Spring Glider Plane - 5g | 25min | Bambu Lab

🏆 Spring Play Challenge Entry — Stag3D May 2026

This ultra-lightweight glider is designed for quick printing and smooth flight performance.

✔ Only 5 grams weight
✔ Ready in just 25 minutes
✔ Perfect for outdoor flying
✔ Optimized for balance and glide stability

The aerodynamic structure provides stable and satisfying flight even with a simple hand launch. Ideal for beginners and fun quick prints.

🛫 How to Fly:

1. Hold at the fuselage center with thumb and index finger
2. Launch smoothly at a 10–15° upward angle — don’t throw hard!
3. Adjust nose weight with a tiny piece of clay if the glider dives or stalls

💡 Pro Tip: Add a small piece of modeling clay (~1g) to the nose tip to tune flight distance and stability. Flies further and more consistently than typical store-bought foam gliders.

Printing Settings (Recommended):

• Material: PLA
• Layer Height: 0.2 mm
• Infill: 10–15%
• Supports: No
• Print Time: ~25 minutes

Take it outside, launch it, and enjoy the glide!
