In the meantime, there have been numerous requests for us to make airplanes. However, due to the nature of the shape of the airplane, there are many thin parts, so printing and assembly are difficult. So while designing other things, I continued to explore the possibilities. And I decided that I had accumulated enough experience and know-how, so I finally made it.

A Dauntless SBD dive bomber that was very successful in defeating the Japanese at the Battle of Midway.

The difficult part in designing this plane was to assemble it separately so that the angle of the flaps on the wing could be changed. For this I made small custom supports on the wings and flaps. These supports can be easily removed with pliers or cutting nippers. However, if these supports are not completely removed, the wings and flaps will not be connected, so please be careful that the supports are completely removed. It would be nice to trim it using a cutter.

There are a few caveats to printing and assembling this plane.
1. If you apply excessive force while connecting the flap, it may break. When printing the flap, it is recommended to set the infill to 100% and print very strongly.
2. It is recommended that the flap be fixed at the desired angle with adhesive.
3. To prevent the wheels from swinging, I made a clip that the original plane didn't have, so if you put it on, the wheels will not swing.

Please refer to the video for the printing and assembly process.

We wish you a lot of love for this first 3D printed airplane we designed.
