XBLR-3 (3D printables 1)

5,236 McChezborger  3 months ago

Hi there! I know I haven’t been here for a while, so to kick off my return, I’ve started a new series called the 3d printables. These are simple aircraft replicas that are easy to print.

For the first entry in the series, I built the Sikorsky XBLR-3.

The Sikorsky XBLR-3 was an experimental bomber design developed by Sikorsky Aircraft to compete in the United States Army Air Corps "Project D" design competition of 1935.[1][2] In March 1936 the USAAC canceled the Sikorsky XBLR-3 in favor of the remaining two competitors: the Boeing XBLR-1 (Later XB-15) and the Douglas XBLR-2 (Later XB-19). The XBLR-3 was one of the last fixed wing aircraft designed by the Sikorsky company.-Wikipedia.

I would not recommend printing this any scale above 1/250th, as it is very large and could possibly not fit on your printing bed.

I will answer other printing questions in the comments.
