here is the download, the designer also has a salamander for a 120mm EDF:
EDIT - 29.08.2023 I added a reinforcement block (WingReinforcement.stl) for the inner wing panel that increases the torsional rigidity of the wing by preventing deformation of a weak spot under landing loads. Install according to the illustration. I also added a new impeller for the EDF that sounds great and might give a slight performance improvement (Gleich-Impeller07-12b-fat-Newblade.stl). ---------------- EDIT - 20.05.2022: New EDF impeller with 18 blades. It sounds much better and performs well. Flight video: https://youtu.be/XvHo3N9S8D0 --------- EDIT - 20.09.2021: New front nose piece with clamshell hatch for making access to a battery or whatever you want to put in the nose. Use an M3 screw to hold it closed. --- EDIT -22.07.2021: Added a new EDF housing that can use the HET motor without any heatsink because the heat sink can be hard to find now. EDF-housing04-Noheatsink.stl It supports the motor all the way through and has a gap for air to pass around the motor. It should be printed from a more heat resistant material than PLA, and that goes for the impeller as well because the lack of an extra heatsink can raise the motor and axle temperature to where the PLA will start to soften. --- EDIT: Added a new canopy that is one main piece instead of two for printing in a very large printer (in addition to the front windshield part). The new files are Canopy01-onepiece and canopy02-onepiece. The human is not included. --- Specifications: Length: 1858,5 mm Wingspan: 1451 mm All up weight: 7,2 kg (prototype #1), 8 kg (prototype #2), 7,5 kg (prototype #3) CG: 83-103 mm from the leading edge at the wing joint with the gear in the up position. There is a protrusion on the top of each wing surface to indicate the safe 83mm/25% MAC position. Gear up or down should make little difference because of the low weight of the nose gear. The prototype maidened with CG at approximately 90 mm. 103 mm CG has been tested and flies very well. Needs a large printer. 300x300x300 is recommended. --- Initial control throws: Elevator: Up 18 mm / Down 16 mm Ailerons: Up 20 mm / Down 15 mm Rudder: 15mm / 15 mm Use 30% exponential on all surfaces to reduce center sensitivity. --- Appropriate pilot figure: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2970724 --- Video of the prototype without flaps: https://youtu.be/znbaBhUY25k Maiden videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tShEHO5M5s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp0sF1WKZ7w High speed fly bys and landings compilation: https://youtu.be/KzPiHn8WywE Onboard videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDD7gKV2YSY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_93jys9oADY Various flight videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcE9QgbNThE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZJCof5v06M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYUfhk2Kec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4S3TekVd6I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWw4-YrTFSI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBd4eTZwPW4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnProCnHUOs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EPln7NoYhA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67ruv_F0Jjk --- Build notes and BOM is moved to the text file BuildNotes.txt because of new limitations on Cults when i updated the page 17.11.2020.

rifleman_btx, Amazing looking airframe and forgive my ignorance but it's like something out of Germany's WW2 R&D section or an Indiana Jones movie. No vertical. Outstanding. Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Hi Elbee,
I ended up purchasing a Prusa Mini. It's going through some growing pains as I expected with a new release, so I waited until I'd be in the order que that took several months before shipping to provide them time to fix any "new product blues". Ha-ha. With it, I ordered two filaments of Prusament PETG, which seems like a decent all around versatile filament type without too much trouble printing and no need for an enclosure, yet rather resilient. You all know much more than I do about that though from experience, so I'm all ears.

TC, I think 'ya dun good'. I read up a bit on the 'Mini' and thought it pretty slick. I am surprised that it is a back-order item. That is a good thing if demand is that high. I might recommend you go ahead download the Prusa Slicer PE program for your computer from Prusa and some of the STL files in these forums and get familiar with the options available in the Slicer PE program. It is amazing the differences in print quality by adding or deleting "supports" or which 'face' you place on the printer bed. You might also check out any of the primer videos by Prusa, if you have not already. I refer to those still when trying to improve print quality. Did you purchase the kit version or fully built version. I have used HatchBox PETG and like it for any print that needs strength or is exposed to excessive heat. I use HatchBox PLA mostly and their ABS as well with great results. Best, Steve
It appears the Prusa Mini is sold only as kit (in a way, but requires minimal assembly), but it bolts together with three primary pieces from what I understand from the videos online.
The ETA is mid June for any current orders, so it definitely seems like they are very backed up on orders. I don't mind too much as long as it's not much longer, but a little added delay hopefully helps them sort issues (which there have been some judging by ownere posts on the Prusa forums and YouTube video reviews) before I get mine.

Hey 3DP Gang, General Question: Has anyone found a purpose for all their scrap prints? Recycle, Give Away, Toss It? Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~
