The Forum

I learnt a new trick today, how to pause the printer and then change the spool. I had been patiently waiting beside the printer till it got to the top layer and manually pausing it to change the spool to white for the text. Then I found a neat trick right in Cura that does exactly that... From Cura's main menu, choose Extensions -> Post Processing -> Modify G-Ccode Click the "Add a script" button Choose "Change filament at height" Enter the desired layer in the "Pause at layer" box Another small tip is to bolden up your text. I've been redoing the text using Futura Book Bold. There is a point where if it is too smal then cura just garbles it up by missing stuff.

first off thanks for all the work and time you put into this. i am having a blast building this plane. i do have a question on the overhead panels. i am just about done all the prints on this one. waiting on the switch's to get here. but i do not know all the light labels or proper placements is there a place i can get this and print them out i am guessing i could use transparent paper to print them and place them in the slots but i can not find nowhere to get them. sorry if this was asked before i did check the forum and did not see nothing on it. sorry for my grammar < working on it lol

Hope Karl doesn't mind me leaving this here. I don't know if any one has mentioned it elsewhere. I found an error on the parts list for the 12v Panel light (the parking break light). The part is listed as a 22mm cut out pilot light in the required hardware, but the cut out itself is only 16mm. Am loving the plan so far. I've printed all my parts (took 2 weeks) and got all my components ready, but I'm reprinting a couple of the handle parts again as I wasn't happy with my first choice of white PLA - a fibre one from Protopasta. I'm redoing them with PolyMax now. If I come across anything else I'll list it here.
