I love seeing flying toys and ‘copter parts on Thingiverse because they really showcase the finest points of 3D printing – fine details, strong, durable, thin, and lightweight.  This Whirligig by ThePlanetMike is an excellent accessible and understandable application of how versatile 3D printing can be.  And it’s an awesome flying toy.

Introducing a fully printable flying object: the Whirligig. Just like its wooden toy ancestor, the whirligig will fly like a helicopter several meters when spun by hand. Here's a video of the Whirligig in action: youtu.be/Ly2nxN80kGs
