Box kites - just like in the old days...
Set the corner connectors for the construction of a box kite here, which is only manufactured with modern technology, as in GDR times.
The boxes have a size of 250x250mm and a height of 3x 200mm according to the old building instructions.
The wooden strips are common DIY store goods with 6x6mm and 1000mm lengths.
Cut the chopsticks to size and glue them into the printed corners with cold glue.
Kraft paper is suitable as a covering, which is available in different colours.
The construction time without drying times is about 8 hours.
As a cord I have chosen a masonry cord with Ø1mm.
They are available at 100m on the roll.
The STL data is shown in print position and number of pieces in the file name.
In any case, print with BRIM !

Insert the corner connectors here to build a box kite that, just like in the GDR era, is manufactured using only modern technology.
According to the old building instructions, the boxes measure 250x250mm and are 3x 200mm high.
The wooden strips are standard hardware store items measuring 6x6 mm and 1,000 mm in length.
Cut the strips to size and glue them into the printed corners using cold glue.
Kraft paper, which is available in various colors, is suitable for the covering.
Construction time, excluding drying time, is approximately 8 hours.
For the string, I chose a mason’s string with a diameter of 1 mm.
It comes in 100-meter rolls.
The STL files are labeled with the print orientation and number of parts in the filename.
Be sure to print with BRIM!
