Lidl Glider Wing Shafts

thingiverse

These shafts are to be used with the much loved £8 Lidl Glider, you'll need a length of 4mm mild steel rod and some 5mm diameter magnets, I used these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Magnet-Expert%C2%AE-5mm-thick-Neodymium/dp/B00TACMMP0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1530996275&sr=8-3&keywords=5mm+magnets The wing shafts have a recess for the magnet to fit into, upto four can be added with space for hot glue to hold them in place. The shafts should be printed with a 100% infill, i used a 0.2mm layer height which seems just fine, after printing use a 4mm drill bit to clear any bits not wanted then using a drill with the steel rod attacked spin the rod within the shaft, this will heat the PLA and shape it so a smooth action can be achieved, for lubrication i used silicone grease.
