3D model description

Feel the thrill of flight with this one-of-a-kind 3D printed model, the Dove Glider - the tiniest working printable airplane available on cults3d.com. Categorized under Toys & Games/Vehicles, this model reflects high precision and innovative design, making it a perfect toy or even a unique display piece for enthusiasts of all ages.

Designed by the creative CuriousCoon, this 3D model is the epitome of practical design as it has went above and beyond to create a working glider that is perfectly adapted for indoor fun. Its minuscule size raises the question - is this the smallest possible functioning 3D printed glider?

The Dove Glider comes with detailed instructions for preparations that ensure optimal performance. You are required to bend the wings and tail for achieving the ideal aerodynamics. This tiny plane can be launched directly by grabbing it behind the wings and throwing it gently, or from the compatible Glider Launch Crossbow, also designed by CuriousCoon.

Enjoy the images of the Dove Glider model provided, giving you a clear insight into what your finished product would look like. This model's originality and ingenuity truly shine, setting it apart from your standard 3D designs. Join the community at cults3d.com and let your creativity take flight!

Remember to have fun and happy printing!

3D printing settings

3D printing this model requires specific settings for best results. A layer height of 0.1mm is best, with 100% infill and at least 2 outer lines. The glider is rotated 45 degrees along the Z-axis to provide rigidity when bending the wings and stabilizers. Suitable materials for printing include PLA, PETG, ABS, and ASA.
