Aerobo (inspired by Aerobie Frisbee ring)

thingiverse

The Aerobo flying disk draws inspiration from an Aerobie-inspired cross-section, as detailed in https://doi.org/10.1119/1.2342103 . The disk soars steadily and level at a range of flight speeds in outdoor conditions, despite gusts of wind that can cause the disk to rise and fly above your target's head. The cross-section is defined by the .svg vector graphic file. This file scales, translates, and rotationally extrudes the cross-section using the .scad file. You can modify the cross-section by editing the .svg file in Inkscape, or modify the ring dimensions parametrically by editing the .scad file. It is strongly recommended to print in TPU. While a PLA or ABS version of this could potentially be used for frisbee golf, the sharp rigid object could be hazardous for catching partners or neighbor's windows. For cosmetic reasons, consider turning on ironing and using "concentric" pattern for the top layers. A video of this disk in flight can be viewed at https://photos.app.goo.gl/2ViGNYji3kVgYzTi6
