Classic 3D dragonfly puzzle

[primrose.lee]

I thought these would make nice christmas presents. 3mm MDF. Friction fit.

It’s 24" long with a 22" wingspan.

https://3axis.co/ Found it here. But they need a bit of work to be glowforge-ready.

edit- added a smaller version:

Neat!

The dragonfly looks great! Very cool of you to share the design.

[ptodd]

Wow … that’s huge!

[bkressley]

Thanks! That’s really big…

[PrintToLaser]

Nice!
Where did you get the MDF if I may ask?

[PlGHEADED]

Now all you need is to incorporate a small drone into the body somehow… (if out of cardboard maybe could lift it…)

My work gets it from a local wood supplier ( PJ White Hardwoods) in 4’x8’ sheets

It was way too big. I’ve scaled it down to a single sheet for easier cutting!

[ptodd]

Oh, thank you!

Here’s mine, scaled to work with ~1mm chipboard…

I don’t know anything about dragonflies but are the wings backwards? Looks great to me either way though.

[primrose.lee]

It certainly looks like they could be.

[davidgal2]

I made some of the reindeer and had the antlers backwards, so I have been there too.

[eflyguy]

hehe… I thought that when assembling, but I was just following the OPs pic… turns out they were. As the parts just slot together, no dragonfly wings were harmed in the correction of this error…

[primal_healer]

Made a paper version of that.

If it was worth doing its worth over doing lol. this is how it ended up.
