Printable Maple Seed Samara

thingiverse

This is a functional printed maple seed samara. Printing parameters are crucial due to the wing's thinness. I am working on an improved version that is easier to print, but it needs more development before release. Print with 100% infill, 0.04mm or possibly 0.08mm layer height. Be cautious when removing from the bed. As a fully infilled object, setting extrusion parameters correctly beforehand is vital. Check your % overlap settings and adjust them as close to 0 as feasible. The wing consists of two very thin layers, so getting them just right is essential for success. Despite this, they should rotate properly even with a damaged wing if the center of mass is in the correct position.
