Is This the Lightest Flying 3D Print? 3g < 10 Min

Boost Me

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.
