Introduction: Wing Tip Glider
I am a Grandview Preparatory School Student. I am in 7th grade and I made a glider that has specially improved stability for flying in windy weather. Due to limited access to Fusion 360, I made some of the project in Tinkercad
Supplies
- 3D printer filament
- 3D printer
- Sandpaper
- Sharp pliers
- Computer
Step 1: Make the Body
Starting in Tinkercad, I used a cylinder with a circumference of 22mm. with a length of 174mm (you can use any scale you like). After that is done, add a dome to the back, and a cone to the front. Export for later.
Step 2: Add the First Wing
Draw a wing with the drawing tool in Tinkercad rounded in the front and flat in the back. Start small and scale bigger.
Step 3: Making the Wings
Move to Fusion 360. Insert this image into tinkercad draw one wing, copy that wing 4 times, and size to the scale you like, or the scale your printer can print to.
Step 4: Bring It Together
Import the body and main wing to the project. you can do this using insert mesh.
Step 5: Building the Glider
Join everything together. Then center the wings and main wing.
Step 6: You Did It
