Reply to: 3D printed parts

Message body

[quote=waiex191]Thought I would start a thread to see if anybody is printing parts for their boat.  I printed some jib clips for a buddy of mine who has a Capri 14.2.  His old ones were worn out, so they would fall off the forestay as he was trying to snap them on.  The clip screws onto the jib and clamps the bolt rope.  To get it on the forestay you twist the clip 90 degrees, pop it on the stay, then rotate it back.

My $100 Snark came with a door hinge for the plywood rudder.  I am not going to buy $300 worth of parts to put it back, so I printed this gudgeon for about $8 worth of filament.  I'll be making a new rudder, rudder bracket, and tiller as well.

My buddy with the Supercat 17 says he had been having a hard time finding batten holders, and thought that was a good candidate for printed parts.

I designed all this stuff in Freecad and printed it on a Flashforge Finder printer.<em>Edited by waiex191 on Nov 17, 2020 - 03:36 PM.</em> [/quote]
