Future of flying - Print your own plane. flight video
You simply have to try this one, our very best and most advanced plane so far. Using all
the experience gained from our previously released EDGE 540 and its 64” version we de-
signed this even bigger evolution including some revolutionary features. For the first time
this model presents a brand new method of joining parts - stronger, easier to assemble and
more precise.
And again, the flight characteristics have improved not only by lowering the overall wing
loading, but also by better weight distribution, and improved aerodynamics. Large control
surfaces with allows for performing extreme 3D maneuvers, while precision and symmetry
of the wing profile predetermines this RC model plane to flying scale precision aerobatics.
The unique servo direct drive technology used for ailerons links the control surfaces directly
to the servos without any backlash with maximum precision and immediate response to the
sticks.
According to the settings and equipment this plane can be recommended to both medi-
um skilled, and even highly experienced 3D aerobatics pilots. We hope you enjoy printing,
building and flying it, although this build will truly test your abilities and quality of your
printer.
Welcome to the thin wall printing!
The first fully printable airplanes with files prepared for your 3Dprinter, with
flight characteristics, comparable or even supperior to classic build model airplane.
This is not a dream, now you can print this HI-TECH at home. Simply download and print
the whole plane or spare parts anytime you need just for a cost of filament only about $30
Extensive hi-tech 3d structural reinforcement making the model very
rigid while maintaining a lightweight airframe and exact airfoil even it’s just a plastic. This
perfect and exact 3d structure is possible only thanks to additive 3dprinting technology. So
welcome to the 21st century of model flying and be the first at your airfield.
Easy to assemble, you don’t need any extra tools or hardware. Just glue the print-
ed parts together. The rest of the assembly is very easy. Simply add brushless motor, ESC,
servos and radio system. Detailed step by step PDF/VIDEO is included. You will get a superb
performing precise and 3D aerobatic capable plane.

Zivko EDGE 540v3, History
The Edge 540, manufactured by Zivko Aeronautics, is as precise and controllable as it is
aggressive. The small, one-seater aircraft is a favourite amongst Red Bull Air Race pilots,
largely due to its fuselage.
The computer optimised, steel tube frame makes the Edge 540 an extremely light, very
durable and easily repairable raceplane.
Using an unconventional straight-edged wing, the Edge 540 sparked much interest in flying
circles around the world, particularly after Kirby Chambliss began using it for aerobatic
competitions. The aircraft has since evolved into the highly refined and technologically
advanced version of the original prototype, with the radical wing now acknowledged as a
pioneering feat of design.
Martin Sonka
Martin Šonka (born March 26, 1978 in Dvůr Králové nad Labem) is a Czech aerobatics
(unlimited) and a former fighter pilot in the Czech Air Force. He has raced in Red Bull Air Race
World Championship since 2010,[1] becoming the World Champion in the 2018 Red Bull Air
Race World Championship season.
Martin Šonka began his aviation career in 1997. In this year he flew a glider for the first time
and started his studies at University of Defence in Brno as a pilot. In 1999 he gained his Private
Pilot Licence. Between 2001 and 2005 he attended Jan Perner Transport Faculty at University
of Pardubice (Department of Transport Management, Marketing and Logistics). He finished
his studies with a master‘s degree in 2005.
His military career started in 2000 in Pardubice. Two years after he moved to the air base in
Náměšť nad Oslavou and in 2006 to 21st Tactical Air Force Base at Čáslav where he began
flying L-159 Alca. In 2012 he has finished the type rating for the Saab JAS 39 Gripen. In 2014
he was forced to leave the army due to his busy racing schedule.
In 2005 he became a member of the Czech national aerobatic team. He used to fly Su-31,
however in the past few years he is training and competing with Extra 300SR.
In 2009 Šonka passed all Red Bull Air Race qualifying camps and gained The Red Bull Air Race
Super Licence. Then he was nominated for a 2010 season rookie.

Included:
1. STL 3d files
Universal STL files designed for use with desktop FDM 3D printers and slicer software such
as Simplify3D (recommended) CURA or MatterControl (these STLs are not compatible with
Slic3r or Makerware slicers).
2. Factory files for Simplify3D slicer
with all our settings, these Factory files include all you need. Note: we use PRUSA i3 ORIGINAL
printers so you may need to adjust the basic printing parameters to match your printer or use
it as a starting point for you. Please look at Simplify3D
3. Step By Step PDF/VIDEO userguides
Please use this user guide along with the Printing Guide where you can find Tips and Advice
for airplane printing (Thin Wall Printing).

Ifyou‘reunsure your printer can handle this project, download
the test part from our FORUM (usually the largest part)
1. Create account, download
You‘ll get the download link for all zipped files to your email, or log in to your account and
download directly from our website. If you don‘t receive the link right on checkout, please
receipt)
2. Gcodes preparing
option A Gcodes:
If your printer is i3 compatible you can directly use the prepared gcodes. Simply save each to
an SD card and let 3d printer do his job. The HE temperature is set to 225°C for the best layer
bonding. You can edit speed and temperature on your printer LCD only. If prepared gcodes
doesn‘t work for you, please proceed to the next options...

option B FACTORY files for Simplify3D (recommended)
We prepared all you need in the factory files (basic FFF profiles, parts arranged on the bed,
etc.) Use our settings as a starting point and edit according to your needs (adapt it for your
printer), choose the parts to print etc. Most 3d printers should be ok with files as they are,
however if you need some customization, please do so. We are not liable for any damage
resulting from the use of our settings. If you still encounter any dificulties, please proceed to
the next option.
option C Simplify3D manual setting (watch and learn)
Use our VIDEOGUIDE and how-to to find explanation of proper settings. This is great option
to learn a lot about Simplify3D and become a 3D expert. Of course you spend a lot of time
and the youtube pause button will become your friend. For simplification we explain only
our basic settings for wings and fuselage, please consult our prepared Factory files for the
right settings of other parts like motor mounts, landing gears etc.
