Print Settings Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: .2mm layers Infill: 30% Notes: Printing Instructions: ABS or PET is preferred for durability. Bed must be leveled and printer adjusted to produce good single layer prints. Measurement and calibration of your filament is highly recommended. Use .2mm or .1mm layer height, 30% infill, with 2 outer perimeters. Designed to print with 0.5mm or smaller nozzle. Orient model so that first layer infill is printed parallel to the span of the wings. Diagonal infill in the wings will result in a model that will not easily fly straight. Use a spatula or similar tool to carefully lift the print from the print bed. The wings are easily damaged by bending during removal. A printable one is included in the zip file, along with more comprehensive instructions. Post-Printing Download the .zip file for instructions on building and flying this glider.
