This is a remix of "Bukobot Fly - 1 piece printable glider that flies!" https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:22268 by deezmaker.

I was looking for a model to make with my son and this one intrigued me. I made a few of the original then started tweaking it. My goal was to reduce weight and make it fly a little slower. This is where I ended up.

I enlarged the original model by 125%. I tapered the leading edge of the wing, thinned the vertical fin to 0.8mm and extended it forward, tapered the rear of the fuselage/tail boom. Thinned the horizontal stabilizer and wing to 0.24mm and shortened the nose to get to balance with a M3 x 8 hex head pan screw.

Printing this was a challenge on a stock Tarantula Pro print bed. It was just not flat enough. I ended up buying 235x235 borosilicate glass and used glue sticks or hair spray to get the PLA to stick.

The second challenge was to get the print bed level.. supremely level, in order to get a consistent 0.24mm thickness on the flying surf
