Greetings from Germany 🙂 I finished this Build some weeks ago and it was a pretty damn funny journey! I have printed 2 full Airframes with my Bambulab A1 in Pla+ and Petg with the recommended settings and it worked great all the Time, so 5 Stars for the .stl Files. My first try was an 4S Build that worked okay but it was tricky to launch it (seems to lag on power for starting). So after 2 sucessfull flights on 4S and getting used to it i decided to go for a rebuild with 6S. I changed it to a 2207 1980KV Engine with 6×4.3 Propeller, 70A Quadstyle ESC and powering it with an Tattu 5.0 6S 1200mah Battery on a Speedybee F405 Wing stack with my good old trusty Analog Video system. After getting over 10 Minutes Flight time, a massive amount of full throttle punches and some really nice acrobatics im totally obsessed with this Orca v3. Done some Autotune, changed a few things around in Inav and after flying FPV Wings for a pretty long time now i can say that this Orca v3 is one of the best performing wings you can Print and build yourself! I have about 10 flights now on my first printed Airframe and it just goes up and flies every single time like a dream on 6S. Thank you for this great Design and keep this alive !

I love this model — I like both how it looks and how it flies.
It’s also very easy to print and well engineered. Highly recommended!
I printed mine in PLA+ and installed a Matek flight controller and a DJI O3.
And as a coffee lover, I really appreciated the little gift that came with the power pack order 😉
Cemal OZCELIK (store manager) –
Thank you so much, that truly means a lot.
We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed both building and flying the model, and it’s awesome that you installed a Matek FC with the DJI O3 setup, sounds like a perfect combo.
Also, love that you noticed the Turkish coffee gift 😊
Wishing you many smooth flights and great brews ahead.

Title: Perfect Details and Great design!
Comment: When I received my model plane, I encountered a much more impressive and detailed product than I expected. The quality of the 3D print file is truly outstanding, each piece fits perfectly with each other and is absolutely of high quality. The assembly process was very easy, the instructions were clear and descriptive. The fine workmanship and delicate details on the plane’s surface details make me feel like I have a miniature version of a real plane. Also, the design quality is quite sturdy and durable. I had no problems during both the assembly and painting stages. All in all, I am completely satisfied with this model aircraft and I would definitely recommend this site as the first choice for modelers and aircraft enthusiasts! Thanks for a great experience!

WOW Just a great group of people, great support for a super great product. I bought the ORCA V2 after reading and watching a lot of reviews and videos and said “Why not” I was super impressed with the quality of the STL files (ALL PERFECT FIT). I was new to profiles and I asked at least 20 questions, the support staff was patient and helpful. After that I printed my plane in one week and all perfect. I was amazed how precise the print came out. I also order the motor, esc and servos and they arrived just shy of 3 weeks all perfect as well. I have joined an FPV group here in Colorado and have been telling everyone about this incredible company and their products. I know I made a few believers and they will also start getting theirs soon. Thank you Craycle and thank you Cemal for the support and again a great product.

Great Plane, easy to print and assembly, but in next version maybe a fast replacement nose, in two flights broke it and need to replace but is not easy, please check OpenLOCK connectors
Cemal OZCELIK (store manager) –
Thanks for your comment. The nose of Craycle Discover has an easily replaceable design. When we made this design, we realized that the space required for battery placement increases and it becomes easier to intervene there. So we can maybe concider this on the next model or Orca V3 in the future.

This is nice product and Its like dream comes true to print my own plane parts. I am going to print and assemble the parts I hope this community is going to grow to help other hobbyists. Thank you for the detailed assembly manual. I will continue to visit your website for future updates. keep good work.

This is an absolutely beautiful model that is so easy to print. I have set it up with a Matek flight controller and a vista. As the Vista lid is made for the original DJI camera, I could see a ring in my goggles due to the shorter Runcam wasp camera I am using. The way I fixed this was I printed the aileron horns and glued them to the lid where the camera mounting holes are, this lets me mount the camera further forward. I had to cut out a hole on the top for the GPS and designed a cover to hide the cut, but was easy to do. one thing I would recommend is that if you are using 2207 motor, get some spacers in between the motor mount (trust me, print in PETG/ABS) and the motor as I had the prop striking the fuselage on my first one. Also the CG is hard to get it to where it wants to be, what I did to get it there was I placed some coins with adhesive tape at the front of the fuselage and worked great. Take off weight with everything was 650grams and it flies like a dream, I can cruise at 20% throttle but can also hit speeds of 180 KM/hr which is crazy. another tip, I would consider printing the full length ailerons. The standard ailerons do the job, but a little more authority would make it more agile. If you are using a flight controller, land in Horizon mode and it is so easy. I learned that the hard way with a wing strike on landing in Manual mode, breaking of a wing. The only things you need (apart from electronics) is a half metre carbon spar, 2 M3 screws, and 2 M2 screws, it really is a genius design. Every single person that has seen it fly in my local field (experienced pilots) are blown away by the speed and design. These issues I’ve stated are not really issues, just things to bear in mind. Overall, I am so happy with it, really great job! I would love to see a larger version of this.

Thanks for your detailed comment and suggestions for improvement. There was a huge difference between V1 and V2, made possible by our customers like you who shared their experiences.
We produce parts that are exposed to heat and force in Printed Kits with PetG. We will add this information in the PDF User Guide. We are planning to make a general arrangement on the FPV covers of all our models. Maybe in this update we can make the camera position adjustable. We will also drop ready slots for FC and GPS modules.
I look forward to your comments about our other models. Kind regards…

Pros:
Nice and beautiful design, easy to print, easy to assembly. Few extra material like carbon fiber spars (only 1 needed and standard lengh – 50 cm), good room for electronics. When get launched, it flies good.
Cons:
Very hard to launch and land (I have broken around 4 frames because unsucessful launches mainly). Stall speed too high (30 – 40 km). Tail heavy, need to add around 80g of ballast on the noose to get rigth CG. Motor mount structure fragile (motor firewall and the part of fuselage that accomodates the motor).
Suggestions for improvement:
Increase the noose length to compensate tail heaviness. Increase the wing area to allow lower stall speeds. Improve the resistance of the motor holding for both firewall and fuselage. Think about a new version using 2 pulling motors that make launches much easier.
Cemal OZCELIK (store manager) –
Thank you for your detailed comment.
Check the table in the PDF, if your prints are lighter then you have less flow. In this case, the bottom part of the FS4 part may not be joining. Increase your flow and apply some CA to the slit at the bottom of the FS4 part. This process will strengthen the structure in that area.
For printed kits, we print the motor bracket with PetG. If your engine is overheating, it can easily warp PLA. You can solve this problem simply by printing the motor bracket from PetG.
Orca wants to fly fast, so it can’t take off as quickly as a training model. But once you learn how to do it, take-off is no longer a problem. It wouldn’t be much fun if a model this size flew slowly. Especially for FPV flights, you want to switch to a 4S battery and 2207 motor to make it fly faster soon 😀
A puller twin motor is a good idea if you want to fly slower. Maybe we can make an add-on kit to Orca V2 for it.
Werner Beroux (verified owner) –
One of the easiest to print. Still there are a few suggestions:
– List the required hardware on the home page and in bullets (it took me a long time to find the suggested carbon rod diameter and length)
– Let people know that a carbon fiber tube is probably also good instead of a rod (for weight reduction) is also good if you think so.
– Give the required spec for the motor, which should be 2207 2205–2750 Kv, max power ~800 W, 14.5×14.5 up to 16x16mm hole pattern, 5 mm shaft.
– Have a version with fuselage 1 and 2, and like 3 and 4, as a single part. Same for the wings 1 and 2. Many of us have a larger build plate and a single part is almost always better than 2.
– Have the aileron as a separate STL, which is really useful to print them in another colour.
– Give a suggested shoreness index for the TPU.
– I printed pretty much all parts with 2 tops which avoid a few holes, marginally increases the weight, and creates stronger bonds for wings.
– I printed the aligner as I didn’t have wood: 6 times a 3.3×12 mm cylinder (1 wall line, 10% tri infill). Consider include STLs.
– Link the list of add-ons (which are even free) on the main page as links.
– I’d prefer a plastic handle instead of the metal screw for the lock. Also I’d suggest the spring to be in PETG (detail).
This list may sound long but most of these are minor changes that aren’t critical. Overall it’s a great model.
Cemal OZCELIK (store manager) –
Werner,
Thank you for your nice and detailed comment!
– Required parts and many details are added to all models’ blog pages so we can add Amazon/Aliexpress links for the products and give a lot of information on this topic. Currently, the Blog content is not too much as we thought but it’s better to keep the product page minimalistic. I can add a note that information above the blog page link maybe. I will definitely do something about that! thanks…
– I have flight with 2204 2300KV, 2205 2300KV and 2207 2300KV motors and all is good. 2205 is an average value, in fact, you can fly this model with many motors on the market.
– Printing separated fuselage parts add a lot of strength to the fuselage because of them’s bottom surfaces. So you shouldn’t print as a single part. I have worked hard to define parting points to get this strong fuselage design.
– We can’t share separated flap parts because of some secret reasons 😀
– Around 95 shore TPU is good for hinges, I will add this information. Thanks…
– Yes, I want people think about the model and find them own way to print stronger, lighter or easier. Nice to hear that!
– I have prepared a nice cylinder pim but I want to make a common Craycle Pim for all models. I will update the fuselage parts for it. Ranger V2’s pim design will be common.
– Okay, I will add all add-on links for all models which has add-on.
– I tried a plastic handle design first but it wasn’t sturdy enough. I don’t want to enlarge the lock to make its handle stronger, the lock can be used on many models.
Thank you for your time. I learned a few things and will apply the fixes. I am grateful.
