This is a full step by step build video of the Longboard 1000 from 3d-printz. This plane was fun to fly great first build project. This is a great plane to take out to the RC field with other planes or a great park flyer.
Thank you so much for watching!

*These are the settings I used for my Twotrees Sapphire Pro 3D Printer with PLA. These settings are not going to work with every printer, or every PLA. Printers have different length bodin tubes, and PLA’s have different melting points. These may not work exactly for you, but should give you a good base to start with if you have a similar size printer. Good luck!

I can’t thank you enough for the “print outer walls first” trick. My prints went from crap to outstanding with a click.

So - during the middle of "I'm bored and can't fly" winter build season, I decided to build this. I had zero - ZERO expectations on this model. I made it with LW=PLA wings and PLA wingtips, fuse, and control surfaces. I even found and printed a folding prop. And it sat. And sat. And sat some more. Finally, the weather broke and I decided to git it a try. I even brought a bag for the parts. Everything barely fits in the fuse. Added some up reflex. Pointed into the non-existent wind. Added about 60% throttle and just tossed it like a paper airplane. And - DAMN! It flew perfectly! I'm standing there gobsmacked and realized I really should start flying the model and she behaved really smoothly. Not a click of trim. I did get a lot of flutter coming out of a loop so I throttled back (need to figure that out). Thanks for the build tips and showing off this model.

Thanks Troy for your honest opinion about the plane and products you are using. I really appreciate the budget tips too. For many of us on a fixed income, it is much easier to use a larger motor and battery than to use the LW-PLA due to its cost. Even the tip on the superglue was appreciated. There’s tons of videos flying 3D printed planes, but very few that take the time to explain how to make them. Even your quick repair tips are really helpful. Your wife’s support is also encouraging and she does great on getting some awesome shots! Thanks again.

Awesome!

Fiberglass rod is pretty easy to source and does the same job essentially. I use fg rod in everything fpv to reduce interference never had a problem.

Inspired

Nice build. Thank you)

HARİKA . ÇOK GÜZEL MODEL.

Sweet

Is it much harder to print this airplane in air/lightweight PLA than with regular PLA?
-
Next-level genius!!!
-
Now this is cool!
-
very good
-
Great build video. Like all the tips you include. Also that you explain how to fix a mistake, instead of editing out of the video. This practical knowledge is appreciated and invaluable to someone doing their first printed planes.
-
Wow your channel is amazing. I just got a 3D printer and wanted to try all of what your are showing. Subscribed!

Me and my Friend are designing a 3d printed long-range FPV motor-less glider, which should use thermals for cross country flights.

Hi Troy, this video landed at the right time, I wanted a model I could print as a test print after following your thin wall printing video to home in my printer and this is perfect due to the reduced volume of PLA and reduced print time. The cura tips are a nice touch and I am tempted to print the flying surfaces in four sections so to make them mixed. As always, keep up the great build guides and video production. You inspire us all to build and fly with style!

Hey Troy, thanks for this great build video.

Nice video Troy, and thanks for the motor mount tip.
