Copy that! Its definitely next on the list. Knocking out my sons plane first so he can start the gluing of parts tomorrow. I figured if he had some hands on with putting this together he will have even better understanding of how the aerodynamics and the structure of the plane work.:)especially since he's really getting a taste of aircraft engineering in high school right now scoring an A at the moment.

Good deal. Elbee hows the f86 going?

RM, Fuselage Airbrakes, and Canopy are completed. Wing, empennage, and control surfaces are next. I wanted to finish the Spitfire/Seafire (Whew! Happier now.) and was printing spinner protos and various tinys. I will get back on it after Christmas. Need to work with Tamms on family stuff for Christmas and might be headed OoT for a week. TMI, I know, just life. I will post pics when I restart. Keep on that PT-17, I have flown it 1:1 a couple times and it is a sweet airframe. I will check in to see your progress. Best, LB

[fhhuber]

Just loose... Tightened them up and its back going.

[rifleman_btx]

Ah wow, and yeah with those ender 3s are really good. Hopefully those screws hold together

[fhhuber]

Found a "new" way for the Ender 3 to fail... It just stopped feeding filament. I went through all the listed ways for that to happen... nope.

The 2 little grub screws on the feeder spline had backed out The stepper motor was trying, but the brass spline piece wasn't turning.

[fhhuber]

OEM plate cover. Some kind of textured plastic. Held on with bulldog paper clips.

I've gone through 1/3 spool of filament now with no more issues. (ain't broke... not gonna fix it)
