Considered to be a progressive and modern fighter at that time, the ME 109 included features such as: The Messerschmitt Bf 109 is also often referred to as the ME 109, and was a German World War II fighter aircraft created in the early to mid 1930s. Dokoupil points out that for this latest model release, they made ‘many and further improvements’ since their last project. Scale is 1:12, and the plane features a wingspan of 1032mm (40.6in) / 890mm (35.0in). This allows for better durability in landings-especially if they are rough. Inbuilt, printed bowden lines are included in the model for the rudder and elevator, with the joint wings and fuselage made so that they are partially flexible. The fun, however, is in the flying, and there’s more on the way now as Dokoupil releases his latest package, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 H/F, with two options in size. From winning the Battle of Britain all over again to downloading, printing, and flying a P51-D Mustang Model Airplane or even making your own landing conversion kit, 3DLabPrint is a model plane hobbyist’s dream-especially if they have easy access to 3D printing.įounded by Štěpán Dokoupil, a Czech Republic-based designer who is also an architect and a pilot, the model plane site will definitely allow you to learn, or re-learn, a bit about history-and of course, aircraft. Be the first at your airfield.” It’s always exciting to take flight with 3DLabPrint, a company we’ve covered many times in regards to their 3D printable planes and other items, along with a running list of concepts and ideas.

As you can see from the video below, the finished Lightning flies very well according to 3DLabPrint, you should be able to fly it for at least seven straight minutes at full throttle with speeds exceeding 110 kph.“Welcome to the 21th century of model flying. 3DLabPrint recommends printing in PLA with a heated bed, and you’ll need a printer with a build area of at least 195 x 195 x 150 mm.

Step-by-step instructions are included with the plane in both PDF and video form. Once you’ve 3D printed the plane itself, you just need to purchase the servos, ESC, brushless motor and radio system. No tools are needed for assembly it can all be glued together.
The plane is designed to be strong and durable yet lightweight, with structural reinforcement in both the wings and fuselage that keep its shape rigid.
Like 3DLabPrint’s other model airplanes, the Lockheed P-38 Lightning was designed for home desktop 3D printers, so all files are prepared for home printing with universal STL files and settings for Simplif圓D, Cura, and MatterControl. “We still trying move things further, so also this project is full of other improvements for better durability, easier assembly, better geometry solution and so on…we hope you enjoy it, although this print may test your competencies to and quality of your printer (welcome to thin wall printing),” states the 3DLabPrint team. This model also contains several general improvements to make printing and assembling it more user-friendly, although it will still be a nicely challenging project. Features include retractable and steerable landing gear, flaps for more effective takeoff and landing, and inbuild bowden lines for twin rudders, ailerons and elevator. As founder Stepan Dokoupil tells, the team spent a lot of time on the plane’s design and development.

The model, which has a wingspan of 1410 mm (55.5 in) is available for download from 3DLabPrint for $40. The latest addition to their catalog is the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, an American fighter plane flown in World War II. Meticulously researched and designed, the models include well-known 20th century fighter planes such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109 H/F, the P51-D Mustang, the Spitfire Mark XVI, and more. The Czech company has created a sizable collection of 3D printable model planes based on historical aircraft. Companies like 3DLabPrint, which designs and sells high-quality 3D files of historically accurate model airplanes for printing, are proving that the art form may be changing, but it’s still alive and well. I doubt that traditional model-building will ever completely vanish, but the craft has been transformed – and some would say revitalized – by 3D printing. Building model airplanes – and cars, and ships, and trains, or other model modes of transportation – is an art form that some enthusiasts fear is dying as classic crafts are being taken over by newer, more high-tech pursuits.
