thingiverse

This glider is a great tool to check your bed-level! and in a single print you can have a fun toy to fly around the house, or the yard. Set the Size to set the length of the glider - wings, nose weight and tail are automatically scaled to flyable proportions. Set the flthick to the first Layer thickness you use on your printer- This will set the wing and tailfin thickness so only one layer is printed the Vertical stabilizer is on the bottom side. once printed, lay it on the edge of a table and give the elevators a crease upward. then pull the wing tips together to give the wings a slight upward dihedral angle. Give it a toss! Smaller versions (40-80mm fly OK indoors, you'll probably need to check that the wings and tail are straight after every throw, also toss it VERY softly for the little ones) Larger versions (120mm+ fly fairly well indoors or out - Full elevator deflection for loops!, and you can fling them as hard as you want!) Watch it printing! https://youtu.be/dEFvw7LRwAQ Print Settings Printer: QUBD Two Up Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .4mm or less. Infill: 50% for proper flying weight. Notes: Set flthick to match the First Layer thickness you normally print with.
