Fully printed UAV/FPV plane

[American 3D Printing]

I just did a quick search on HIPS and the thing that is most interesting to me is that is 20% lighter than PLA, that would be a huge advantage for a plane, in the case of the Nomad it would automatically reduce the weight by 80 grams, from 650 to 570. So I'm going to give it a try to use it in final prints, I still prefer PLA for the development, it prints so easy without a heatbead (no time wasted in cooling down after print) and with no fumes.

When we first got our HIPS we were told to heat the bed to 50°C. Subsequently we discovered that it doesn't need heat at all. If you're using a glass bed spreading some ABS juice around will help it stick a little better.
