It all started when I saw this tweet:

Ah! J’ai enfin trouvé comment attacher le petit avion de guidon que m’avait offert mon frangin ! pic.twitter.com/9Lbajl433f

Then, I did my own version:

Which I decided to share:

Pictures of a build and the STL files are available on Cultsd3.com FreeCAD files are available on github

And I also decided to print it for people that can't 3D print.

I got so many requests on the first weeks after my tweet, that I spend most of April and May 2022 printing non-stop. It was amazing.

Every picture I see makes me super happy.

I started printing again mid June 2022, some of the planes were shipped even to Belgium :)

Design

All the design is made using Open Source software, mainly FreeCAD

3DPrinting

This is how the planes are printed (time lapse)

PLA available colors

Avalability will change over time.
