About this 3D model

DaVinci's flying kite I always loved Leonardo Da Vinci's flying machine, so I made his design (with a few intentional alterations) into model that is easy (no support needed, custom brim already incorporated into the model) and quick to print. Every part except body (2 h) needs approximately 1 hour to print. // The wings are printed like a flat surface but are bend according to the main ribs when assembled. The wing span is 65 cm. // The body is designed so that is aerodynamic and lets the 4 screws that hold the tail and main ribs to the body to penetrate making it ideal for a variety of add-ons. Throught the design process, in my mind I was always thinking about the hawk - a bird commonly seen in the place where I live. So the weight and the wing span of this object is very similar to the ones of the female hawk. // You can now print it, assemble it and have your own DaVinci's flying machine that can actually fly like a kite. // No additional materials needed except the screws and nylon threads (the wings are printed so that they are not able to loosen up, they are light, strong and flexible so they can be bended), just print all the parts, screw everything together (the wings are holding themselves tight to the main ribs even without the screws) add some nylon threads and make it fly! //
