A flying butterfly toy that flies only using a rubber band. Wind it up and let it loose or place it inside a birthday card or something to freak out your loved ones.
Four different styles, three of which have patterns on the wings. The patterns adds a little bit of mass and might reduce how well they will fly so I also uploaded them without the patterns.
Printing instructions:
0.15mm layer height
(Recommend a 0.2mm initial layer height as the wings are only one layer, also make sure to have a well leveled bed)
10-20% Infill
No supports or rafts.
How to make it fly:
Connect the two hooks with a rubber band and spin it about 40-50 times.
Adding a drop of oil to the top hook makes it spin better.
You can also heat up the wings slightly with a lighter or heat gun and bend them opposite directions to improve flight.
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
