Description

PDF

A very light yet strong card, that includes an aerofoil which generates asymmetrical lift, which in turn makes the cards glide in spirals, with greater accuracy. Just a couple of grams to print a bunch, and very fun to throw!

They are easier to throw than normal cards, and with some practice you can make them fly long! Because of the rotation, you can aim at things and they will (more less) fly to the target. Its not bullet-accuracy, because of the twirls it makes while flying, but you sure can turn off light switchs :D!

 

Print at 0.1 or 0.2mm layer, and be careful when removing from bed.

The aerofoil is optimized for right-handed people, so just mirror it to use the left hand.

 

Updated: v2 added, enhanced asymmetrical lift (aka boomerang effect) and better quality for 0.1mm
