Hey Troll,
Nice drawing, easy to see the difference when drawn vs. converted.
Here is a Tiger Moth

Here's a pic I have of one we did a while back. Easy to assemble, just be sure to adjust slots accordingly for differences in material thickness. On the bright side only 28 slots...an easy one.

Yep...theres a couple floating around my yard as well.

Do my eyes deceive me?

I zoom in 300%+ to your unfinished pic...the welds, by all outward appearances appear to be tig. Nice touch!

going to try this as first 3D file to cut. what thickness do you recommend making this out of? thanks for all the shares been slowly learning and hope to have something to share in the future

What gauge did you use to cut out the 3D Butterfly?
Great file, I hope to cut a few out for my students to assemble.
Thank you.

Gauge is really a personal choice. Some people use thin material like 16ga., I used 12ga. for all my art, even these butterflies and the dragonflies. Gave my work a little "heft" if you will among other things. The important thing though is to be sure the slots are sized properly for ease of assembly no matter the ga. material used. (Made one from 10ga. with 48" wingspan

)
