Dornier Do-26 simplified cnc/laser

thingiverse

This simplified model of the classic float plane was originally inspired by the Lasercut mini F16, even if the design is a little more complex. My build was done on a desktop cnc-machine by Stepcraft from 6 mm beech plywood using a spiral-toothed 1.2 mm flute. Glued together and nicely sanded it's a great toy for boys (of different age). A laser cutter might be a good alternative tool to create smaller versions. Visit https://www.zenziwerken.de/en/Spielsachen/Flugzeugmodelle for more designs.

How I Designed This I searched 3-view drawings of this plane to create the outlines. I traced the images in Illustrator and carved out the main features. The slots were a result of trail and error. Before building the plane I did a 3D validation in SketchUp. Then I nested the parts as close as possible for production on a cnc-router.
