Description
Built my first ever kiteboard and the other fins on here weren't quite to my taste. This one is mathematically designed and with a round leading edge. Google the "Coander effect" if you want to see why I didn't make the leading edge sharp. :-)
Dimensions:137.2 long x 8.98 thick x 40mm deep.
I'm only just learning kiteboarding, lots of on line research and I've windsurfed lots but I haven't rigged up and hit the water with a kite yet.
See the instructions too, it's a big ask to 3D print plastic durable enough for stresses of real life use on a board like this!
Second part is a mould. Mirror image to get second half of mould!

did you end up using a 3d printed fins? If yes what material did you use?
I do use them on one of my boards but I moulded them and then filled the voids with 2-part polyurethane resin plastic. I recommend a shore hardness of around 70. Ninjaflex's "Armadillo" has a shore hardness of 75 and would be suitable.
Hi, nice design. :) How have you designed it and is it possible to get the cad file? Greets
