3D printed LW-PLA wing

I switched to UtilMaker for more control of the Cura slicer settings and the surface defects are no longer. Printed the largest section I could on a Creality CR-20S, 10" of span, 1/4 of the wing. 180 grams. Balsa + monokote sheeted foam would be lighter, stronger and survive bad landings better, but for certain LW-PLA is fine for fuselage and probably tail surfaces.
