This is a mid-range disc golf disc model I generated using the numerically optimized design from the paper: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00158-021-03107-7. Shout out to BigBlambino for identifying this paper and posting a model for the driver disc. The mid-range profile, shown below, was designed to have a balance between the lowest drag (as needed for the driver) and highest lift (as needed for the putter). Filament Type and Disc WeightDisc weight can easily be adjusted by changing infill %. To achieve higher disc weights in the 175-180g range I prefer, I found that higher density plastics in the 1.2-1.25 g/ml range (PLA, PETG, TPU) were needed. ABS and ASA, with densities closer to 1 g/ml, were too low to achieve the higher weight range even at 100% infill. An oddity I noted in printing these discs was that the model weight predicted by the Bambu slicer was approximately 9-11g higher than the actual disc weight. As example, the profile I posted lists a model weight of 1
