... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com Cessna 152, History The Cessna 152 is an American two-seat, fixed tricycle gear, general aviation airplane, used primarily for flight training and personal use. It was based on the earlier Cessna 150, including a number of minor design changes and a slightly more powerful engine running on 100LL aviation gasoline. First delivered in 1977 as the 1978 model year, the 152 was a modernization of the proven Cessna 150 design.
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com Included: 1. STL 3d files Universal STL files designed for use with desktop FMD 3d printers and slicer software such as Simplify3D (recommended) CURA or MatterControl (these STLs are not compatible with Slic3r or Makerware slicers). 2. Factory files for Simplify3D slicer with all our settings, these Factory files include all you need.
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com 4. Gcodes Basic Gcodes prepared for direct use, as universal as is possible. Should work with i3 style printers, you can try it out, but We cannot guarantee that it will work with your printer. 100% works with PRUSA i3 ORIGINAL 3d printers. 5. Prepared settings for CURA and MatterControl slicers If you don‘t like Simplify3D for any reason, there is always the possibility to use another free slicer.

... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com Step By Step PDF/VIDEO userguide 1. Choose airplane at www.3Dlabprint.com. Our Facebook for live information. Basic requirements for Cessna 152 is 195/195/150mm build volume. Nozzle 0.4mm recommended (0.35 or 0.5mm alternativelly). Heated bed recommended. PLA filament (or PETG, APLA, htPLA, PC-max.... not ABS) and some flex for tires... If you feel a little bit confused you can download test part from our FORUM (usualy the biggest part) 2.
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com option B Factory files Simplify3D (recommended) We prepare all you need in thess files (basic FFF, parts arranged and so on...) You can use our setting as a starting point and edit it as you need (adapt it for your printer), print only parts you need and so on... On most 3d printers it should work as it is, but please look at the settings and edit it if it is different for your printer. We are not liable for damages resulting from the use of our settings.
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com option D CURA or MatterControl (but note: we recommend Simplify3D) MatterControl and CURA are free :-) and also give very good results and the airframe is still strong enough. The slicer setting is very easy. Please try to find the right extrusion multiplier and temperature for good weight and best layer bonding. Look at parts weight list for proper multiplier settings.
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com 4. Print it Save generated Gcodes and insert SD card to your printer, prepare your printer and start printing. We prefer to use SD rather than a direct connection via USB Note: ABS filament is not suitable for this. Scaling the model will lead to unusable result! Note: ninja flex or simmilar fillaments can glue very hard to PEI based surfaces be careful...
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com Basic Tips and Advice Please experiment with your extrusion multiplier. Also HotEnd temperature is very important for a strong result. Please try increasing the temperature to find the best value (215° up to 260° Celsius). Turn OFF cooling fan for better layer adhesion (HE fan of course ON). We don‘t need it for our thin wall printing. You can use cooling fan for thick parts... We try lot of filaments and so far PLA is still the best for our models (2017).
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com 5. Assembling printed parts 5.1 Wing assembly Glue wing parts with CA glue together (position locks will help you), use activator. Install ailerons and flaps. You can use snap knife to clearing shape of some printed parts (mainly for the installation of the flaps and ailerons), but mostly it is not necessary.
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com 5.2 Fuselage assembly Glue wing parts with CA glue together (position locks will help you) use activator. You can use snap knife to clearing shape of printed parts....
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com 5.3. Fuselage tail - rudder, elevator pushrods and servos Now is good time for install tail stabilzers, elevator, rudder and pushrods. Simply push 1 mm pushrods wires to back part of fuselage (into printed bowden). Make Z bend or use your liked pushrods attachment, we like this Pushrod Keepers. Thread pushrods and glue the elevator and rudder in correct position with CAglue. Cut rudder clearence for elevator movement with soldering Iron or any hot tool.
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com 6.1 Landing gear - nose Wow, printed springs! Yes it works! If you have doubts, you can use conventional metal springs of appropriate size(use to and bottom from printed one). Glue splited parts of landing gear and landing legs together. Sand it or use knife for smoth movement inside. Push pins to holes and check correct legs functionality. Use 60mm wheel or print it(included)! Print tyres from ninjaflex or do experiment with any new rubber fillaments.
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com 6.2 Landing gear - main Glue splited parts of landing gear and landing legs together. Sand it or use knife for smoth movement inside. Push pins to holes and check correct legs functionality. Use 70-75mm wheel or print it (included)! Print tyres from ninjaflex or do experiment with any new rubber fillaments. You can add some perimeter/shells in slicer setting if you need more strong tyres or LG legs....
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com Snap knife 8. RC equipment and next Pushrods installing Mount servo wire extenders at ailerons servos. Install servos and pushrods with Z blend for servo/controll arms or use your liked pushrods attachment, we like this Pushrod Keepers. Loosen the small screws on the motor body holding the shaft. Use a hammer to get the shaft in the correct position over a wooden block. Tighten the screws. Remove the retaining ring is not necessary.
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com 9.1 Final completion and setting Install your receiver, connect battery, setup servos and etc. with your trasmitter, check servo position, then install propeller. Set recommended deflection from videoguide. Check CoG point (see CG- tags on wings) Make sure that the battery is placed properly and secured.
... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com 10. Pilots Please Attention! For the first flights we recommend to set the center of gravity of the airplane by about 5 mm forward of the CG tag - nose heavy, this increases the stability (you can use heavier battery). Also is good to increase expo settings on your transmitter for elevator and aileron to 60 % (this calms response from your stick inputs). Also you can decrease elevator and ailerons deflection. Make sure the battery is well fixed in proper position.
