very solid structure built into this. So far I have a battery tray hatch lock, spinner, servo covers. some pins, both sets of ailerons, rudder and elevator, hatch cover and the front 2 pieces of the fuse. As much as I like the files grouping parts together, they would print better one at a time.

Yeah, I do like the idea of grouping all of the parts together, I can start a print go to work, and have say a whole wing or most of a fuselage done. But it does string more between the parts and is worse to clean up. If God forbid you have a print fail, you are out 4 parts instead of one and probably wasted a lot more filament. |
