Build Guide: Avro Vulcan B2 RC Model (1/32 scale, 950mm span)

This is the free build guide and test piece for the Avro Vulcan RC model, available on this site as a paid item. The idea is you can see what you are getting yourself into, and what you will need to buy, before you spend any money!

Now includes the micro pusher version for LW-PLA.

Printing is straightforward if your printer has been set up correctly. If you have not done any thin-wall printing before, you should research that before jumping straight into printing this design.

You will need to print the nose section in LW-PLA for the EDF version, but for PSS, a regular PLA part is fine.

Almost all printed pieces should have two solid bottom layers and one perimeter. The exceptions to this are: the wing mounts, the nose joiner and the nose itself. The nose joiner and the nose are single perimeter with no solid layers and the wing mounts should be printed with two solid bottom layers then with 50% infill. A conventional 0.4 mm nozzle was used to give wall thicknesses around 0.4 mm.

A process to give two perimeters to the top 1 mm of some parts may assist with gluing; I’ve left that to your judgment.

The zip archive contains all the STLs needed, but you can choose different versions of parts to print, depending on your available build volume. Minimum build volume is 200 x 200 x 220 mm. The included PDF build guide makes everything clear.
