- This morning I printed my first plane on to tissue paper
- Happy with it for first attempt
- Doesn’t fly great
- Hard to throw due to design
- I want to design another now
- Wing printed in two parts
- Each wing 25cm in length, making the new one much bigger
- Will keep the span size, lowering the aspect ratio ALOT
- Use a rod from a kite to hold tail on
- Tail will be two parts this time, proper vertical and horizontal sections
- I have printed out a bunch of cubes with holes
- The point of this is to find the ideal hole size that’ll fit the rod I have
- I’ve worked out that the ideal size is somewhere between 3.5mm and 3.0mm
- Doing a last print now hopefully.
- Results are in!
- 3.25mm is the diameter for when the hole is printed flat
- 3.5mm is the diameter for when the hole is printed vertically
- I wonder if that’s a printer issue, or a side effect from printing layers
- I also wonder if print layer height would affect it, I would imagine it would
