Le Petit-Avion

It all started when I saw this tweet:

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
