3d Printed Part Sets - Freewing F-4D Phantom II

[Dirty Dee]

Looks great! Would love to see it scaled down for the Phantom

Thanks! The STL files should be able to be scaled in most slicer softwares. If that isn't the case let me know and I can export one scaled specifically for the phantom.

I am wanting to do a walleye and a bullpup. For anything else, post picks and the the designation ex: MK82 Snake eye, any drawings with dimensins if possible but not required. And indicate the desired scale.

Here are the mounting parts.

Any suggestions or requests for 3d parts for these airplanes?

What we have is fantastic. What we seem to be missing is maybe some different bombs?

He made the mounting brackets separate parts within the centerline tank files...print away.

Hi, thanks a lot for the ones that you've done already! They're awesome! I am going to print a tank after you do the "joiner rings" mod that you mentioned.

In the meantime - I printed a centerline tank pylon. Its designed to accept the F16 mounting tabs, which have been on backorder for the past 200 years. Any chance you could make a separate 3D part to replace that piece, designed to fit into the void space you built into your pylon? Thank you!

Very welcome. The tank is awesome!

I have completed some ordnance / external storea and uploaded them to thingiverse.

A big thanks to rcjetdude for the help with the 600 gal centerline tank.

Awesome! I've been needing one of those for my A-10 for a while now. Thanks!

For anyone considering to modify their phantom into an F-4G wild weasel, here is the AN/ALQ-119 ECM pod I just finished. It's scaled to 1/10th for the A-10, but can be scaled down for the F4.

apmech1, you should create a thingiverse account to host your designs. several people have been uploading parts specific for their freewing planes on that site.

regarding the 600 gallon fuel tank, I have one I made in 1/10th scale and confirmed via the software that it is sized correctly for 600gallons. you can download the file and import in into yours, scale it for reference if you want. Or I can export from solidworks to another format that you can use.

Thx! I created an account. I can publish them tomorrow! Thx for the 600 gal tank.

And there we have it. A little glue, a little filler, and some paint and I think I’m good to go!

Thanks to apmech for poInting me in the direction of layer thickness, I learned a little bit in the process and cut my print times in half while keeping an acceptable quality.

I’ve got just a little tweaking to do and will share files for anyone interested.

Those look awesome! I just updated all my files with the 2 pin system. really lines them up good.... Now I just need a plane to put them on! :)

[apmech1]

600 Gallon Fuel tank. I didn't have that good of drawings to go off of on this one. There are 2 stl files for this one and they are huge.

[apmech1]

SUU 23. Came up with some better interlocking pins. .STL File is >5MB Zipped. Maybe I can send the files to one of the moderators and they can add them.

[apmech1]

Looking good. So, you doing the centerline tank next? :Drooling:

yep in work now.

[bbaumer]

Ok, here is the file, I've set this up to be a full print, within a Z limit of 100mm which is a personal restriction of my printer

Note this file is in imperial units, and should be imported in inches) the diameters should check out to be 0.6933" or about 17.6mm

Other Notes:

I recommend using rafts particularly at the fins, and supports in the hollow areas of the cylinders and the bottom of the cone

I went with about 10% interior fill pattern, and this still weighs in at about 47grams in PLA ( but we all need a little nose weight anyway it seems)

4 fins forward and rear are included, but you may only need 3 depending on your mounting method.

There are no indexes include to align the sections, a bit of modelling skill will be required.

The fins are compression fit, and you may need to trim/sand/chamfer the edges to get them into the slots, depending on the shrinkage of your material and accuracy of your print.

If you are an absolute scale nut, this is not that, it's designed to fit well on this model and give the appearance of a full scale missile.

If anyone really needs or wants this broken into individual components, let me know, or the cad file is available as well.

Use at your own risk, and good luck!

I think Estes may make smaller rockets than this!

8.5 hour print, I'm seeing a few offsets, nothing a little prep work won't cure , I could have gone for thinner layers, but I think for their purpose these will be fine, and I hadnt done a full set print yet, wanted to prove the file was good to go

Awesome! Looking forward to the file. Thank you.
