Mini zippable flying disc

thingiverse

Hi everyone! This is a mini flying disc that's designed to be thrown like a skipping stone. If you're interested in this project and want news about my designs, follow me on Instagram: engineli_3d. It was inspired by the original Zipchip, but I designed this version to be easily printable. After several attempts, it's now stable and will fly over 30m with ease. The STL file I'm uploading is for a 50mm disc, but you can scale it up by 1.24 times to reach the original diameter of a Zipchip, or even more if you prefer. You can adjust your infill settings to vary the weight of the disc. A lighter disc will float better over shorter distances, while a heavier disk is ideal for long throws. Remember to throw the disc parallel to the ground to achieve a straight and stable flight, as shown in the picture. With a little practice, you'll be a pro!
