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!

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 😉

oteur cw, ccw,hélice cw,ccw sens de rotation. Je suis très déçu à ce niveau. Impossible de choisir car je n'ai pas l'impression que le bati moteur ai de l'anti couple. Il y a un kit sur la page avec moteu ccw mais selon certains qui ont construit l' avion, d'autre mettent du cw....bref rien n'est clair. Je suis très déçu avant même de l'avoir mis en l'air...

iketlenen parçaları Craycle’ın önerisiyle duvar kalınlığını ve dolgu yoğunluğunu yükselterek PLA ile bastım. Şimdilik hiçbir sorun yok gibi gözüküyor. Herkese iyi uçuşlar dilerim.
The build’s been a real pleasure — and the printing process went just as smoothly. It’s clear this design was carefully thought out and crafted. I actually printed the PETG-labelled parts in PLA, based on Craycle’s advice, bumping up the wall thickness and infill. So far, everything’s looking spot on. Wishing everyone smooth flights!

he lead catches and makes it hard to get the servo in, some minor surgery to remove some plastic to fit in a easier.
Haven't flown it yet, but I'd imagine it'll fly fine.

I am currently in the process of printing the Ranger V2, using LW-PLA (active foaming) for the wings and tail control surfaces and PLA+ for everything...

else. In my opinion, Cemal Ozelik has done a fantastic job in designing this aircraft.
I have printed (and flown) planes from both Eclipson and 3D Lab Print, and I believe Cemal’s design is superior. For example, the others use complex hinges for the control surfaces but very simple bearings for the landing gear. Their hinge designs add unnecessary weight and complexity with no improvement in functionality. (Foam planes have used tape for hinges for years without any problems.) My guess is that Cemal’s simple TPU hinges will work just fine while being lighter and easier to print. Additionally, Cemal’s attention to detail in the wheel bearings should improve handling during takeoff and landing without increasing the aircraft's weight.
However, I do take issue with his insistence that the Ranger V2 can be printed entirely with active foaming LW-PLA (ColorFabb and/or 3D LabPrint PolyLight). The fuselage and canopy parts cannot be sliced and printed without retraction, which is more or less incompatible with LW-PLA. In my experience, the only parts that can be successfully printed with LW-PLA are those specifically designed to be printed in one of the "single line per layer" modes—vase mode, spiral mode, surface mode, etc., depending on your slicer. The geometry of the wings (and control surfaces) is almost always suitable for this. The aircraft fuselage would be as well if it weren’t for the critical need to reinforce the areas where the wings, motor, and landing gear attach.
Perhaps this is a design approach Cemal could explore in a future model. Typically, the engine mount is already a separate PETG part—doing the same for the wing attachment points and landing gear mounts, while making the fuselage a lightweight LW-PLA mesh print "skin/covering" for aesthetics, could be a viable solution.
One more plus for Craycle Hobby: Cemal’s documentation is very thorough. He is very careful to specify slicer settings for each part. See page 3 of the 2022 Ranger V2 User Guide and the seven-page "Print Guide" included as an appendix. Successful 3D printing is still highly dependent on the printer, slicer, and material used, and he provides all the necessary information to ensure successful prints.
