This is a design made in Tinkercad, and requires a little bit of assembly.

First, you have to design your plane. make sure the wings are thin! I added some extra weight on top of each wing tho. And don't forget a tailpiece. (or, if you just want the stl, i can give it to you.)

Then get your STL, and print it! Mine took about 45 minutes.

Removal

Wait until your build plate is completely cooled, and attempt to remove the glider. It was actually a bit easier than I thought.

Paint

I decided to paint mine, for extra weight. And it looked bland. ;) I used acrylics.

Assembly

Hot glue the top (blue part) close to the nose, and glue the tailpiece into its slot. The white piece on the bottom goes into the spot tightly enough it doesn't need glue.

Fly It!

Here's the final result! I was quite pleased. It flies great!
