There is a Sketchup File, FlashPrint files (fpp) and STL files.
I print the cabin with supports, the tail with supports and the tail rotor blade with supports. The Cabin, Tail and then everything else (two blades, tail rotor, platform, post, connector) for a total of 3 prints.

According to the design notes, Huey Helicopter takes approximately 1 hours to print at standard settings (0.2 mm layer height, 15% infill). Actual print time varies based on your printer speed, layer height, and infill density.
What file format is Huey Helicopter available in?
Huey Helicopter is available in STL format. These files can be opened and sliced using free software such as Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, or OrcaSlicer for FDM printing, or ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer for resin printing. The download is provided through Thingiverse.
Is Huey Helicopter free to download?
Yes, Huey Helicopter is available as a free download through Thingiverse. Always check the license on the original platform to understand commercial use, remixing, and attribution requirements.
