I just finished printing this model, it looks awesome and I really hope it flies as good as it looks.
Just a heads-up: after printing the elevators from the gcode provided I realized that both elevators were left-side, I reported this already, hopefully the gcodes will be updated soon. That didn’t stop me though, I grabbed the right elevator STL file, sliced it and printed it.
I really appreciate all the effort and attention to detail put in every Craycle’s models.
Buenas noches. Quiero felicitar a Cemal y a todo el equipo que ha diseรฑado la Discover, que aparte de ser un modelo muy bonito vuela fantรกsticamente bien, es el segundo modelo Craycle que construรญ, la anterior fue la vela ORCA V2 de 800mm, que tambiรฉn vuela muy bien. He impreso los 2 modelos en una impresora Artillery Genius en PLA PoliAir 1.0, que es un poco mรกs resistente que el PLA normal, planeo imprimir otro Discover en PLA LW que serรก mรกs liviano
Thank you for your kind words.
Pronto terminarรฉ mi Discover y espero disfrutarlo como la ORCA V2 800
Thank you for your interest!
