I’ve opted to start a new blog page, archiving the old one to review on the second upon. I will get more creative and organized as it continues throughout the times. I am putting forward also, more updates and the rest on the Facebook page, which is rather an extension of this when it comes down to it. https://www.facebook.com/groups/happyrcflyer . The prior one is at https://happyrcflyer.com/blog/
As I venture forth here upon, my original idea, just to have a personal page about my RC world, now, turning into not only an ongoing series of kits I design and produce, it’s combined with advancing the capacity for the main operation at Espresso Outfitters, EspressoOutfitters.com, Espresso-Outfitters.com respectively, this is moving things forward upon unprecedented levels, things in both industries! Levels of sophistication, well above then what has been done before. I am also in tangent, creating a resource for people to learn from, getting them building and the rest.
With the addition of the 3d printer, this allows for so many options that can be pursued in the design element. Options opened up here allow for more capacity along sophistication which in the past would normally require a big overhead and investment, it’s also super helpful on the design aspect for that matter to make things work and not require too much effort for the kit builders. Still, I am using it for the additions for the full build out of traditional materials, I have no plans for a full 3d printed plane.
My process takes in 2d, what are used for the laser cutter, into the 3d software environment, in this case it’s Blender by name, https://www.blender.org for the url and download. It’s a process to convert and use, thus the tutorial shown here from the Drawing board page or otherwise, a good resource to draw upon to learn. The 2d files, most .dxf or Cad format will do, being able to take them to 3d, few people consider, yet they have advantages going this route in many ways. From there though, it’s now capable for 3d printing, not just laser cutting stock.
