3D model of tigermcho
The models were repaired and checked for printability.
"Magic Butterfly" or "Butterfly Surprise/Prank" is a flying toy to
...Show more surprise your friends when it flies out of a letter, book, card, magazine, etc. There are so many kinds of these butterfly toys, and you can get it easily from the Internet.
I designed a fully 3d printed and rubber band-powered flying butterfly like the Magic Butterfly.
And it was designed to fit the 30mm long rubber band. So, this is much smaller(65mm wide x 60mm tall) and lighter(about 850mg) than other fliers.
