MODEL Z

Eclipson Model Z is a radio controlled airplane specifically designed to be printed and compatible with LW-PLA.
 Its design is inspired by nature: The structural concept for the wing is the result of millions of years of evolution of several species like trees, insects or birds.  
All this is possible thanks to the design freedom that 3D printing technology give us.

​

​

Model Z is very aerodynamic and efficient thanks to its smooth fuselage, winglets design or wing shape.

​

​

Fuselage can be printed with or without an air intake depending on your own ambient air temperatures, even wheels can be printed with flexible tyres if desired.

Includes:
-STL files

-Cura profiles

-G-codes for PLA and LW-PLA (NEW)

-Decals
