Asymmetric 3 Boomerang

prusaprinters

<p>Although this was drawn from scratch, those with a bit of boomerang history under their belt will recognize that this is basically a remix of Axel Heckner's <a href="http://kutek.net/boomplans/boomerang_plans/triller.php">Triller</a>. Or maybe it's a <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5198096">Lambda</a> with a really long stub wing.</p><p>The wings are not swept forward as drastically, so it is not quite as aggressive. Depending on your tuning (wings bent up or down slightly), you can throw this like a fast catch (wings bent slightly downwards), or just use it for casual throwing (wings neutral or slightly bent upwards).</p><p>I've included both a "regular" and a "blunt" version. The blunt one has a more chunky airfoil which might be useful in high winds or if you want to throw really hard. I prefer the regular version for recreational throwing, though.</p><p>Here's a video of some throws and catches:&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/YR3m--vtMuU"></oembed></figure><h3>Print Settings</h3><h4><strong>Resolution:</strong></h4><p>0.2 mm / 0.6 mm nozzle</p><h4><strong>Infill:&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>25%</p><h4><strong>Filament:</strong>&nbsp;</h4><p>3djake PLA Neon Orange</p><p>Print with lots of perimeters (I used 5) and top and bottom layers (e.g. 4). I print boomerangs with bigger nozzles in the .6 to 1 mm range; a regular .4 mm nozzle will work just fine, though.</p><h4><strong>How I Designed This</strong></h4><p>Made in Onshape.
