Dragonfly Science V2

Adjusted for printing with slic3r.

BODY:
I cut body in 1/2 so no supports needed. Eye hex and crank holes were made larger.

Clean up the body half's & front 3 crank holes first (1/16" bit). Glue the eye section with crazy glue, then glue the tail next. Install the crank. Glue near the crank holes & wing pivots although this is not necessary.

The crank was formed with a 1 mm paper clip & needle nose pliers. The offset was made with a 1/8" nose, the journal was made with a 3/16" nose. Center offset is 1/4".

File the wing pivots to be around 2.8 mm in diameter. Being this is not intended to fly, I used a second 1 mm paper clip for linkage and hand crank. Check the tail hole for fit up and adjust as required. You can used a #57 drill bit if necessary.

WINGS:
Pivot hole was relocate & legs made larger for more strength. Slow the speed to 15 to 20% when getting to the wing legs. 10% 1,3,3,3 with 1 raft. Clean the pivot hole with a 1/8" drill bit & inside of legs with a file. I used a timer to go off when 3 minuets were left so as to not forget to slow the print speed. The material above the wing pivot point is about l.00 mm and fragile. You will have to make a new one if broken.

LEGS:
The legs have been modified for this build. The body tail & crank section has a relief for easier leg fit and slid into place. The plus leg will give a raked look if used for the back one or cut the front leg. Glue when a good balance is achieved if you like.

Very nice build by thinkpool. Will be waiting for the next one.

Please add you location to you profile. I'm always wondering?
