Step-by-Step Build Guide (cont'd)
Step 4.1 Cut Carbon Fiber Tubes to Length
The wing halves are reinforced with carbon fiber tubes running through the full
length of the wing. Cut Six 6mm diameter carbon fiber tubes to 600mm long using
a cutting disk on a rotary tool. In the USA, you can also find vendors who sell these
tubes in 24" lengths, which would eliminate this step. Set the tubes aside for a
later step.
Step 4.2 Cut or Sand Away Any Stringing
When printing with LW-PLA you will likely have some residual stringing. Inspect
all of the printed parts for stringing and use sand paper, a small file or a hobby
knife to eliminate the stringing, especially in areas where parts will mate. You
will find most of the stringing comes off quite easily.
