ALISE Pull Spin Fly

ALISEO — Pull, Spin & Fly

Build your own rotor launcher, choose a shape and give it a spin! ALISEO is a fully 3D printed project with interchangeable rotors, so you can try different designs using the same launcher.

Everything you need to assemble it comes from your printer: no screws, glue or extra hardware required.

• 9 rotor designs to explore, including 4, 5 and 6 blade shapes, curved blades and closed loops.
• Two weight options for every design: Ultra Light and Light.
• No supports required in the supplied print orientation.
• Simple assembly with printed interlocking parts.
• Swap rotors in seconds and find your favourite.
• Small printer friendly: every rotor fits a 180 × 180 mm plate, and a compact launcher option is available too.

Choose your rotors

• Ultra Light: the lightest option, with thin blades and edges. A good starting point for your first flight experiments; handle these rotors gently.
• Light: the same collection of shapes with thicker blades and edges, for a little more substance when handling them.

You can download individual STL files or use the two 3MF collections. Each collection contains 9 separate plates, with one rotor per plate, making it easy to choose what to print next.

How to assembly?

Ready to launch?

1. Assemble the launcher using the included English guide.
2. Slide the pull strip into the launcher and place your chosen rotor on top.
3. Hold the launcher level, with the rotor parallel to the ground.
4. Pull the strip out with a quick horizontal movement. A small upward movement of the launcher can help the rotor take off.

Flight depends on the rotor, the print and your launch technique. Try a few shapes and small changes to your movement to see what works best for you.

Print a rotor, try it out and share your favourite! Photos, makes and feedback are welcome—especially which shape you enjoyed most.
