Simple Glider

thingiverse

This is a difficult print. Your bed must be clean and level. The settings are critical to success. The layer thickness is mandatory. Also, the direction of the layers is critical. The 50% infill must be along the axis of the fuselage. The layers for the wings must be along the wings. Here are the Cura settings I changed. They are for PETG. I have also included some screenshots showing the layout on the print bed and the layer angles.name = Airplane PETGdefinition = creality_basetype = quality_changesquality_type = supersetting_version = 20adhesion_type = nonelayer_height = 0.2layer_height_0 = 0.2material_bed_temperature = 85support_enable = Falseintent_category = defaultposition = 0setting_version = 20infill_angles = [ 0]infill_pattern = linesinfill_sparse_density = 50material_initial_print_temperature = 240material_print_temperature = 240material_print_temperature_layer_0 = 240retract_at_layer_change = Trueroofing_layer_count = 2skin_angles = [90, 90 ]skin_material_flow_layer_0 = 110wall_line_count = 1z_seam_type = sharpest_cornerThe print and bed must be cool before you remove it from the bed. If you try too soon you will curl the wings or tail. The wings need folded up to 10 degrees of dihedral and the tail needs to be folded up about 45 degrees. There is a crease printed in to allow the bends. To trim the glider, curl the stabilizer pieces slightly concave when looking from the top. If the glider flies in a wavy pattern then you have curved them too much. This is a fun toy but it really takes practice to print and fly.
