This is a disc golf disc with geometry based on the following paper about optimizing the aerodynamics of fribees: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00158-021-03107-7.
I printed the disc in the orientation of the STL file using supports, and the supports took a good deal of effort (required some sanding) to remove. This Frisbee also seemed to fly pretty similarly to an off the shelf disc golf driver, so I'm not sure how well the optimized geometries from the paper actually hold up in practice.
Another note is that this is the PDGA compliant disc from the paper.
