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

[apmech1]

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.

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.

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

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

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.

[RCjetdude]

Very welcome. The tank is awesome!

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

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!

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

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

[apmech1]

Here are the mounting parts.

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.

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 added the flange files to thingiverse. Flange ring 1,2,3 the are in order from front to back. Note, these will only work with spiral or outer shell only prints.

After assembling the fuel tank with spiral printed tank sections and the joiner rings with contact cement, no sanding, no filling, no paint or primer my tank comes in @1.9 Oz.

I have tried to print a part concentric but it still tries to print the inside wall as well. I am using Simplify 3D and what is called Vase Mode. It turns off infill and supports and based on the description of it is supposed to just print the outer shell but what it ends up printing is the inner and outer walls and nothing in between. Do I just have something set wrong?

Could you print a replacement nose cone that would change the bird into an RF-4?

I am using Cura to create the gcode. What version of simplify 3d are you using?
Have you seen this?

Since I dont have the model yet, I would need the dimensions to scale it to, along with a diagram of the RF-4 nose cone.
