A tiny ultra-light 3D printed micro glider that actually flies.

 

This minimalist glider weighs only ~3 grams and prints in about 10 minutes, making it one of the fastest flying prints you can make.


The simple aerodynamic design allows it to glide smoothly when thrown gently, turning a small print into a surprisingly fun flying toy.


Because it prints so quickly, you can easily print multiple gliders and test which one flies the farthest.
 

Why you’ll like it
✈️ Ultra fast print – around 10 minutes
✈️ Super lightweight – only about 2g
✈️ Simple design – no supports required
✈️ Actually flies with a smooth glide
✈️ Perfect for kids, experiments and quick prints
 

It’s also a great quick test print if you want something fun while checking your printer settings.

Flight tips


Throw the glider gently, not like a dart.

  • Slightly adjusting the wings can improve the glide.
  • Works best indoors or outside with little wind.
