Arrow Fletching and Nock for 5/16" Wood Dowels

prusaprinters

<p>Designed from scratch with thinner vanes and a 3" deep hole to fit a 5/16" wood dowel (Home Depot).</p> <p>Vane is about 3 3/4" long.</p> <p>I recommend increasing printing flow to 102% as I've experienced a bit of underextruding.</p> <p>I recommend attaching it with shrink tube in the front a dab of hot glue or super glue on sides. The hole is cone shaped to allow sharpening of the dowel for a better stability.</p> <p>I'm not an archer, I designed it from online fletching guides.</p> <p>I will add other vane designs upon request, I have no idea what design works best.</p> <p>UPDATE 5/20/2019:</p> <p>Added 2 degrees angle to vanes. It should increase accuracy and stability.</p> <p>Also improved vanes' shape.</p> <p>Added seperate model of the fletching only for flexible filament printing.</p> <p>5/23/2019:</p> <p>Added a fletch with no nock that can be printed in vase mode in less than 40 minutes.</p> <p>I have NOT tested it yet.</p> <p>Nock is too wide, I will fix it soon.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Ender 3</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.2mm</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>12%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> Solutech PLA <p>Camo Green</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Printed at 50mm/s with 6mm raft extra margin, 102% flow, 4 wall line count.<br/> Fletching seems to be a bit brittle printing at 200 degrees, I'll try printing at 210 to strengthen layer adhesion. <p>I suggest stopping the print at 5 or 6mm to check rod diameter fit. Scale in your slicer accordingly.</p> </p></div></p> Category: Sport & Outdoors
