3D model description

Fun little paper plane launcher I built with my kids this weekend. Slightly too large gear ratio - the load is minimal so go for the smallest ratio you can find. I've ordered another set of motors which will send them away at an even higher speed. :D

What you will need:
* Makeblock set
* 25mm DC engines (lowest gear ratio you have), 4mm axis
* Assorted screws
* Two of each of the printable parts
* Two O-rings (R-32, I/D 50.39 mm, O/D 57.46 mm, Section 3.53 mm)

I printed mine with both extruders at the same time to save time, and didn't have patience to switch out the color - that's why half the parts are black and half the parts are white.

Here is a (very) short video of me launching one:
