Print both pieces laying flat and material of choice, except TPU, probably wouldn't work that well. Glue both halves together and it's ready to fly! Will need to be “tuned” with blue tack/ sticky tack or similar. Place 0.50-1.0 gram tuning weight (Sticky tack) by the leading edge and adjust up or down for best performance. The seed is flying at it's most efficient when it is flying at more of a flat attitude rather than spinning in a cone like manner. This is called the “coning angle”. Added is a hook for rubber band assisted launches. I advise using a few 1/8"- 1/4" rubber bands attached to a wooden dowel or a stick to lessen the chances of having it hit your hand. Be mindful of this. It hurts. Have fun!
