This design was an idea we had for another use of the Phlatformer besides the standard uses of canopies, wheel pants
This makes for a lightweight strong structure for the from of your profile foamie aircraft and if taped on will allow you to easily remove to place it on another plane.
One of the cool features is that you can embed your firewall right inside the plastic as it is...

I considered making the epoxy holder in this forum. Then thinking about it, I needed something that fit my bench needs for all sorts of adhesives. And the ability to safely hold epoxy bottles upside down when getting ready to use them so they are on standby. So I whipped some things up in Sketchup to fit my needs. Maybe it will fit yours, as well?








Enjoy, but please post a...

We get 3 borders for every 2x4 sheet
Note: The code is set up for the Phlatprinter 3 with the overhead gantry option so you may need to rerun the code in the Phlatscript without that option for the original and MK2 machines.
Here is the show where we cut one out to show how it looks.

It's great for when there is about 3/4 or less in the bottles. I put the bottles in the stand a little while before I need them. Then when it's time, the epoxy is ready to use with no waiting, and it makes getting equal amounts easier.

It's up to you if you want to...

Today I decided to try and cut a set of landing gear for one of my profile planes. In the past I have resorted to cutting a rectangle stock on my table saw and using MDF frames to support the ABS for routing and drilling.

It would be so much easier if only I could do this on my Phlatprinter.

So I set out to do this, drew up a new set of gear and set up...

we havent cut it out yet so there is no pictures but, i might post some sometime.
there is no glue required except to glue the triple layers together.
this makes it easy to take apart and store it.

here is the sketchup file.

i would use birch ply
i have not downloaded any plugin for a multipass so i dont have that but anything you can see to improve my file would be awesome
im just learning so i would like to see what i did wrong
thanks guys

For use with 1/4" / 6mm designs
The parts are stepped 1/32 for each pass
No carrier need just pop the wood in set the bit and go for it.
Here you go 1/8" plywood motor mounts ready to go.

Also note the pens should be on the right and not the left like mine(that what happens when the writing was on the wrong side) :roll: ....

I was trying out the Anemometer this morning and I could not find a
place for it while I was Flying so I taped it to my car antenna. The only prob.
It didn't turn when the wind shifted.

So I made a vane to put it in. The only thing I havent fiquerd out yes is
how to get it to turn. I'm thinking of a old micro GWS gear drive minus the gear.
