This is a glider with a simple elastic-band launcher.

The glider was designed to be printed with a first layer of 0.3 mm and the other layers of 0.2 mm. I recommend using three perimeters and 5% rectilinear infill.

At the glider's bottom is a notch where the elastic band should be hooked. The launcher could the used to avoid the collision of the glider with your fingers.

The glider was designed using Freecad. Remixes are welcome (source files are included).


My inspiration for this glider was the Spitfire with its elliptical wings. So, I used ellipses for the wings, the tail, and the nose.

I printed using PLA, but it survived several collisions with hard surfaces.

Enjoy!
