B2 style glider

thingiverse

I've been attempting to get a design airborne for several weeks now. This is the closest I've come so far, and it does indeed fly, albeit with some effort and directness; it might even become a fun toy to play with, even if you can't manage to make it take flight. I created three primary gliders: a short one made with 100% infill, a long one also made with 100% infill, and another long one printed at just 10% infill. I've been having fun trying to get them airborne and am currently working on a launcher. Print Settings: Printer Brand: Robo 3D Printer Model: R1 ABS + PLA Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: High Infill: Printed at both 10% and 100% Notes: It takes approximately two to three hours, or possibly more, to print. On my Robo 3D printer, I found that tilting the long glider roughly 45 degrees resulted in the best possible print. Custom Section: It requires considerable force to throw effectively but I've managed to get it airborne with a bit of effort. You may want to consider throwing it outdoors for better results. My cat thoroughly enjoys chasing and swatting at it when it's flying through the air, although be cautious not to throw it directly at people or pets as it could potentially cause injury; my cat still insists on chasing it even after I've thrown it, suggesting she finds it entertaining.
