3D printer file info

3D model description

For those interested here are some test files from my DH Chipmunk. There is a bit of everything, part of the fuselage, part of the wing and then the complete tail and canopy.
The settings in the 3MF files and accompanying GCODE files are those I use on my Ender 6 with BiQu H2 direct drive extruder. With these settings I successfully printed a Chipmunk with the following filaments, Esun LW PLA and 3Dlab. Colorfabb LW and LW-HT may also work, but I seem to remember that with those filaments the flow rate should be a bit higher for a good result.
So these are the settings I use, but it may be necessary to make some adjustments in the 3MF files so that you get a good result with your printer. Everything is sliced with Cura 5.0.

A few words of explanation for the names of files.
1st, in this case X51 points to the model, to keep order in my archive all my designs have an X number, it's that simple.
2nd, follows the part name F1 (fuselage1), F2, W1 etc.
possibly followed by L or R for left or right. For the STL files I always have only one part, this is then followed by an L or R if necessary. For the other side you simply have to mirror it.
The following are the settings used with LW PLA,
3rd, the infill, e.g. G6 stands for Gyroid 6%, GR10% for 10% grid infill and vase if it is to be printed in vase mode.
4th, flow rate, with the Chipmunk usually 45% when printing with infill, 55% for parts in Vase mode.
5th, is the temperature.
At the very back is the used filament.
In the case of normal PLA, only the used infill and temperature are sometimes preceded by the layer height.
I have tried to keep this for all parts names but don't shoot me if there is a mistake.

What I would like to say is, the STL files are sometimes oriented in a strange way, that is simply because they came out of the CAD program that way. In the 3MF files they are oriented as they are best printed due to overhangs and Z-seams.
As a printer volume, 220x220x220 should suffice for the Chipmunk.

I am working on the final version of the Chipmunk and I hope everything can be done online soon, until then have fun printing the test files. And tell me if anything is wrong or unclear.
