As ttabbal said that will be hard to achieve with printing. An “everyday” Quad? That should fine printed I would think. I am building a RC plane and you can look in there and see how I am approaching weight savings. Mainly lots of holes! 🙂 Plus I am going to incorporate CF into my designs but not printed CF. I will have pics of the CF incorporation posted by tomorrow. > [@RC Airplane Project](https://forum.lulzbot.com/t/rc-airplane-project/4328/1): > > I was asked some questions about my project in a filament thread so I thought, hey just start a project thread! First off I am using SketchUp make. You can get it here if you want. [http://www.sketchup.com/download](http://www.sketchup.com/download). When you download you get the full blown “pro” tool but at the end of the 30 day trial period they grey out some menu items and you get the free version. I found it a great and intuitive CAD tool. It only takes hours to get fairly good at it (but of course, I learn new stuff and get … In the meantime here is a buddies project incorporating CF tubes into his printed structure: ![chucks_wing.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/lulzbot/original/2X/f/f420adf3dd73e7b1491046beab5058b4ab20096b.jpeg) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.lulzbot.com/t/carbon-fibre-fiber-filament-on-taz6/4359)._
