Hexagon Kite

thingiverse

I was excited to find a simple kite project to work on with my kids, but I wasn't impressed by the kites available online. So I decided to start printing out the parts for a Hexagon kite instead. This particular design is tailored specifically for round wood from beech and spinnaker nylon, which is ideal for creating sturdy and reliable frames. Printer Settings * Printer: I'm using my trusty Turnigy Fabrikator 3D printer for this project. * Rafts: For this print job, I've chosen to go without a raft to simplify the process and reduce post-processing time. * Supports: Since we're working with spinnaker nylon, which has a tendency to stretch under stress, I'm adding supports to provide additional stability during the printing process. * Resolution: With an infill of 0.2mm, we'll be able to achieve high-quality prints that showcase the intricate details of this design. * Infill: I've decided on an infill density of 30% for maximum structural integrity while keeping the weight as minimal as possible. By making these settings adjustments, we can ensure a successful print and get ready to create a fantastic kite that my kids will love flying.
