Baseplate to Mast Angled Shim for Axis 19mm Mast

thingiverse

Angled mast shim for changing the angle between the mast and baseplate with a 19mm Axis aluminum mast. The part goes inside the baseplate, and between the baseplate and the mast extrusion. This is an alternative to using a baseplate shim between the baseplate and board. With the parts I have, the amount of angle adjustment is limited to about 1.5 degrees, there may be some variation so check before attempting to use this shim. When shimming near the board, keep in mind that the angle adjusts the foil position forwards and backwards. For each degree of angle, the foil will shift forwards or backwards about half an inch on a 75cm mast (more with longer masts). This effectively shifts the usable range of the tracks in the board. **Shims and Adapters** This is a list of various shims and adapters I've designed for foiling, most are available on Thingiverse, but a few are for sale. *Baseplate to Mast Angled Shim* - Adjusts the angle of the board to the mast. This does the same thing as a baseplate shim, but it goes inside the baseplate. [Axis 19mm version](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5425520) *Baseplate to Mast Flat Shim* - Fills the gap between the baseplate and the sides of the mast extrusion to make the system slighty more rigid. [Axis 19mm version](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5435184) *Surf Elementals Mast Adapter* - Adapter to use the more rigid 19mm Axis aluminum masts with Takuma foils. [Axis 19mm Mast to Takuma Fuselage version](https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/mast-adapter-axis-19mm-mast-to-takuma-fuselage/4560337207403075) *Mast to Fuselage Angled Shim* - Adjusts the angle between the mast and the fuselage. It's similar in function to a baseplate shim, but it goes inside the fuselage. [Takuma version - aluminum](https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/fuselage-shim-for-takuma-foils/5472914619399193) [Takuma version - printable](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5435703) *Front Foil Flat Shims* - Fills the gap in the front wing to fuselage joint. This should help with issues like the wing coming loose and bolts breaking. (not uploaded yet) *Tail Foil Angled Shims* - Adjusts the stabilizer angle relative to the front foil and fuselage. This can be used to tune foot pressure. [Takuma version](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5425326)
