Bolt PWC · R5 build plates
R5.1 · gear mounts fit without pads
R5.1 closes the gear-deck gap in the four printed mounts. Each bearing base is now 7 mm thick and seats directly against the existing plywood deck. No separate bearing pads are needed. Use the same M4×30 and M3×25 deck bolts with washers and locknuts; the base + deck + doubler stack is 7+6+6 = 19 mm. Check actual washer thickness and full locknut engagement. Keep the supplied print orientations and inspect the sliced layers with supports off before printing.

Complete current airframe and retained fit samples. Start with samples and the R5 mount-fit plates before the rest of the aircraft. R5 mount-fit plates contain actual installed parts, not additional miniature assemblies. Import geometry-only 3MF into Bambu Studio, choose H2D and the intended material profile, retain orientations and leave supports off. A brim may be used. Inspect every sliced layer before printing; these files contain no G-code.
