Speedy Red Midi Wing
Speedy Red Midi Wing
Published 2017-10-23T17:10:27+00:00
For all friends of flying planks I designed a special version sized between the
Speedy Red Mini Wing and the Red Duck
Moreover I used a different airfoil. It now comes with a wingspan of 1000 mm and the total weight is 870 grams.
Like in the “Mini Wing”, carbon rods (8mm now) pass all the way through, providing extraordinary
stability. These rods are so stiff and fit in so tightly, you don’t need to glue anything.
This makes changing a part very easy, in case it is broken or you want it in another color.
I havn’t had a chance myself to maiden it yet. But Dave already got it airborne. Watch
his success here:

Recommended Print Settings
Attention
The wings are designed to print using 0.5 mm width, 0.3 mm height, 3 bottom and 3 top
layers, but one perimeter only.
Should you print thinner walls, the perimeter of the upper side will not stick well enough
to the perimeter of the inner stiffening construction.
If you apply thicker walls, the perimeters will not come out continuously in one
uninterrupted turn.
The layers must build up as if you were printing in spiral vase mode. Only then you get a
smooth surface on the upper side.
If unsatisfied with the results, try out 0.49 or 0.48 width in your slices settings. It
depends whether you use Cura, Slic3r, S3D or what yo have. I suggest you experiment with
some tests before printing the whole thing.
The second point is: Should you print lesser layer heights, the inner stiffening
construction will not connect well to the top and bottom layers. You will suffer a gap in
between.
