<p>This is a magnetic dart. A normal whiteboard with any drawing on it can be used as a target.<br/> You need to print the paper tail on a "normal" printer, cut it to be square, fold it and insert it in the dart body. (You can create any tail you like).<br/> Further you need a round magnet 10 mm and 5 mm height. You can buy those in the internet (i.e. supermagnets.ch).<br/> Also cut a 2 cm disc with a 1 cm hole to glue around the magnet. This is for shock absorption I used a 3 mm isolation foam.</p> <p>For the tail-fin: there is a .pdf file as an example.<br/> Print out this file borderless preferably on A4 format (American format should not make much of a difference)</p> <p>After printing cut the paper to become square.<br/> Fold the ends along the horizontal line up (Valley fold)<br/> Fold back turn 90 degrees and fold the ends according the vertical line up (Valley fold)</p> <p>Turn the paper over and fold the paper according to the dotted diagonal lines (mountain fold)<br/> Repeat for the other diagonal</p> <p>Than form the fin as shown in the picture (hold the end together with 4 fingers.<br/> Make sure that the tip is "sharp".</p> <p>Insert the tip in the body. The cuts in the body are inside tapered to accommodate the 90 degree angle of the tip.<br/> When you use 80-100g paper, glue is not needed (at least for the result on my 3D-printer, Da Vinci Mini W)</p> <p>I have added some pictures to explain this.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Toy &amp; Game Accessories Summary</h3> <p>This is a magnetic dart.
