Print Of The Month - June 2025 Edition
We have had a bit of a heatwave this week, the sun shining and it seems summer is in full swing! We have been longing for a good day at the beach here in the office so we were inspired to print some beach games to take with us next time we have some time off. Now is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the beach, the park, or even just the backyard, so for our print of the month this month, we wanted to try something fun.
After spending some time on Makerworld we found the AeroBlade Frisbee by atm473. This isn't your average disc. The AeroBlade features a striking toroidal (donut-shaped) inner blade, designed to improve flight stability and lift. Whether you're tossing it at the beach or launching it across a field, it’s a real head-turner, both visually and aerodynamically.
For this print, we used two colours of Copymaster PET-G filament (Dark and Light blue) on our Bambu Labs H2D printer, taking full advantage of its dual-nozzle setup. Having one filament loaded into each nozzle meant we could switch colours much more quickly than if we were using both colours from the AMS, making for a faster result while still retaining the same quality. You don't need a multi material printer for this print though, it will print fine in a single colour, we just liked the look of it in more than one colour.
PET-G has a bit of a reputation for being tricky with this model. Looking at the comments, some users online have reported poor flight performance with PET-G. However, we had great results. We used a 0.4mm nozzle on the Bambu labs generic PET-G profile with 2 layer walls and 15% infill. We thought that making it quite thin internally would help with the weight and help it fly better, while the PET-G should offer better strength than PLA with these settings. If you make sure you give it some good spin, our AeroBlade flies smoothly and consistently.
More importantly, PET-G is ideal for these kinds of outdoor prints for use on the beach in summer: it’s stronger and has better impact resistance than PLA. It also holds up far better under heat, UV exposure, and sandy or wet environments. For something like a frisbee that’s going to be used outside—potentially bashed into trees, dropped in the sand, water, or left in the sun, it's the perfect material. So if you're using PET-G, don’t let the mixed reviews scare you off. With the right settings and a solid throw, this frisbee really flies.
Whether you're looking to keep the kids entertained, challenge your friends to a long-distance throw, or just add a bit of flair to your summer games, the AeroBlade is an awesome addition to your outdoor gear.
