Description

A simple test for ultra lightweight and robust bionic wing design for MAVs. It's directly printed onto a plastic sheet for a wing membrane.

Background
The process is very similar to this study here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-98242-y

Venation Pattern
Hawkmoths are capable of hovering and performing rapid maneuvers, thanks to their robust yet flexible wings. These features enable stable flight and precise control, essential for navigating complex environments. The venation pattern of the hawkmoth's wings plays a crucial role in aerodynamic efficiency, facilitating lift and reducing drag. This design adaptation is particularly beneficial for MAVs, where energy efficiency and maneuverability are paramount.

Design Notes
I tried to keep the weight relations of the veins roughly in accord to the real thing. 
I went for a span of 36cm. Weight without membrane is about 3g.
