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

  1. 3D printer filament
  2. 3D printer
  3. Sandpaper
  4. Sharp pliers
  5. 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.
