Print Settings: Rafts - Any settings work fine. Supports - Supports are not necessary. Resolution - Best results at .2mm layer thickness. Infill - Print with 30% infill for a perfect blend of speed and durability. Printing Instructions: Choose ABS or PETG filament for the best strength-to-weight ratio. To print accurately, your bed must be perfectly levelled and calibrated. Measure and adjust your filament to get top-notch single-layer prints. Use .2mm or .1mm layer heights, 30% infill, and 2 outer perimeters for a seamless experience. A nozzle size of 0.5mm or smaller is the ideal match for this design. To print the first layer successfully, position your model with the wing span parallel to the infill pattern. Otherwise, your glider won't fly in a straight line! Carefully use a tool like a spatula to gently lift the finished model off the bed. Remember that winged prints are very sensitive to bending forces - keep your gliders flat.
